Gov’t Mule always rocks the House of Blues – be it in New Jersey, Florida, Illinois or even Dallas, Texas where the band found themselves last Thursday evening. The House of Blues bears a certain weight, a certain tradition of bluesmen past that modern blues greats like Warren Haynes can channels and revel in.
What better place for Gov’t Mule to flex their blues muscle and show off their new and improved rhythm section featuring Jorgen Carlsson on bass. The new Mule lineup has really gelled over the course of 2009 into 2010 and the band is back to playing with that utmost confidence and precision, the way only Mule can. Last Thursday’s show was no exception, the band is on, the setlist is hot, and the blues runs deep. Setlist, downloads, and vids below…

The bass player for Gov’t Mule is Jorgen Carlsson. Jorma Kaukonen is a rather renowned guitarist who has played with the Jefferson Airplane and currently has a band called Hot Tuna. He also has a place called the Fur Peace Ranch which is a wonderful ranch in Meigs County Ohio where workshops for musicians are held. Check it out. http://www.furpeaceranch.com/about.html
