Gov't Mule's Warren Haynes says that the title of the band's new album Peace... Like A River was, in some ways, a surprise to him.
Gov’t Mule’s “Peace … Like a River” came out June 16 via Fantasy Records. The band performs at SPAC on July 28. Pick up tickets when you support WEXT. Click here, or the donate button above.
The record follows the band’s first-ever blues album, the Grammy-nominated “Heavy Load Blues,” but was recorded at the same time. Working in two adjacent studios, the group set up for the distinctly different songs that they’d prepared for each release.
Working during day, the band tracked the material that would become “Peace … Like a River,” then returned in the evening to cut “Heavy Load Blues.” In both cases, the results were records that touched on familiar sounds for Gov’t Mule.
