It’s hard to believe that Gov’t Mule has been together for over 20 years, but the band continues to celebrate their legacy with great original music and energetic performances. Warren Haynes and company recently announced plans to release The Tel-Star Sessions, capturing the band’s first-ever recording session in 1994. Due out on August 5th, Mule fans are eagerly awaiting a chance for a sneak peek into one of Mule’s pivotal moments.
Fortunately, there’s a chance to do that today! After sharing a cover of ZZ Top’s “Just Got Paid” back in May, Mule returns with their version of “Blind Man In The Dark” today! Give the song a spin right here, courtesy of Alternative Nation.
In the premiere article, Haynes talks about the track, saying, “This version represents the song before we changed the key and the drum pattern along with some other things. We also recorded this song for our first LP but didn’t use it. We wound up re-recording (a third time) for our 2nd LP Dose. It was cool to hear where it started as opposed to where it ended up.”
The Tel-Star Sessions is due out August 5th across a variety of formats. Pre-orders are ongoing via Amazon and other services!
