Gov't Mule Heavy Load Blues Limited Vinyl LP

Overview:

"""Woke up singing a dead man's song..."" is the opening line from the Warren Haynes original song/album title, ""Heavy Load Blues,"" a line of imagery that feels like the beginning of dirt. Blues. On this album, Gov't Mule plays blues. Haynes is, of course, the leader of Gov't Mule, hailing from a Southern rock tradition of scruffy virtuosity. Gov't Mule is Warren's show and the blues, is the informing foundation, personal and universal.
Blues is a feeling. Something you know when you hear it. ""Heavy Load Blues"" has Hayne's originals and reinventions of songs by Bobby Bland, Junior Wells, Elmore James and Tom Waits, to name a few. Haynes makes these songs spring to a new life, while paying an homage to the music and culture of the music that has inspired him and his band. Fantasy is proud to present this Warren Haynes/Gov't Mule contribution to the art form, this American soul treasure."
