Editor's note

Gov't Mule started as a side project and kept going.

A blues-rock band built on heavy touring and extended live improvisation.

For a sense of their range, 'Soulshine' and 'Painted Silver Light' frame it pretty well, one a ballad, the other a newer cut from their catalog.

They came out of the Allman Brothers Band in 1994, but carved their own lane with songs that stretch out onstage. 'Soulshine' became a signature slow-burner, while tracks like 'John The Revelator' lean into their riff-heavy side. Their live album 'Live with a Little Help from Our Friends' from 1998 captures that early energy.

Warren Haynes and Allen Woody formed the band after leaving the Allman Brothers. Woody died in 2000, and the lineup has shifted over the years with bassists like Andy Hess and drummers coming and going. They've kept putting out studio albums and live recordings through it all.
