REVIEW
by Thom Jurek
Vol. 1 of Warren Haynes' Christmas Jam Benefit Concert from 1999 hits the streets a month after Vol. 2, but whatever. Issued on Haynes' Evil Teen label, this is one star-studded effort, featuring Haynes, the late Allen Woody, and Matt Abts of Gov't Mule; Edwin McCain (with and without Haynes); the Derek Trucks Band (with special guests like Col. Bruce Hampton, Jimmy Herring, and Trucks' wife, guitar slinger Susan Tedeschi); and Tedeschi and her own band. There's the jam band Cry of Love, and, of course, Gov't Mule, as a trio and with Hampton, bluesmen Larry McCray, Little Milton (RIP), Mike Barnes, Herring, and Yonrico Scott. It's a good time, to be sure. Vol. 1 fares better across two CDs because of a continuity in sets. There's more of everyone here: Trucks and his band play nearly a full set, as do the Mule, McCain gets three numbers and Tedeschi does her "Angel from Montgomery" read, and it's stunning here. Willie Dixon's "Spoonful" by the Mule with Hampton and Johnny Neel is another highlight, as is the Trucks Band's version of "Rastaman Chant" and (with Tedeschi) "Just Won't Burn." McCain's "Alive" with Haynes is another winner for warming up the crowd as well. For fans of Gov't Mule, Haynes, Trucks, or any of the above, this is a nifty little gig to be spinning during party hours. [Released in 2000 also on Haynes' Evil Teen label, the double-CD set Wintertime Blues: The Benefit Concert features a track listing identical to Benefit Concert, Vol. 1, aside from the latter release's replacement of "It Hurts Me Too" for the 15-plus-minute version of "Merry Christmas, Baby" by Gov't Mule heard on Wintertime Blues.]
BIOGRAPHY
by Mark Deming
Warren Haynes is a generation-spanning guitar hero; he wasn't out of grade school when some of his best-known collaborators were at the peak of their fame, but he's earned a powerful reputation for his fiery guitar work, steeped in blues and Southern rock traditions, and has distinguished himself as a songwriter, bandleader, and solo artist as well as a gifted sideman. Haynes was born in Asheville, North Carolina on April 9, 1960, and he developed a taste for soul and R&B at an early age from older brothers who listened to Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, and Smokey Robinson, while young Warren would spend hours singing along with their records. When he was 12, Haynes got his first guitar, and by 14 he was playing parties and sitting in with the house band at a local pizza parlor. Haynes became a serious Eric Clapton fan, and studying his work led him deeper into the classic blues sounds that influenced the British guitar hero.
In his late teens, after short stays in a number of local bands, Haynes landed a gig with a group called Ricochet, and began playing North Carolina clubs on a regular basis. One evening, Mickey Hayes, who played bass for outlaw country star David Allan Coe, caught Ricochet and was impressed with the band's lead guitarist, and when Coe's guitarist dropped out of the group shortly afterwards, Hayes recommended Haynes for the gig. Haynes played with Coe from 1980 to 1984, touring frequently and appearing on three of Coe's albums, before Haynes moved on to a band of his own, Rich Hippies, with Hayes on bass.
After a short spell with blues journeymen the Nighthawks, in 1988 Haynes was invited to join the band of former Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts, who had met Haynes through their mutual friend Coe; Haynes appeared on Betts' album Pattern Disruptive. In 1989, Betts and Gregg Allman re-formed the Allman Brothers Band, and Haynes was brought aboard as their guitarist. Haynes spent eight years touring and recording with the Allman Brothers, and in 1991 formed the first edition of the Warren Haynes Band to play gigs during his time off from the Allmans; in 1993 Haynes also cut his first solo album, Tales of Ordinary Madness, which was produced by Chuck Leavell. Haynes had also been working on his songwriting, which brought him a solid payday in 1990 when Garth Brooks had a hit single with a tune Haynes co-wrote, "Two of a Kind, Working on a Full House."
In 1994, Haynes broke up the Warren Haynes Band and formed Gov't Mule, a power trio featuring Allman Brothers bassist Allen Woody and drummer Matt Abts; they released their self-titled debut album in 1995. In 1997, Haynes left the Allman Brothers to make Gov't Mule his first priority, but the trio was sidelined in 2000 by the death of Allen Woody, and Haynes soon rejoined the Allman Brothers Band. For a while, Haynes and Abts kept Gov't Mule going as a two-piece, playing acoustic shows in duo format and recording a pair of albums, 2001's The Deep End, Vol. 1 and 2002's The Deep End, Vol. 2, in which a variety of well-known bassists and guest artists sat in with Haynes and Abts. In 2003, Gov't Mule once again had a steady lineup as bassist Andy Hess and keyboardist Danny Louis joined the group.
Meanwhile, in between dates with the Allmans and Gov't Mule, Haynes had been playing with Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh in his solo group Phil Lesh & Friends, and in 2004, when the surviving members of the Grateful Dead began touring as the Dead, Haynes was recruited to play guitar on their first road trip; he was brought back for the Dead's 2009 tour. Haynes also re-formed the Warren Haynes Band for various one-off shows, and Gov't Mule continued on with bassist Jorgen Carlsson after Andy Hess left the band. During his downtime from the Allman Brothers and Gov't Mule, Haynes kept busy playing on-stage and in the studio with a remarkable variety of artists, from Blues Traveler and Dave Matthews to Son Seals and John Mayall (and even guesting on a Corrosion of Conformity session). In 2011, Haynes looked back at his roots in Southern soul with his album Man in Motion, recorded for the reactivated Stax label and featuring accompaniment from Ian McLagan, Ivan Neville, and George Porter, Jr. This was followed by a triple-disc (two-CD-plus-DVD) Live at the Moody Theater in 2012.
