Rusted Root were part of the first wave of post-hippie jam bands and perhaps the most commercially successful of 'em all, as 1994's When I Woke, their second record and first major label release, went platinum. In fact, the band's popularity transcends the bonds of this planet, as their hit "Send Me on My Way" was chosen as the "wake-up" music for the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity! But we Earthlings have heard that song everywhere on our own terrestrial airwaves, from sitcoms like New Girl to movies like Ice Age. Grateful Dead-style acoustic jams, Peter Gabriel-esque chants, and Graceland-like world beats infuse this music with both heady nostalgia and forward-looking fusion; latter-day bands like The Polyphonic Spree definitely owe a debt to Rusted Root. But it's the spiritual concerns of lead songwriter Michael Glabicki that lend When I Woke it's healthy heft... this album's got more on it's mind that just having a good time (though it is all that and more!). For it's long, long-awaited LP debut, we've had it remastered it for vinyl and pressed it up as a double-record in rust and blue sky vinyl, complete with an enclosed insert. Limited to 2500 copies... to quote another song on this album, pure "Ecstasy!"
