Re: Which guests do you want to see on the new album?
outside of the usual suspects (Tim, Bela) and in the vein of treading new ground, the band should consider
Daniel Lanois (as a guest, not necessarily as a producer) I think he could add more depth than Randolph. Lanois plays the steel much differently. Randolph would be good on a rousing song ala Bayou.
The Roots. - if DMB truly wanted to go in a hip hop direction, this is about he only way I could even think about it. If DMB does Eh Hee, then this should be a no brainer.
Danny Barnes - a Bela alternative. He could really add a lot to Cornbread or 27.
Warren Haynes - Why not? As an electric guitarist, this guy has serious chops and could do a lot for the band.
All in all, don't use somebody for the sake of using them. Go make the music and utilize someone who's talents will compliment what was created (see Alanis Morrisette on Spoon).
