Double Vinyl Reissue!
Rolling Stone 2015 Readers' Poll: The 10 Best Jam Bands: Widespread Panic Rated 6th!
Early on, Widespread Panic began to forge a sound unto themselves, a combination of Michael Housers unorthodox guitar playing, John Bells coarse growl, Todd Nances rock-steady drumming, David Schools lead bass playing and Sunny Ortizs multi-textured percussion, coupled with a collective commitment to playing original songs from the outset and a willingness to walk the improvisational high wire night after night.
Space Wrangler is the first studio album by the Athens, GA band, Widespread Panic. It was first released by a small Atlanta label, Landslide Records, on February 4, 1988 and subsequently reissued by Capricorn Records/Warner Bros. Records and Zomba Music Group. While the CD has been released several times, the album was only released initially on vinyl and in an extremely limited quantity (1000 units).
"...It's a remarkably confident album that belies its tiny budget. The band hit the ground running, tip their hat to and blow a raspberry at Mark Knopfler, and generally show everyone a good time." -Steven McDonald, allmusic.com
