I've been listening to this in my office this morning as I've been working, and damn, it's just so good. Whilst Jeff Sipe, Jimmy Herring, Oteil and Kofi Burbridge have gone on to bigger, and sometimes better things elsewhere, ARU post-Hampton were simply an amazing, and criminally overlooked, band. It's incredible to think that, out of all their H.O.R.D.E cohorts of the early 90s (Widespread Panic, The Spin Doctors, Blues Traveler, Phish, Dave Matthews, etc.) ARU were the only band that went on to precisely nothing in commercial terms, and yet they were by FAR the most talented. Hmmm, maybe there's a connection there...
Anyway, this album is now, to all intents and purposes, unavailable, so I'm grateful to whoever posted this on Youtube - enjoy!! Any comments?
