ALBUM REVIEW
Gregg Allman – “Low Country Blues” (released 1/18/11, Rounder Records)
Word is this album was recorded before Gregg Allman had his liver transplant last summer, but you’ll find no gloomy, death’s door vibe in these intentionally lo-fi grooves. Ubiquitous producer T Bone Burnett brings his favorite players to bear on a sound which calls to mind some of the blues greats Allman grew up idolizing (if his early-career cover songs are any indication). For better or worse, this album sounds like a dusty old analog recording, and Burnett’s uncannily encyclopedic knowledge of long-forgotten gems from the likes of “Sleepy” John Estes, Bobby “Blue” Bland, and Otis Rush fits Allman’s delivery like a glove.
Seeing Allman perform the one original from the set, “Just another Rider,” on the David Letterman show, I was struck by how adept and frisky his B-3 playing still was at age 63. He made it look so effortless, but he was hardly just going through the motions. His trademark bluesy growl might be a little thinner, but it still has presence, and the band was absolutely aces. The subdued horn arrangements added a welcome sparkle to the song without overwhelming its gritty earthiness, and the same can be said for the sound of the album. It sounds like the Muscle Shoals album Allman probably always wanted to make.
As the Allman Brothers Band gears up for another epic Beacon run in March, the bad news is Allman’s tour schedule overall for 2011 is very scaled back. After his surgery last summer, Allman was quoted as saying, “I changed my ways years ago, but we can’t turn back time. Every day is a gift.” Maybe at this point we should treat every Allman performance and recording as a gift, too. Here’s hoping he has years of great playing ahead of him, but if “Low Country Blues” should end up being his swan song, it would be a great one.

STREAM WIDEPSREAD PANIC LIVE
As part of their 25th anniversary celebration, Widespread Panic will be streaming the upcoming, sold-out Georgia events at livewidespreadpanic.com
The shows are February 10th and 11th (Athens), and February 14th (Atlanta). The live streams will be available beginning at 7:30 p.m. EST on all 3 nights, according to widespreadpanic.com
And, to all the haters who saw fit to leave comments on my review of WP's NYE show @ jambands.com - how can you live with yourselves being such @$$holes in public? If you don't like the band, why would you read a review of their show? Mystifying.

WIDESPREAD PANIC 12/31/10 Pepsi Center, Denver, CO
Great show. What it lacked in rarities was made up for by an incredibly solid performance from everyone, including guests David Bromberg and G. Love.
My personal highlights of the night were "Blight," "Imitation Leather Shoes," "Pilgrims," and a surprise cover of Warren Zevon's "Lawyers, Guns and Money."
Full review published at jambands.com. Meanwhile, the official audio is available for download at livewidespreadpanic.com

WIDESPREAD 25th ANNIVERSARY SHOWS
From Widespread Panic's publicist:
"2011 marks the band's 25th Anniversary. In celebration of this huge milestone, the band will be performing three very special shows: Two at the Classic Center in Athens, GA, February 10th & 11th, and One at the legendary Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA, February 14th!
Performing the Athens shows holds an extra special significance, as The Classic Center sits on the site of the former Mad Hatter Ballroom, where the band played its first official show February 6th, 1986. The Fox Theatre in Atlanta has been and continues to be site of many memorable Widespread Panic shows.
Tickets for all three shows go on sale this Saturday January 8th. Full ticket and show details found here. We hope you can join us in the celebration."

These shows are bound to sell out fast, y'all - you've been warned (^_^) TOAST

TnJ 150 (12/30/10)
EXPANDO!!! The show ran 3 hours so John “Frogville” Treadwell could wait for the snow on his steep driveway to melt safely. Goodbye, 2010! We’ll miss you (^_^), or will we? Mwa-Ha-HAH!
-HOUR ONE-
Guest-Toast David Del Mauro returns with a sampling of his favorite 2010 sounds…
Audio > Rocco singing “Del Mauro Boys” a capella
THE BLACK KEYS – Black Mud (2010 Brothers)
RAY LaMONTAGNE and the PARIAH DOGS – God Willin’ & the Creek Don’t Rise (2010 God Willin’ & the Creek Don’t Rise)

The list here doesn’t fully represent the smooth, creative blending of sounds David managed to accomplish. I tried to let him steer as much as possible without looking over his shoulder, but the parts I did manage to hear reminded me of the olden days of creative radio. I rarely get to hear other DJs shoot for that aesthetic, and I quite enjoyed it – thank you, David.
