Gov't Mule is GREAT BLUES ROCK!!, February 21, 2008
Gov't Mule has been lumped into the jam band category, but their music is hardly just noodling solos, half-a*sed melodies and nonsense lyrics. Their albums are cohesive, SOLID, INTENSE, GREAT SONGS! A little jazz influence, too, of course. And they do like to solo--hey, it's Warren Haynes with the Allman Brothers, after all--but their material is heads and shoulders above ANY hard/southern/blues rock band out there today. For a long time I avoided Gov't Mule because I thought they were just a jam band with long, boring, jazzy songs. Boy, was I wrong! DEAD wrong! Get ALL of Gov't Mule albums if you like Skynyrd, the Allmans, Led Zeppelin, Blackfoot, the Black Crowes....you will be KICKING yourself for not discovering this band years ago!!
The only album of theirs I DON'T recommend is their latest--Mighty High. It's nothing but boring, industrial-ish reggae. If you like that kind of music, then fine, you'll probably like it. For me, it was a waste of money. I just hope their next effort is back to the blues rock that they are best known for.
Find the 3-disc version of this release if you can. Two CDs and one very long concert DVD! What a deal!!

Gov't Mule: "The Deepest End"', July 9, 2009
This has got to be one of the finest live performances of Gov't Mule. In every track, both audio and DVD, Warren Haynes delivers BIG. He certainly is one of our very best rock-blues guitarists/composers and in every instace he is accompanied by world class instrumentalists. AND it's great value for money -- over 6 hours of music!

Songs listed are NOT on the Deepest End! , May 20, 2008
The songs listed above here are NOT on the Deepest End! I don't think they are even by Gov't Mule. Never heard of these songs. If you are looking for The Deepest End, Live in Concert, don't choose this selection just in case....
