Our Take

Get ready to saddle up and ride the blues train with the latest offering from GOVT MULE - "Heavy Load Blues." This album is a gritty, hard-hitting exploration of the classic blues sound, infused with the band's signature southern rock edge.

From the opening track, "Rollin' Stone," you're hit with a wave of raw, unadulterated blues energy. Warren Haynes' gravelly vocals and searing guitar work drive the album forward, while Matt Abts' thunderous drumming keeps the beat steady and relentless.

Tracks like "Mean Town Blues" and "Shake Your Money Maker" showcase the band's ability to take classic blues tunes and inject them with a modern, electrifying twist. Haynes' blistering guitar solos are a highlight throughout the album, adding a fiery intensity to each track.

But it's not all high-octane energy on "Heavy Load Blues." The band also shows their softer side on tracks like "Sweet Feeling" and "Soulshine," slowing things down and allowing Haynes' soulful vocals to take center stage.

Overall, "Heavy Load Blues" is a powerful homage to the blues greats of the past, with a modern twist that sets GOVT MULE apart from their peers. So grab a bottle of whisky, crank up the volume, and let the blues wash over you - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Gov't Mule

Formed in 1994 by the one and only Warren Haynes and Allen Woody, this band has been serving up a delicious concoction of blues, rock, and jam band goodness for over two decades now. With Haynes' soulful vocals and insane guitar skills leading the charge, GOVT MULE has carved out a niche for themselves in the ever-changing landscape of music. And let's not forget about the rhythm section, with Matt Abts laying down the beats and Jorgen Carlsson on bass duties, these guys are a well-oiled machine when it comes to live performances. Their discography is a testament to their versatility and creativity, from their hard-hitting debut album "Gov't Mule" to the more experimental sounds of "The Deep End" series. Not to mention their blistering live shows that have garnered them a loyal fan base all around the world. But what sets GOVT MULE apart from the rest? Is it their uncanny ability to blend different genres seamlessly? Or maybe it's their penchant for epic, extended jams that leave audiences in a state of euphoria?

So if you're looking for some good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll with a side of Southern charm, look no further than GOVT MULE. Just be prepared to get lost in their music and never want to come back.
