The Story of the Ghost, Phish's seventh studio album, came out on Elektra on October 27, 1998, and it's the Vermont jam band trying to bottle what had been happening onstage. Through 1997 and 1998 they had been stretching out in concert into a jazz-funk strain known as "cow-funk", and this record leans right into it, with Andy Wallace producing.
Trey Anastasio's guitar chicken-scratches over Mike Gordon's rubbery bass, Jon Fishman keeps the pocket deep and Page McConnell's keyboards fill in the corners, the four of them locked together like a groove machine that has learned to hold back. "Birds of a Feather" led the way as the first single and made the Top 20 on Billboard's Adult Alternative Songs chart, and the painter George Condo supplied the cover.
