MULE'S PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED FIRST RECORDINGS FROM 1994!
THE TEL-STAR SESSIONS ARE REMIXED & MASTERED
In early summer of 1994, while on break from Allman Brothers work, the original Mule line-up of Warren Haynes, Allen Woody, and Matt Abts assembled at Tel-Star Studios outside Sarasota, Florida, to lay down on tape their vision to exhume the rock power trio – their influences ranging from Cream and Jimi Hendrix Experience to Blue Cheer and ZZ Top.
Says Warren, "Allen Woody had plenty of ideas in that department -- starting with simultaneously bringing back the 'rock bass' sound. Along with our discussions about the 'power trio' being missing from the current musical landscape were the discussions of how the sound of the bass guitar had gotten progressively 'cleaner' since the '80s (or late '70s), and how that affected the overall feeling of the music. So, when we went in to the studio to do our first recording sessions, part of our mission was to capture an old familiar sound as well."
You can order The Tel-Star Sessions on limited splatter vinyl with alternate 'groovy, psychedelic tie-dye' artwork, regular black vinyl and CD. Both vinyl releases include a code for a complimentary MP3 download.
