About This Album
With his ongoing membership in the Allman Brothers Band, Gov't Mule, Phil Lesh & Friends, and the Dead, guitarist/singer Warren Haynes doesn't really have time for a solo career. He did put out a solo album, Tales of Ordinary Madness, in 1993, but his group gigs provide him plenty of opportunities to write and play, and except for a live EP compilation, Lone, in 2003, he hasn't otherwise bothered to issue solo discs. Yet while performing at the 2003 Bonnaroo Festival, he followed a Saturday night set with the Allman Brothers Band with a Sunday afternoon solo set, accompanying himself on acoustic and electric guitar, and here it is on CD. Haynes uses his guitar chording to support his soulful voice on what sounds like a personal, thrown-together set list. There are expected numbers from the Gov't Mule songbook ("In My Life," "Fallen Down," "Tastes Like Wine") as well as a tune from Tales of Ordinary Madness ("I'll Be the One") and songs Haynes wrote for his group activities (the Jerry Garcia tribute "Patchwork Quilt," first recorded by Phil Lesh & Friends, "Soulshine," introduced by the Allman Brothers Band and here performed as a duet with South African singer Vusi Mahlasela).
