SRV for sure...I would say Jerry Garcia, Neil Young. Maybe Tom Petty,
Van Morrison, and Lou Reed. I don't think you have to play jazz,
blues, or funk to have soul, although I think the term "Soul" is just
synonymous with those types of music, and those happen to be types of
music dominated by African Americans. But you can't tell me that Jerry
Garcia didn't have soul.
For the record I like Panic quite a bit but not nearly as much as
Phish, and that's why I'm not in a Panic news room right now. I think
this all boils down to some kind of lame "competition" between fans of
the two biggest jam bands right now. In my opinion the two bands have
somewhat similar philosophies (and therefore somewhat similar fan
bases) but they play very different music, so how can you really
compare? All that matters is that we all get that great feeling that
the original poster described...who cares about where we get it from?
