When the Allman Brothers Band reformed in 1989 in response to the popularity of the Dreams box set, Warren Haynes was added on lead guitar and Allen Woody was added on bass.Haynes, Woody, and former Dickey Betts drummer Matt Abts came together as Gov't Mule during Allman Brothers' breaks.They released their debut album Gov't Mule in 1995.It was followed by Live from Roseland Ballroom.Gov't Mule in 1997.Funkadelic for their 1998 New Year's Eve concert.This was released in both a two and four CD version as Live ...With A Little Help From Our Friends.Many thought that this would be Gov't Mule's breakthrough CD.The Allman Brothers, The Black Crowes, Phil Lesh and Friends, Jimmy Herring, Edwin McCain and other friends of Woody and Gov't Mule also performed at the concert.Innocent Criminals as an homage to Woody.The tour was named "Smile at Half Mast Tour" in reference to a poem Haynes wrote for Woody's funeral.With Dickey Betts' departure from the Allmans, Warren came back full time to the band at the beginning of 2001 and has continued splitting his time between the Allmans, Gov't Mule and for a period Phil Lesh and Friends and the reformed Dead.These sessions resulted in two CDs The Deep End, Volume 1 (2001) and The Deep End, Volume 2 (2002).Bass contributions to the CDs came from Jack Bruce of Cream, John Entwisle of The Who, Mike Watt of Minutemen, Les Claypool of Primus, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Chris Squire of Yes among others.When it came to touring in support of the Deep End CDs, Haynes and Abts used a revolving door of keyboardists and bassists.The Meters, Greg Rzab formerly of The Black Crowes and the Buddy Guy Band, and Andy Hess, also formerly of The Black Crowes.Louis and Hess were eventually named as permanent members of Gov't Mule.Gov't Mule continues to tour extensively and have become staple acts at many music festivals including Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, Mountain Jam, Vegoose, and their annual New Orleans Jazzfest night show (where they filmed and recorded the last show of the Deepest End tours, with 17 guest musicians in a 6 hour show).Love, Bruce Hornsby and Peter Frampton among others.Gov't Mule headlined both nights.Discography
