Gov’t Mule (pronounced “Government Mule”) is an American Southern rock jam band, formed in 1994 by guitarist Warren Haynes, bassist Allen Woody (both of The Allman Brothers Band at the time) and drummer Matt Abts (whom Haynes had worked with in the Dickey Betts Band.) The band released their debut album, Gov’t Mule in 1995, and have since released nine studio albums, plus numerous EPs and live releases. When the Allman Brothers Band reformed in 1989, partially in response to the popularity of their Dreams box set, Warren Haynes was added as a permanent lead guitarist and vocalist, and Allen Woody was recruited as bass guitarist. The two shared a love for 1960s power trios like Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the James Gang, and Mountain.[1][2] Haynes, Woody, and drummer Matt Abts, who played with Haynes in Dickey Betts’ band, came together as Gov’t Mule during Allman Brothers breaks. They released their debut album, Gov’t Mule, produced by Michael Barbiero, in 1995. Live at Roseland Ballroom was released in 1996, consisting of their 1995 New Year’s Eve set opening for Blues Traveler.
