Title: Dark & Deep, but that's OK
Product review: I got Gov't Mule's first cd on the recommendation of a friend, without ever hearing anything they've done. This trio defies classification, I wouldn't necessarily call what they play the blues. I could almost swear I hear licks by Clapton, Hendrix, slide by Joe Walsh, old Lynyrd Skynyrd, even some Al Stewart or Justin Hayward acoustic, and of course echoes of Duane and Dickie -- no surprise that the Allman Bros picked Warren to play guitar for them -- but it's all one virtuoso of a guy. I didn't have to look at the liner notes to hear the harp-player from Blues Traveler (Mule). Some pretty raw stuff here -- I've been the title character of Temporary Saint and it was almost agonizing to listen to. But this is what good music is supposed to do, like good art: move you to experience pain or pleasure. I'm going to proceed onward and check out their next albums, and work my way up to the present day.Note: I'm up to Deja Voodoo now, which is awesome.......
