Review
Gov't Mule consists of Warren Haynes, Allen Woody and
Matt Abts, veteran members of the legendary Allman Brothers
band. They live off the Allmans' fame but form their
own style of music. Watching them live is like seeing
a Grateful Dead concert jamming with the Allmans. Their
range of music stems from traditional rock to blues
("Look on Yonder Wall") to funky jazz ("Afro
Blues"). There's nothing Mule doesn't play and
when they play, they play it to the fullest. This is
a real LIVE band and they improvise on ALL of their
songs. That's why each song lasts for 20 minutes long.
This is an exceptional live show and the highlight is
the introduction of Chuck Leavell (Eric Clapton's "unplugged"
pianist) and Derek Trucks, who himself is an exceptional
blues guitarist. What a jam!
