Thanks Talkbass for leading me to Gov't Mule

[Planet Boulder]

If you're looking for any jam-related bands (not just southern-sounding), I recommend the following:

Phish
moe.
Phil Lesh & Friends
Particle
Umphrey's McGee
Psychedelic Breakfast
String Cheese Incident
Disco Biscuits
The Big Wu
Garaj Mahal
Moses Guest
New Monsoon


There are God knows how many more...

[MTD4ME]

I saw the rising low vid but I heard they also have a concert with a lot of the bassists from it. Is there a tape of this? if so, whats it called? Thanks

It's called The Deepest End, two cd's and a three hour DVD. Six hours of pure heaven!!! It only runs about 22 bucks

[Floating teetH]

The Grateful Dead

Chris Robinson's New Earth Mud is also very killer. They opened up for Gov't Mule a bunch, excellent band from the ground up and they play all kinds of awesome covers.

Ahhhh, what to say of the Mule.

I love Gov't Mule. My dad bought me the Rising Low DVD randomly one day. I watched it and was amazed. I have acouple cd's now, and always find myself going back to them. My jam buddies and i seem to really be able to groove on Mule stuff compared to most other songs. If you really want to get some good footage of Gov't Mule i recommend the Deepest End (i think) double cd with the concert dvd. That show was amazing, sooooo many great bassplayers. everyone from Jason Newstead to Victor Wooten.

My Rising Low DVD, CD (4 disc version ) Little Help from . . . and Warren Haynes at Bonaroo arrived today. Its going to be a good week of listening and watching.

Speaking of jam bands, does anyone here plan on attending the annual Christmas Jam in Asheville, NC? I am not sure if the whole band (Kevn Kinney's Sun Tangled Angel Revival) will be there but Kevn Kinney will definitely be playing. I know Gov't Mule is playing this year. I will difinitely be in attendance and hopefully I might get to play a few tunes.

[The Mule]

I love The Mule because they converted me to the bass (that explains my nick), especially The Deep End volume I + II. After those I got myself the 'Rising Low' DVD, the first two albums of which 'Dose' is my absolute favourite and finally the Deepest End set is wonderful too. I still have to check out the new album, having read some mixed reviews I might end up not buying it actually...

[slackdaddy]

I finally got to see them live here in Athens, GA a few weeks ago. Sounded great. I am definitely looking forward to the Christmas Jam!

[slackdaddy]

I can't believe I was able to play 3 songs with these folks:

Kevn Kinney (Drivin N Cryin/STAR) - Guitar/vocals
Alvin Youngblood Hart - Guitar/vocals
Audley Freed (Black Crowes) - Guitar
Stanton Moore (Galactic) - Drums
Ivan Neville (Neville Brothers) - Organ
John Popper (Blues Traveler) - Harmonica
and me, Bryan J. Howard (Slackdaddy/Kevn Kinney's S.T.A.R) on Bass!


The show was fun and will be rebroadcast NYE on WNCW out of Spindale, NC. This event was the night before Warren Haynes 16th annual Christmas Jam

Other folks who played that night were:
Jorma Koukanen
Warren Haynes & Gov't Mule
Living Colour
Neville Brothers
Galactic

What a night it was!
