<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-top:.1pt">With the New Year will come a very special release that will thrill Mule fans - the long-awaited
<b>SCO-MULE</b> album, due for release in <b>January 2015. </b>In late September of 1999,
<b>John Scofield</b> teamed with <b>Gov’t Mule</b>, then featuring original bass player the late Allen Woody,<span style="color:#262626"> along with keyboardist Dr. Dan Matrazzo,
</span>in Georgia for two legendary shows of mind-bending live prowess. Both shows were recorded and included the Mule’s first-ever all-instrumental sets. The band had begun preparing the music for eventual release while working on their third studio album
<i>Life Before Insanity</i>. However, less than a year later, their beloved bassist Allen Woody passed away, setting the Mule on a different path. The idea of releasing
<i>SCO-MULE</i> came up over the years, but the timing was never as right as it is now – helping to mark
<b>Gov’t Mule’s 20<sup>th</sup> Anniversary</b>. While Scofield and the Mule did reunite briefly for a set at Warren Haynes’ 25<sup>th</sup> Annual Christmas Jam in December 2013, fans have been clamoring for the return of the project ever since those lauded
1999 shows, and for more than a decade the Mule have been eager to share the music from these shows through an LP. Now for the first time, fans can experience the
<b><i>SCO-MULE</i></b> magic first-hand in album form, newly mixed and mastered. The 3-hour all-instrumental album is a jazz romp laced with rock riffs and will be available as a 2-CD set as well as a double vinyl.
