With
2 million paid song downloads through their site MuleTracks, seven
critically acclaimed studio records already released, a handful of DVDs
and live albums, plus an ever-expanding fan base and sold-out
coast-to-coast tours, Gov't Mule could easily rest on its laurels. Yet
when you're in one of the hardest working bands in rock history, pushing
yourself to greater heights always supersedes cashing in on past
successes.

| Warren Haynes of Gov't Mule |
For
guitarist/lead vocalist Warren Haynes and his band, Gov't Mule,
creating a new album is akin to walking a tightrope: Write new songs
that please old fans, while hopefully garnering new ones. Develop that
material in the studio rather than on the road, to prevent premature
leaks via the internet. Celebrate the roots of American music, yet take
sonic forays into the future. Honor the memory of the late Allen Woody,
while simultaneously welcoming new bassist Jorgen Carlsson into the
fold.
With
By A Thread, Gov't Mule's last release and first studio album in three
years, recorded at Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studio in the Texas Hill
Country, the band – which also features drummer Matt Abts and
multi-instrumentalist Danny Louis – meets those challenges and more.
"It
feels like we're moving forward and backward at the same time," Haynes
notes. "Hardcore fans tend to not want us to move too far away from
where we started, but the band never wants to stay in one place for very
long."
Haynes
is also a member of the Dead and the Allman Brothers Band and one of
Rolling Stones' Top 25 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.

“I’m in the promised land,” says proud American immigrant and Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/guitarist Anders Osborne.
The Swedish-born, longtime New Orleans resident is among the most
original and visionary musicians performing today. In a city overflowing
with stellar artists, bands and performers, Osborne is one of the Big
Easy’s favorite musical heroes. His Alligator Records debut, American
Patchwork, is a moving collection of soul-baring rock, blues and
ballads. Many of the songs on American Patchwork deal with healing and
redemption, spirituality and acceptance. It is about rebuilding what has
been destroyed, not only a ravaged city, but also a hollow man. Often
compared to Townes Van Zandt, Bruce Springsteen and Van Morrison,
Osborne is an exceptional and singular talent. Paste Magazine says,
“Osborne has an impossibly great, soulful voice and the songs to match.”
Living Blues adds, “Osborne is a songwriter of enormous depth and an
incredibly passionate musician.”
