I saw Gov't Mule last month in SC and they were alone. A great 2.5 hours of jammin' tunes. Matt Abts and Warren Haynes are extremely talented guys and know how to superbly play everything from fusion to metal. You need to see them headline to get a great light and sound experience.
Warren also finds the time to solo and split guitar duties with Dereck Trucks for the Allman Brothers Band. He's another slide wizard to see if he's in your town.
Dereck's last two albums surprise the redneck southern rock types with mostly innovative jazz, south african and latino influences. The recording quality isn't the best, but the playing is.
Now where did I put that bong???
