DESCRIPTION: A haunting Blue Echo opens up before sliding into an extended take on Wife Soup. Home Again was the result of a little band interplay with The Disco Biscuits, who on the same night in Chicago, performed In the Kitchen. Morning Song, one of Umphrey's newest tunes, was taken from 2 previous "Jimmy Stewarts", one of which was featured on Podcast 16. Michael Kang once again lends his fiddle to augment Umphrey's, a common occurence last summer on the Jammy award-winning Big Summer Classic tour. The lounge rendition of Nopener features Jake showing off his drum chops while Kris takes center stage. (umphreys.com)
