NEW WIDESPREAD GITS 'ER DONE

Tune in, turn on, and jam out with Toast-n-Jam this Thursday night and feast your ears on preview tracks from the forthcoming Widespread Panic album Dirty Side Down, to be released next Tuesday (5/25/10).

The Athens, GA touring juggernaut has gone back to the well, as it were, to record with producer John Keane, who's always had a nice touch with the band's sound (maybe I'm the only one who thinks 'Til the Medicine Takes was a great record, but no one can argue against Space Wrangler, can they?).

Official 5-word review upon first listen: 1) Best 2) Album 3) Since 4) Mikey 5) Died.

No offense to George McConnell lovers (he's a great guy and an excellent axe slinger), but I think Jimmy Herring and the boys - with John Keane at the helm - demonstrate an outstanding chemistry on this release.

PHISH COVER STONES AGAIN

From phish.com:

On Thursday, May 13th, Phish will be the musical guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as part of the show’s Rolling Stones’ “Exile on Main Street” week (each night of the week a different band will cover a song from the classic Stones album). This will be the band’s first televised late-night appearance since 2004.

# # #

So, obviously, this calls for some Phish flashbacks from last Halloween's Indio, CA show (where they covered "Exile" in its entirety). I started digging and found a bunch of other band's Stones covers as well, and then I thought, "Why not just do a whole 'covers' show?" So, tune in this Thursday for a great batch of covers, some Stones-related, some not. Yeah, I know it's not Halloween or New Year's, but what the heck?

(^_^) TOAST
