Title: Widespread Ventures Into Joyous New Territory
Product review: Another Joyous Occasion seems to be the perfect title for Widespread's debut release under their own label. This CD, like many albums by "jam" bands, gets better with each listen. Along with traditional crowd favorites such as the Fishwater>Superstition>Fishwater segue, Widespread gives us a nice dose of experimentation with a little "techno" in Arleen.Widespread Panic proves with this album that they will not be forced into the constraints of a particular genre of music. The fact of the matter is, the music on the album is spectacular, thanks largely to the magic of John Keene's mixing. Thanks, Widespread, and everyone be sure to pick up this album. Heck, it's only half the price of a concert ticket and who could ask for a better setlist. BTW - Check out Beehive Jam, it really starts smokin'. This live album by one of today's most underated bands will surely stand the test of time!
