Album Review: "High and Mighty" by Government Mule (2006)


Allman Brothers Band guitarist Warren Haynes' side project, Government Mule, has released an excellent collection here, co-produced by Big Sugar's Gordie Johnson. There are hints of Marley, Sabbath, Purple and Neil Young all throughout this disc with some of the most soulful singing I've heard in quite some time. Never derivative or tedious, this is one for those who believe that blues-based riffage can indeed be described as art.

The best-kept secret in all of rock n' roll.

Overall rating: 8.5/10

Thanks Greenchief. I just read about this site today while sitting in the doctor's office, actually.
