First Mule release and it is excellent!
Recording quality may not be as good as later releases such as Deja Voodoo but this disc is raw and rocks hard. It may be my favorite. Get it without question.

Incredible Debut!
On this, their self-titled debut, Gov't Mule prove without a doubt that they're far from a simple "side-project." With more emotion, more blues, and more soul in one guitar lick or one vocal line than the sum of most popular music from the last ten years, Gov't Mule demands to be heard by anyone and everyone who demands more from music and musicians. Cheap, ripped off and repeating riffs don't exist here. Snotty, "I'm too cool to care" vocals cannot be found. What can be found, however, is a band that simply sweats and bleeds emotion into its music.

From the first soulful moments of the a capella "Grinnin' in Your Face," which bleeds right into the gut-wrenching guitar playing of Warren Haynes on "Mother Earth," it's very evident that this is not the same old thing. This album (and all of Mule's work, really) is filled to the brim with great instrumental work, amazingly soulful and powerful vocals, and incredibly potent songwriting. I simply cannot say anything bad about this album.

Excellent CD
A buddy of mine recommended these guys to me during our current tour in Afghanistan. I was looking for some new types of music to enjoy, as I have been exploring PHISH, and TREY ANASTASIO. He told me to try GOV'T MULE for jam bands. I ordered online through Amazon without hearing a note of this band. I received it last week and have not been able to listen to anything else. I absolutely love this CD.
The music is straight forward rock/blues. No BS. My buddy's recommendation was on target. This CD is worth your $$. Go for it!

Government Mule
My friend Vinnie in Germany recommended this band, and I like the CD I ordered. Their sound is definitely hard core rock, great guitar work!
