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.
Widespread Panic is the self-titled, second studio album by the Athens, Georgia-based band Widespread Panic. It was first released by Capricorn Records and Warner Bros. Records on July 30, 1991. This title was never officially released on vinyl.
The band had originally recorded material in September 1990 at producer/collaborator/friend John Keane's studio in Athens, Georgia. This session, called Mom's Kitchen, featured the majority of the songs that would eventually be recorded for Widespread Panic, along with other tracks like "A of D," "Impossible," "Machine," "Liza's Apartment (L.A.)," "Conrad," "Contentment Blues," and "Holden Oversoul," of which the latter two were included on the reissues of Space Wrangler (1988). Mom's Kitchen, however, was never released because the band signed a six album deal with Capricorn Records in January 1991.
Recording of the album proper took place at Emerald Sound Studios (Nashville, Tennessee), Kiva Studios (Memphis, Tennessee), and Duck Tape Music Studio (Decatur, Alabama). The album features T Lavitz on keyboards and was produced by Johnny Sandlin.
"Subtle, intelligent rock that blends numerous elements into a smooth, propulsive blend of structure and improvisation -- rock with energy, talent and brains. These guys may have influences, but they're no one's clone." -Steven McDonald, allmusic.com
