FMT: Favorite Jam Band Studio Cuts

A couple of weeks ago, Dave, Jeff, Scotty and I attempted to tackle the collaborative project of creating our defining list of favorite jam band studio tracks. Ultimately, we came away with about 75 different entries and not a whole lot of uniformity. So, needless to say it’s still a work in progress. But in the meantime, I figured we could open it up and see what everybody else thinks while listening to a few favorites in this week’s mix tape.

To begin, we have Widespread Panic’s should-have-been-a-hit-single, Airplane, off of Ain’t Life Grand and then on to the defining version of Divided Sky from Junta with its beautiful acoustic intro and glockenspiel pings. Next up, it’s the jaw dropping vocal finale fireworks from Hot Buttered Rum’s Poison Oak and the systematic ambiance of Atmosfarag in all its Browning family (no relation) glory. Finally, we have two of the all-time studio epics in moe.’s Rebubula from No Doy, which is also featured on their new Smash Hits: Volume 1, and the Disco Biscuits’ Home Again.

So, what are your favorite jam band studio tracks? To be continued…
