Warren Haynes of Gov’t Mule and the album, Heavy Load Blues

Episode 13 features Warren Haynes, who has contributed to some of the most incredible music ever made. His ever inventive and unique touch has been felt with bands like The Allman Brothers Band, The Dead, and of course the music he's created with Gov't Mule. I invited him on the show to discuss their new album Heavy Load Blues, which is more of a traditional blues album and features a number of interesting and magical elements.

They recorded closer to Warrens home which allowed for him to bring out a number of period correct instruments and amps for each song that they covered. They recorded the album live, straight to tape, and all in one room to capture the magic that happens while playing with and along side your band mates. They also tried to get the songs nailed in as few takes as possible and that live spirit shines through on each of the tracks.

They will be kicking off spring, April 6th, 2022 to be precise, with a headlining tour across the United States and hopefully releasing the second Mule album that they recorded simultaneously as Heavy Load Blues.
