Notes
“Woke up singing a dead man’s song…” is the opening line from the Warren Haynes original “Heavy Load,” a line of imagery that feels like the beginning of dirt. On this album, the iconic American band puts their unique stamp on a collection of Blues covers & originals. Haynes, the leader of Gov’t Mule, hails from a Southern rock tradition of scruffy virtuosity. Gov’t Mule is his show, and the Blues is the informing foundation, personal & universal. Deluxe CD w/ alternate cover & 8 extra tracks.
