What are some other great albums that sound like the Meat Puppets' Up on the Sun?

Probably not exactly like Up On The Sun
But I was reminded of this threadcat least by seeing the touring version of this band last night.
A now US resident African griot and a band of old timey/bluegrass players playing together also including an African djembe player and augmented by a harmonica player at times.

Mandolin player near shreds harmonically at points.pretty sublime live.
They're just touring Ireland at the moment. If they do play near you I'd try to catch them

& I finally get to actually watch the video I had been sent a couple of weeks back in the wake of seeing a different versio of teh band.
Last night had Cheick Hamala Diabate and Danny Knicely plus a different banjoist and bassist and djembe player. So really not sure if it is a permanent project with the 2 consistent or if it si a totally rotating cast thing or what.
Seemed to be more electric than what is shown there at least

I'll enthusiastically second the Arbor Labor Union recommendation. Their last 2 albums always make me think of Up On the Sun, though I don't feel like they're consciously aping the Meat Puppets. Just a similar melange of punk/Dead/surrealism. They can bring it live, too.

yeah, i've been jamming the new one, it's good.

not really but still... (i am really enjoying this whole album a lot.)
