Dirty Side Down is the eleventh studio album by American band Widespread Panic. The album signaled the return of John Keane as producer and was recorded in the band's hometown of Athens, Georgia, in contrast to the previous two albums produced by Terry Manning at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas. It is the fourth album released after the death of Michael Houser and the first for ATO Records Songs on the album range from road-tested classics like Jerry Joseph's classic North, Clinic Cynic, one of the few songs where Todd Nance sings lead vocals, and Visiting Day to new originals like Saint Ex, Shut Up and Drive and Cotton Was King. Also included is This Cruel Thing the latest of several Vic Chesnutt covers released by the band, and True to My Nature a collaboration with Daniel Hutchens of Bloodkin. Widespread Panic’s John Bell on “Saint Ex”: My wife Laura and I are great fans of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It's thought of as a children’s book but conveys some pretty heavy messages on many levels.
