Tell me more: Toad the Wet Sprocket has released one of the first great albums of 2026, Rings: The Acoustic Sessions. The 14 tracks on Rings burst forth with new emotional and musical textures sure to please longtime fans while also serving to introduce Toad the Wet Sprocket's timeless sound to new listeners. And while the new versions here are performed by singer-guitarist Glen Phillips, guitarist Todd Nichols and bassist Dean Dinning along with 11 guest players with a battery of acoustic guitars, acoustic bass, piano, accordion, fiddle, mandolin and an array of other instruments, there is a palpable energy across the collection that draws comparisons with the band's well-recognized sonic approach.
