Widespread Panic - Tunes For Tots

Widespread Panic believes that art education, and in particular music education, is integral to the overall education and advancement of children. Art allows for personal expression, appreciation of ideas, celebration of cultural awareness, sharing emotions, and gives purpose to life. Widespread Panic agrees with research findings that art education supports more traditional academic subjects as well as being a worthy pursuit in its own right.

sorry, I like his voice (Stephen Stills-ish) and the musicians but this song is WAY too derivative: the "lookin' for hope" part is exactly like "Lookin' for some hot stuff" and just too much like a whole lot of other songs ——but boring!

Like it.

Is anyone else hearing a little bit of "Louie, Louie, Louie, Lou-eee/Louie, Louie, Louie, Lou-ayyyyy/Louie, Louie, Louie, Lou-eee/Louie, Louie you're gonna cry" in the chorus?

Terrific guitarist. I was listening to some WSP to and from the hardware store yesterday. Coulda sworn he was playing a Gibson SG. Pulls an SG tone out of a Strat. Pretty cool.

If you go to a Widespread Panic concert, people are dancing the whole time, no matter how long they jam...  I am not kidding...

Widespread Panic's JIMMY HERRING "The Dead, Allmans, and Panic Experience"

Jimmy Herring on playing with the Allman Brothers, The Dead, and Widespread Panic and how it felt for him to "step into the shoes" of his biggest idols like Dickey Betts, Jerry Garcia, and peers like Michael Houser. Jimmy also touches on the influence of Jimi Hendrix in his life.

To me, the opening chords sound like Al Green's "Here I am" and then the lyrcs start to sound like the Stones "Heartbreaker"

I don't get the popularity of this band. Their songs sound quasi familiar to other musicians, nothing special in vocals or rythms, guitars are..ok. So what's the attraction? Another jam band with a national herd of followers?

hehe nice....

nah, just gettin' at my observation that these WSP concerts (of which I have been to three, I think, in various places) are more about druggin' than music. i just don't think WSP are that good (or original) and that they just happened to pick up the wave of male, amateur drug users that Phish left behind.

and fwiw i have no issues with drug use; recreational, professional, whatever..

Widespread Panic has just released a new album called Dirty Side Down...  they are booking tour dates to play the batch of new songs, which are getting great reviews...  I can't wait to see them—  I am a big fan...

This is a very good cover, but I do think the original with Paul Young still is a little sharper than this one.
