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 [[Billboard magazine|Top Internet Albums]] chart. ==Track listing== ===Disc one=== #"Little Lilly" (Widespread Panic) – 5:07 #"Give" (Widespread Panic) – 3:29 #"Imitation Leather Shoes" (Widespread Panic) – 4:14 #"This Part of Town" (Widespread Panic) – 5:20 #"Sometimes" ([[Charles Edward Crawford|Crawford]]) – 3:32 #"Thought Sausage" (Widespread Panic) – 4:39 #"Down" (Widespread Panic) – 3:52 #"Big Wooly Mammoth/Tears of a Woman" (Widespread Panic) – 6:45 #"Casa del Grillo" (Widespread Panic) – 6:30 #"Old Joe" (Widespread Panic) – 3:50 #"Action Man" (Widespread Panic) – 4:30 #"Don't Tell the Band" (Widespread Panic) – 4:11 ===Disc two (Live bonus disc)=== #"Action Man" (Widespread Panic) – 4:25 #"Chilly Water, Pt. 1" (Widespread Panic) – 4:02 #"Pleas" (Widespread Panic) – 9:34 #"Chilly Water, Pt. 2" (Widespread Panic) – 2:29 #"C.
