Widespread Panic chronology Another Joyous Occasion
(2000)Don't Tell the Band
(2001)Live in the Classic City
(2002)Don't Tell the Band, is the seventh studio album released by the Athens, GA based band Widespread Panic. It was released on June 19, 2001 in two forms, a single disc and a double disc release. It was the second release through the bands own label, Widespread Records, in conjunction with UK-based label Sanctuary Records. The album covered a wide variety of styles, from rock to Latin and grunge to soul, yet did not depart from this jam band's signature sound.
Randall Bramblett, a solo musician and member of Steve Winwood's touring band, joined Widespread Panic on the tenor saxophone for a cover of fIREHOSE's Sometimes. Big Wooly Mammoth, a long-time crowd favorite sung by John "JoJo" Herman, was finally brought to the studio for this release. Unknown at the time, this would be Michael Houser's last studio album with Widespread Panic, before his cancer-related death in 2002.
The album reached a peak position of #57 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album also reached a peak position of #12 on the Top Internet Albums chart.
