The Deep End, Vol. 1

The Deep End, Vol. 1

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The first of a two-volume set, The Deep End stands as both Gov't Mule's fourth studio album and as a tribute to their late bass player, Allen Woody, who died accidentally in August 2000. To rise above the tragedy, remaining members Warren Haynes and Matt Abts ambitiously--and brilliantly-- recorded each track with a different bass player and guest vocalist or guitarist, many of them favorites of Woody's and all renowned throughout the music world. Cream's Jack Bruce, Bootsy Collins, the Who's John Entwistle, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Deep Purple's Roger Glover, and Larry Graham of Graham Central Station are among those lending a hand--and there are hints of an equally impressive guest roster for Vol. 2.

Gov't Mule elected to continue as a four-piece with the addition of a full-time keyboardist, and the material on The Deep End serves as a great introduction to this new direction. While most tracks are reminiscent of their three previous studio outings, many also take advantage of the expanded instrumental arsenal to stretch out a bit, particularly on "Down and Out in New York City," with its jazzy stylings, and "Sco-Mule," with its classic Santana-esque delivery. Through it all, the distinctive and powerful vocals, guitar playing, and songwriting of the ridiculously talented Haynes ensures that the end result is a cohesive collection of material that will delight fans while bringing many new admirers on board. --Eric Wilson

5 out of 5 stars Best Mule CD!.......2007-06-20

If you like Gov't Mule you gotta own this CD. In my humble opinion this is the best studio record they have done to date.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2007-01-06

Never heard of the band before 2004 (I am Major Tom, who David Bowie was calling Ground Cotrol to, in SPACE). A co-worker of mine introduced me to them and I held on to the cd for a month. The many grooves of Bluesy rock, Funk, Rock is perfect. Down and Out In New York City is a GREAT track (RIP Godfather of Soul, James Brown). Along with the many bassist here, they all put it down perfectly. Come on, John Entwistle, LARRY GRAHAM, FLEA?! Warren and Matt are Great musicians.

5 out of 5 stars The Blues Lives On with Gov't Mule.......2006-06-16

I'm not going to be able to say anything more than all the other reviewer's have already said about this great Blues/Rock Masterpiece. Suffice it to say, it is absolutely a fabulously great collection of songs and musicianship all in one place.

It is also a quite diverse. Some really slow blues, intrumentals, blues rockers, even some tracks with horn sections! It is NOT repeatitive or boringly predictable (as someone thought). The addition of all the great guest musicians just adds to the diversity of the songs. Slightly different styles, different lead vocals, and lot's of "favorite" guitar players, bass players and keyboardist. It is simply a great cd that is highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for.......2006-03-09

I bought the CD, because I'm dancing to Soul Shine with my father at my wedding this summer and I needed a good version of the song. I'm not a HUGE Gov't Mule fan, but the CD is pretty good.

5 out of 5 stars A brilliant idea.......2006-03-09

You couldn't blame the band for choosing any one of 2 different paths after the untimely death of Allen Woody: they could have simply broken up or chosen to soldier on with a single replacement bassist (and I'm sure that would have been a fine effort). The 3rd - and most unlikely choice - is the path they decided to venture down.

Instead of a single replacement bassist they opened up the studio doors for some of the most respected talent in the business. The result is added to vibrance to what are already great songs.

I bought this before the added live disc (I just might have to make another purchase) but the studio only disc still gets 5+ stars.
