Since the news came out that Gov't Mule—the power trio that began as a part-time side project for then-Allman Brothers Band guitarist/singer Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody but which, along with drummer Matt Abts, was so well-received that the southern-roots jam band ultimately took on an unexpected life of its own—was finally releasing Sco-Mule, a collaboration with broad-minded jazz guitarist John Scofield, there's been plenty of speculation and anticipation.

Relix Magazine Review: Dark Side of the Mule & Stoned Side of the Mule: Vol. 1
When one artist covers another artist, particularly on some fairly seminal works, there are two schools of thought.
