Producers: S. Tillage, J. Coppage, John Keane. Recorded at John Keane Studio, Athens, Georgia and Emerald Studios, Nashville, Tennessee. Originally released on Landslide (1016). All songs written by Widespread Panic, except "Me And The Devil Blues" (Robert Johnson), "Heaven" (David Byrne/Jerry Harrison) and "Travelin' Light" (J.J. Cale). Widespread Panic's first album, originally released on a tiny Atlanta, GA label. This reissue boasts three new tracks, one of them a lengthy medley; more to the point, 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 Format: Vinyl Genre: Rock
