This guy is amazing. He doesn't noodle, he doesn't slap, he doesn't do solos (that I can recal), but he stands out. He's creative and professional.
It turns out in his days as a session player he did some work w/ Britney Spears................yes, I'm serious.
I was reading an article on Mule that said Gov't Mule is the favorite rock band of many famous rock stars including James Hetfield and Henry Rollins.
Also, I should point out that Warren Haynes is God. His coolness is note-worthy.

The whole thing is pretty good, though.

| Don't get to excited. It was for only one song, and he didn't even met her....He also played with John Schofield, the Black Crows ect....
Anyway, He is one of my favorite Bassist.
there is another thread or two around here too...Do a search on Andy Hess.

| | | | My teacher told me about these guys awhile ago, but i never got into them. Then i saw this thread and i checked out some of their stuff (old and new), and Woody and Hess can just straight out kick it. I am defintally going to start listening to these guys on a regular basis.

Outside of that, I haven't heard any solos in 6 concerts worth of material or two studio albums with Mule. But it was enough to hook me.
