“Little Kin” is a Widespread Panic original.

‘Little Kin’ is a... lyrically I can't really go into it too much; it's one of JB's and it seems highly personal... I luuuuv that song!... it's kind of personal to me too because I'm an adopted child... I guess it's about childhood and learning to deal with the things of life. As far as a bass player, I love it cause it's just a slab of greasy, raw funk.
