Dose [Digipak] [Limited]

Performer: Gov't Mule
Engineer: Michael Barbiero
Producer: Michael Barbiero
Distributor: Infinity Entertainment Gr

Notes: Gov't Mule: Warren Haynes (vocals, electric, acoustic & slide guitars, bass drum); Allen Woody (bass, electric mandolin, dulcimer, prima); Matt Abts (drums, djembe, ashiko). Principally recorded at Water Music, Hoboken, New Jersey. Gov't Mule's sound is a throwback to the '70s heyday of Southern rock, and their style is peppered with references to the best of the Allmans, with a liberal dose of early ZZ Top thrown in for good measure. Their second album shows no signs of a sophomore slump, featuring playing and songwriting every bit as strong as their debut outing. Warren Haynes' guitar work, if anything, is even more adventurous this time around, particularly effective on the opener "Blind Man in the Dark," "Thelonius Beck," and "Birth of the Mule." ~ Cub Koda

The Allman Brothers Band offshoot Gov't Mule combines the improvisatory aesthetic of jam bands with the heavy-duty blues-rock sensibility of classic power trios like Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Guitarist Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody, the band's founders, were both virtuosic musicians, and when drummer Matt Abts joined in, the circle was complete. Woody died in 2000, and rather than replace him, the band recorded two consecutive albums accompanied by a host of famous guest bassists from every conceivable walk of the musical world.
