GOV’T MULE TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM

      June 10, 2013 - New York, NY - Blue Note Records has signed legendary rock band Gov’t Mule will release Shout! – the group’s first studio album in four years – on September 24. And in an unprecedented twist and gift to their fans, a special bonus CD will also be included, which includes the 11 tracks from the album but in different versions with each one sung by a different world class special guest and friend of the band. Further details will be announced shortly, but see below for a track listing of Disc 1.

      Gov’t Mule – co-founded by Warren Haynes with drummer Matt Abts and featuring keyboardist Danny Louis and bassist Jorgen Carlsson – has released nine critically acclaimed studio albums and an assortment of DVDs and live albums. The band has sold more than three million song downloads through their site MuleTracks.

      Gov’t Mule recently kicked off its “Prepare To Shout Tour,” which will continue through the summer. They will perform at Mountain Jam (June 6-9), which Haynes has presented over the last nine years, and at Bonnaroo (June 15).  In addition, Haynes will be involved with two other tours. The Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration Featuring Warren Haynes is a groundbreaking orchestral adventure – curated by the Garcia family and Haynes – that will feature the musical icon’s storied original compositions as well as classic interpretations of timeless standards that were hallmarks of Garcia and the Grateful Dead's shows. The outing will pair Haynes with some of the country’s most respected symphonies, while a band assembled especially for the tour will also accompany Haynes at all eight concerts. Haynes worked with a handpicked team – Steve Bernstein, Sean O'Laughlin and Chris Walden – to arrange the material, which will also include a few of his own songs. For more information, click here. In August and September, Haynes will be touring with the Allman Brothers Band, which he has been a member of since 1989.
