This is the first album with 702 Pelham Road new full-time guitarist Jimmy Herring (The Dead, I Aquarium Rescue Jacksonville Unit) and only the 'SUDOKU I second with producer I Teny Manning (Led Solution online @ www.thechanticleeron1ine.com/sudoku Zeppelin, ZZ Top). Some of the tunes still have a bit of that old school Pan~c . &> sound. "Boom, Boom, Boom." the opener, at h&$s~~~$f~t,~~ times is like being at a show, but the chorus is kind of cheesy, and then in the middle of the song there are some strange vocal effects. "Flicker" is a classic Widespread Panic rocker. Jimmy Herring's soulful guitar work on the album is incredible. He certainly has influenced the new sound the band is developing. The back beat arpeggio guitar solo in the ballad "Three Candles" is phenomenal and very rhythmically interesting. His playing on the jazzy, swinging tune, "Already Fried," is superb, and this is the best tune on the album. The album is peppered with strings from the Compass Point Orchestra, which is somewhat new for Widespread Panic. The heavily string-laden tune "Her Dance Needs No Body" has a verydifferent sound for the band. It is very interestingly arranged, and the song even has a soul-soaked saxophone solo. "Dark Day Frogram" is another song with the orchestra, and one of the better songs on the album. Herring is a great addition to the band, and his contributions to the album are certainly some of the more positive Lnt;a [fie lne:3r6u"f""..
