Gov’t Mule is a southern rock/jam band formed in 1994 as an Allman Brothers Band side project, but has taken on a life of its own. Like many jam bands, Gov’t Mule does not get much radio airplay but is popular due to constant touring and intense fan loyalty.

When the Allman Brothers Band reformed in 1989 in response to the popularity of the Dreams box set, Warren Haynes was added on lead guitar and Allen Woody on bass. The two shared a love for ’60s power trios, like Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, and James Gang. With no bands making similar music in the 90s (except ZZ Top), Haynes, Woody, and former Dickey Betts drummer Matt Abts came together as Gov’t Mule during Allman Brothers’ breaks. (It is likely that Haynes and Abts first met during the recording of the Dickey Betts Band CD “Pattern Disruptive” in 1988.) They released their debut album the selftitled Gov’t Mule in 1995. It was followed by Live from Roseland Ballroom.

When it became apparent that the Allman Brothers weren’t planning on recording any new material, Haynes and Woody left to concentrate full-time on Gov’t Mule in 1997. Dose, the studio follow up to their first studio effort, was released in early 1998. They were joined by members of the Allman Brothers, the Black Crowes, and Parliament/Funkadelic for their 1998 New Year’s Eve concert. This was released in both a two and four CD version as Live …

This is a damn good album. It's got a little something for everybody, and it stays true to the bread and butter of the Mule while not sounding anything near repetitive. Just got one of their first live albums from the Roseland Ballroom and if you haven't heard any of it, it'll blow you away. Try "Painted Silver Light" or "Don't Step On The Grass Sam" (Steppenwolf Original).

Some movie clips of their concert last Saturday in Antwerp: http://www.youtube.com/user/malonelee1001 . I loved it, especially the second part of their show, where the intensity was only increasing!

And I'd second the comment on Jackie Greene as an opener. Warren really knows how to pick em. He was even better than Back Door Slam last summer.

I am seeing them this weekend for the first time. I only know this band by name and from some youtube clips. Considering their good live reputation, I hope to be blown away and return home completely staggered. High expectations!

Haven't seen them live since Jorgen joined, but I can tell from By A Thread that he is a very welcome addition to Mule
