Sandbox is the second studio album developed by Widespread Panic Lead Guitarist Michael Houser.
Released posthumously in 2006, 'Sandbox' is a collection of Houser originals Recorded at John Keane's Athens, GA studio in August 2002, shortly before his death from pancreatic cancer.[1] In contrast to Door Harp, the tracks are mostly full-band rockers, several of which had been played by Widespread Panic in the past.[2] Also unlike Door Harp, the songs are all accompanied by Houser's low-key vocals.
Most instruments are played by Houser and Keane, with the Widespread Panic percussion section of Todd Nance and Domingo S. Ortiz providing drums and percussion respectively.[3] Lyrically, some of the new songs on the album share the theme of saying goodbye (Goodbye My Love, No Cryin' Now).
A two-song bonus CD with outtakes was included with the original release in 2006.
