WIDESPREAD PANIC, Free Somehow
Official Site | MySpace | Stream | MP3* | MP3**
It seems like Athens-based Widespread Panic has been playing music forever (if you consider 20 years as being close to ‘forever’). Averaging a new record every two years, 2008 brings us their tenth studio album titled ‘Free Somehow’. This is another consistently good WP record if you’re a Widespread fan like I am. Bookended by two standouts, start with opener “Boom, Boom, Boom” and be sure and hear the closer “Up All Night”. File under: Rock / Blues / Jazz
Boom, Boom, Boom
