Cherished Mule/Scofield Collaboration on 180g Vinyl Double LP!
Rolling Stone 2015 Readers' Poll: The 10 Best Jam Bands: Gov't Mule. Rated 7th!
Fans of both artists and their respective genres will finally be able to get their hands and ears on a very special release: the long-awaited Sco-Mule album. In late September of 1999, John Scofield teamed with Gov't Mule, then featuring original bass player the late Allen Woody, along with keyboardist Dr. Dan Matrazzo, in Georgia for two legendary shows of mind-bending live prowess, featuring material ranging from Mule and Scofield original compositions, to James Brown covers and songs made legendary by John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter.
No audience or soundboard bootleg recording of these shows exist. But now, for the first time, fans can experience the Sco-Mule mystique first-hand in album form, newly mixed and mastered. This 2.5-hour all-instrumental release is a jazz romp laced with rock, soul & funk, and will be available on a 180g double vinyl set (with a download code for the digital files).
"Of the many shows that Gov't Mule's faithful fans have clamored to have officially released, this is among the most deeply desired...Sco-Mule is high-flying musical collaboration at its very best. Inspired, in the cut, wildly creative, and sprawling, this is the evidence that these cats brought everything to the stage in these shows." -Thom Jurek, allmusic.com
