Almost done with a spring tour, Athens, Ga. jammers Widespread Panic have announced a summer tour and work on a new album.

The band will head down to the Bahamas in May to record their 10th studio album with producer Terry Manning at Compass Point Recording Studios. The band plans to release the album in fall 2007 on its own Widespread Records.
