“Rock n Roll, or Whatever You Call It:” Panic and the Boys from Bloodkin

This week, we highlight a handful of songs brought to Widespread Panic by Daniel Hutchens and Eric Carter, aka Bloodkin. They came up at about the same time in Athens, and while Panic has achieved jam band royalty status, Bloodkin has remained under the radar, despite their massive songwriting output and far reaching influence, extending far beyond Panic. It is really hard to imagine Panic without the songs of Danny and Eric, from “Henry Parsons Died” to “End of the Show.” Selections include a handful of shows where the boys from Bloodkin sit in with Panic - it really doesn’t get much better than Danny and JB trading verses on “Quarter Tank of Gasoline” - including some rare FTP/only time played tunes. This episode is also remarkable for two reasons: Harvey makes a GRAND proclamation about one of the segments, and we (happily) play our first tracks from Widespread Panic 3.0, featuring the deft guitar work of Jimmy Herring. Enjoy!
