Don't know why, but I really dig this song. Maybe being raised up in the Bible belt coming out. I heard a killer version by Taj Mahal, but can't seem to raise it. Not at all sure the Gov'T Mule version will be an acceptable substitute, but we'll give it a spin. Also a definitive reading by Blind Willie Johnson, followed by Depeche Mode for the simple hell of it. Blind Willie Johnson Depeche Mode P.S. Gov'T Mule is tre acceptable.

just for good measure here is some mo STUFF

OK, I'll admit to some bias, but any group that can play Mongo Santamaria's Afro Blue and Ozzy Osborne's War Pigs in the same live set is my kind of group. But, then, I also love a good vinaigrette salad dressing, so I'm one of those folks who is fascinated by mixing things together that don't seem like they'd go together. Gov't Mule started as side project between then Allman Brothers Band bassist Allen Woody and guitar player Warren Haynes who were joined by drummer M... MORE

love to have more frickin' time in the dayi should come here more often but neglect tohere is a little something i have been diggin lately thenmaybe you to will see the RAWK light Bridging the gap between stoners of all races and creeds, Gov't Mule's "Mighty High," fuses jam-band sprawl, southern-rock crunch and the swaying bob of reggae. It's a lot to cover, and the instant and easy pothead pigeonholing will only belie what amounts to a very serious and very innovat... MORE

Somebody's just posted some new videos from Gov't Mule's The Deepest End: Live in Concert. This one features the Dirty Dozen Brass Band with guests Paul Jackson (who performed on the original recording with Herbie Hancock) and Bernie Worrell. For the audio, I've tagged John the Revelator, which also features the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. This entire show was an amazing concert. They started somewhere around 10:00 PM, and didn't finish until nearly 4:00 AM. Guest bassis... MORE

The Serendipity Gods have lined up for me...finally!Heading to San Francisco for a work thingy, but on the day I arrive, the 10th of November one of my favourite bands are headlining at The Fillmore...Gov't Mule!

Last time I saw them was at the end of the Deep End tour in N'awlins....with m... MORE

I just had to say that the Mule Show on Halloween was by far one of the best shows I've seen. The first set was a great Mule set with a dabble of Grateful Dead (they did The Other One Jam). Then came our Halloween treat for the evening! They pulled off a whole set of Led Zeppelin! Warren and company, along with the help of Audley Freed, played the entire album "Houses Of The Holy" from beginning to end! It was an incredible evening! If you like Mule and Zeppelin this is a ...

For me, the biggest downside to being a music lover (addict, junkie, etc. ) is a missed concert. As if the knowledge that Tom Morello joined Tool at Bonnaroo wasn't bad enough, I just get this email... "This show is flat out why we do MuleTracks. The late-night/early-morning show from Bonnaroo is now available for download. 'Streamline Woman' and 'Brand New Angel' are absolutely thunderous and 'Sweetleaf' and 'War Pigs' leading into 'Soulshine' for a second encore? Ho... MORE

I am not a Southern boy, in fact, I'm not even American. I live North of the border, but there is something about Southern rock that appeals to me. The last time I posted on Mog was in May when I was declaring my sudden and intoxicating fascination with the Drive-By Truckers, another Southern rock band. These past few days I've spent a lot of time listening to Gov't Mule. The band has been around for a long time, but for some reason, I have never heard anything by them. I... MORE
