Occasionally you run into an album that never drew much attention and is from a band whose time seems to have passed, but nonetheless is really good and undercredited.

Welcome to My Party by Rusted Root falls into this category. Rusted Root is best known for its mid 90s hit "Send Me On My Way," a cheery, upbeat song bursting with chant-inflected vocals and earthy neo-Deadhead instrumentation. Welcome to My Party, released six years later, features a decidedly sanitized derivative of this sound, but in a way that doesn't deflate its character. There's less of a feeling of a Wetlands immersion but it's still unmistakably Rusted Root. I highly recommend this album.
