Posted December 16, 2014 by Floydian Slip

Yesterday Govn’t Mule released “Dark Side of the Mule,” an album of Pink Floyd covers.

Recorded Oct. 31, 2008, at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston, Mass., the album includes 90 minutes of music.

“Dark Side of the Mule” is the second in a series of live archival releases from the band, following last month’s “Stoned Side of the Mule: Vol. 1,” a collection of music by The Rolling Stones.

The album’s available in three configurations: a standard version, single CD; a deluxe version, three CDs and one DVD package of the entire three-hour performance; and a double vinyl version. All configurations feature audio newly-mixed and mastered.

Govn’t Mule is a Southern rock jam band, formed in 1994 by guitarist Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody as a side project of The Allman Brothers Band.

The group’s on tour through mid-January.
