Warren is one of the best and most accomplished guitar players of our time. He's also one of the nicest guys in the world. A "few" years ago, I was FOH engineer for David Allan Coe, when Warren was playing lead with him. Spent a lot of time with him, working and goofing off. The best memory I have is when we were sitting on the crew bus kidding around about what we really wanted to do. I said something dumb about drinking beer and chasing girls and he surprised me by saying he was going to play with the Allman Brothers. He was dead serious. I thought that if anyone could, it would be Warren. "And the rest is history!" Great guy. Great musician. I'd love to tell him thanks for the cool memories.

At this time in the tour, there was friction between the two bands. Warren came out to play on the last song and stood behind the Frank Beard. Didn't even go up front. We have a new project called Soul Shine, featuring the music of Warren Haynes. BIG FUN!!

This music - Gov't Mule songs - really is one of the best kept connections to the Glory Days of 70's and 80's Real Rock and the Monster Bands and Talents that dominated the Music scene (before the Music Industry overtook the scene with their branding, marketing, controlling distribution channels, etc). Real Musicianship never gets old. These guys play their tunes in extended form Live - Just like it happened in the 70 - 80's. It works and we love it. Thanks to the Mule for not selling out for the easy money and continue to Rock us today and maintain the Credo of the attitude of Rock and Roll. "We'll do it our way and if you don't like it - DILLIGAF?!"
