Widespread Panic/Jay-Z mash-up

Probably the only time a rap/hip hop artist will be featured on this blog in any way, shape or form…but this works for some reason.

“Papa’s Home” - Widespread Panic

“Well the snow keeps fallin’ down…Frosty’s getting fatter.”

“Imitation Leather Shoes” - Widespread Panic

Sometimes they almost sounded like a heavy metal band. Mikey is just so damn loud on this one. 2:32 is the lick that got a lot of people I know hooked on this band.

“Barstools and Dreamers” - Widespread Panic

Michael Houser is probably the best guitar player you never heard of. I got to see him perform once before he sadly died of pancreatic cancer in 2002, but I listen to more of his work than any other single musician probably other than Johnny Cash.

“She Caught The Katy” - Widespread Panic

Looking forward to seeing them in Baltimore next month.

This is as good as it gets. John Bell from 3:35 on is a force of nature.
