Haynes at shredding best with Gov’t Mule at Palace
ALBANY — Nov. 15, 2014 -- For some, Warren Haynes lives in the shadow of the southern-rock guitar greats. For others, he casts his own shadow after years of playing with The Allman Brothers, Gov’t Mule and other projects.The Mule came to the packed Palace on Friday night for its 20 Years Strong tour. A night of Haynes is a night of guitar shredding alongside hefty blues-rock that lies somewhere between Lynyrd Skynyrd and ’80s Allman Brothers. The four-man band played straight and solid throughout the show, enabling Haynes to do his thing out front. Haynes is a no-nonsense, hard-working rocker. For more than 21⁄2 hours, he sang with considerable effort and, rather than using a
rhythm guitarist for support, he carried all the guitar work himself.
