Georgia Bootleg Box Sampler, The

The Mule was just 2 years old in 1996 during this blazing 3 day run in Athens, Atlanta and Macon. Selections here from the 6 disc set. It’s the late Allen Woody on bass, Matt Abts on drums and Warren Haynes on gtr and vocals. It’s southern r’n’r with a funky undercurrent. For fans of ’70’s r’n’r, heavy jambands, Allman Brothers. FCC #9.

*My Favorites*: 1, 4, 5, 10, 11.

1. *(8:54) Mid. Funky, mean, searing, channeling ’70’s power vibe.
2. (6:00) Mid. A bit heavier, trancey, alternates mellow / loud.
3. (7:19) Mid. More mellow / loud, some nice gtr noodling.
4. *(4:34) Mid. Really funky ‘n’ rockin’, cool cymbal strikes.
5. *(6:57) Mid. Mean-ass gtr, funky bass, drivin’ drums, killer.
6. (6:22) Slow / Mid. Blind Faith classic. Mellow, then rocks out.
7. (6:22) Mid. Heavy gtr, gets jammy.
8. (8:11) Slow / Mid. Mostly mellow mood, jammy w/ bass solo.
9. (7:16) Mid. FCC ‘fuck’. Serious mean rocker.
10. *(5:57) Mid. Tom Waits tune. Trance vibe, killer vcls, gtr.
11. *(11:58) Mid. Mose Allison tune w/ Derek Trucks on gtr. Kick-ass.
