Gov't Mule is an American rock band formed in 1994 by Warren Haynes and Allen Woody. Known for blues-rooted songwriting and expansive live improvisation, the group built a reputation as a jam-oriented Southern/blues-rock outfit. Allen Woody died in 2000; Warren Haynes has remained the band's central figure.

Formed as a side project by members of the Allman Brothers Band, Gov't Mule are noted for long live jams, numerous guest collaborations and tribute-driven projects (e.g., The Deep End albums recorded after Allen Woody's death). Warren Haynes was a longtime member of the Allman Brothers Band.

DeBaser reviews portray Gov't Mule as a blues-rooted, improvisational rock band led by Warren Haynes. The band is celebrated for their live jams and covers, and albums like Deja Voodoo and The Deep End, Volume 1. Allen Woody's death and the subsequent Deep End recordings are recurrent subjects. Reviewers praise both studio songwriting and expansive live performances.

 Gov't Mule, even if not suitable for all ears, deserve a bit more than they have received so far, often relegated to second-tier by clone groups of the great seventies bands that manage to offer little or nothing original in their music.

 In conclusion, a great concert, a great performance by the Mules for what I consider to be one of the greatest live albums in the history of music.
