 (1 Customer Review)
For jam-band fans, Widespread Panic's annual Halloween shows are among the scene's most legendary and eagerly awaited events. Each year, usually in New Orleans, the Georgia-based group performs a set of cover material for throngs of costumed revelers. JACKASSOLANTERN collects the best moments from several of these concerts on a single disc. The wide stylistic pool from which these songs are drawn reveals Widespread Panic's roots as a hard-touring frat-party band; everything from Black Sabbath's heavy metal classic "Sweet Leaf" to Nelly's 2000 smash hip-hop hit "Hot in Herre" is played with equal amounts of irreverence and bluesy, boozy aplomb. The combo uses several songs as opportunities for extended jams, even inserting bits of Bob Marley's "Get Up Stand Up" into the middle of War's "Slippin' into Darkness." The band really hits its stride on the nearly 17-minute version of the Barrett Strong-penned Temptations hit "Ball of Confusion," which perfectly suits WP's trademark mix of greasy southern soul and loose-limbed guitar rock.

In today's brand before band, corporate-driven music landscape, it's too easily forgotten that not so long ago, the top groups made their mark on the road first, earning fans with substance over stylization. Brazenly defying the current crowd of canned poprockers and creating impassioned, pertinent music on their own terms, New York City's Jason Liebman & The Uprising are making their mark the old fashioned way, bringing enough musical muscle, onstage swagger and beholden-to-no-one rebel spirit to chase down the ghosts of heroes past. Only three years ago, Jason Liebman, guitarist, singer/songwriter and a mainstay on the legendary New York City rock club scene since the age of seventeen, began branching out from the shadows of bands past to make a name for himself as a solo performer. Through audience word-of-mouth and some early rough demos, these shows quickly grew to a happening.By the end of that first year, Liebman began performing with a trio that included multifaceted bassplayer / vocalist Aaron Wolfe; Wolfe would eventually become Jason's longest-running musicalcollaborator to date and a founding member of The Uprising. Appearing under Jason's name, the trio expanded their NYC base to packed houses at well-known downtown rooms such as Mercury Lounge, Arlene Grocery and The Continental. In June of '02, Liebman released his debut LP, The Driest Of All Seasons, on his own independent label, For The Artist Records. An auspicious introduction, the album received rave reviews from music industry mainstays, alternative 'zines, national, regional and local press alike. The Driest Of All Seasons also became a radio success without the benefit of national distribution or major promotional support. Within four months of the release, over 200 east coast college, public and commercial radio stations from Maine to Virginia Beach had added the album to their regular rotation. Driest earned a "Best Of 2002" nod from Long Island's WLIU, a dominant regional station in the New York area, and charted at CMJ. The album continues to receive strong radio airplay (as reported by BMI). With the initial groundswell of success, Liebman and company hit the road behind The Driest Of All Seasons in spring 2003. The lineup now included guitar phenom, Jon Lundbom, who cut his teeth in Chicago's storied improvisational ...
