Trey Anastasio 's fifth solo studio album. It was the first release from his newly formed record label,Rubber Jungle Records . Work began on "Bar 17" shortly after the breakup ofPhish , but had to temporarily suspend the project due to the absence of producerBryce Goggin . During the long hiatus in the middle of the album's production, Anastasio flew to Atlanta to record his 2005 album "Shine", which was very pop-oriented and different from Anastasio's normal musical style. "Bar 17" contains songs written over roughly three years by Anastasio, from the spring of 2003 to the spring of 2006.The album features contributions by a greatly varied cast of musicians including former
Phish bandmatesMike Gordon andJon Fishman as well as theBenevento/Russo Duo andJohn Medeski . The album credits a total of 42 musicians as performing on various tracks. The first single released from the album is "Dragonfly", recorded with Mike Gordon and the Benevento/Russo Duo.Unlike "Shine", no video has been recorded.
"Bar 17" was released on October 3, 2006. Pre-orders made on Anastasio's official webstore came with a bonus disc, "
18 Steps ". Although it is not available in stores, "18 Steps" is available separately on the [http://www.livephish.com Live Phish] website.Track listing
