Widespread Panic – Space Wrangler (2-LP Vinyl)

Space Wrangler is where Widespread Panic planted their flag, the 1988 debut that introduced John Bell's weathered drawl and Michael Houser's sinuous guitar work to a world that would spend the next decades following them around the country. Recorded when the Athens, Georgia scene was crackling with energy, it captures a band already operating on its own frequency, equal parts Southern grit and psychedelic sprawl.
