Warren Haynes: Man in Motion

Somehow in the midst of his relentless touring and session playing schedule, Warren Haynes found time to assemble an almost unbelievable band and record what sounds like a modern blues rock classic.

Here's a video in which you can hear Warren discussing how this album came together. It sounds terrific, and based on my experience with Warren (Allman Brothers, Govt Mule), it's assured that the guitar and vocals will be great. The cast he has assembled boasts unassailable credentials in rock, soul and blues... Ian McLagan (Faces, Rolling Stones), George Porter, Jr. on bass and Ivan Neville on keyboards (The Meters), Raymond Weber of Dirty Dozen Brass Band on drums, blues singer Ruthie Foster (who previously guested on Govt Mule's The Deep End) and tenor saxist Ron Holloway.

And finally, here's a live performance of the title track from a concert in December when Warren unveiled it:
