Heavy Load Blues is the twelfth studio album by American four-piece jam band Gov't Mule. It was released on November 12, 2021, via Fantasy Records, marking the band's second full-length for the label. Produced by member Warren Haynes alongside John Paterno, the album encompasses a mix of original songs and revered covers in a traditional blues sound. The album is dedicated to Paul Koch.

At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, the album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album, but lost to Get on Board.

Background

[edit]

According to the band's co-founder Warren Haynes, he brooded the idea of making a blues album for years. Having written songs during the COVID-19 lockdowns, he was unsure whether to go solo or record with the band, wondering if the rest of Gov't Mule would be receptive into it. While talking to the band's manager Stefanie Scamardo about their next album, however, she suggested they make blues and when the quartet agreed to the idea, there was one more stipulation: the band had to record two albums simultaneously.[1][2]

The recording sessions took place in two adjoining rooms at the studio at the Power Station New England in Waterford, with each room set up differently. The room for the blues album had lower ceilings, a smaller drum kit, vintage equipment, guitars and amplifiers, and recorded directly to analog tape to capture an authentic sound. The band dedicated their night time to live tracking of a blues album, while being busy during the day working on the consistent Gov't Mule album (eventually titled Peace... Like a River and released in 2023).[2]

Their version of Howlin' Wolf's "I Asked Her For Water", which Haynes says is the most different from the original and set the tone for the entire project, was recorded first and in one take.[1] "Heavy Load" was recorded last.[3] Haynes cited Elmore James, Junior Wells, Bobby Bland, Tom Waits and Howlin' Wolf as the main inspiration behind the album.[1]

On September 8, 2021, the band announced the release of their upcoming album entitled Heavy Load Blues for November 21, 2021, dubbing it their "first-ever blues album", and also shared a full track list, cover artwork, tour dates and the song "Heavy Load" from the LP.[3]

Heavy Load Blues was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 84 based on four reviews.[4]

Michael Elliott of PopMatters praised the album, calling it "a soul-baring journey of the blues, mainly through the lens of soul and hard rock, in all its complexity, beauty, darkness, and glory", he added, "Gov't Mule is at their best when they plug in, reach back to their roots, and dig deep into their soul".[7] AllMusic's Thom Jurek described the album as "raw, heavy, and immediate, the sound of a band unfettered while pursuing a deep blue groove that never quits".[5] In her mixed review for Classic Rock, Emma Johnston wrote: "while it does start to get a little repetitive, it's good to hear a band straying off the beaten track too play timeless music just for the sheer hell of it".[6]

A deluxe edition with eight additional tracks was released digitally in April 2022.

Background and development

Conception

The conception of Heavy Load Blues emerged during the 2020 , when frontman , reflecting on years of contemplating a dedicated , found the isolation conducive to creative planning. With touring halted, Haynes drew inspiration from the global mood of , viewing the as an opportune moment to channel traditions into a full-length . He noted, “I’ve been thinking about doing an like this for a very long time… what better time than now after the ?” Haynes initially envisioned the album as a potential solo endeavor but ultimately decided to involve the full Gov't Mule lineup—comprising Haynes on guitar and vocals, Danny Louis on keyboards, Jorgen Carlsson on bass, and Matt Abts on drums—to infuse it with the band's collective energy. This shift was encouraged by Haynes' wife and manager, Stefani Scamardo, who suggested pursuing a blues-focused release amid the downtime, marking Gov't Mule's first such album in their discography. The album serves as a dedication to the late Paul Koch, a longtime friend and supporter of Gov't Mule, reflecting the personal losses and reflections of the era. To maximize limited studio access during restrictions, the band recorded Heavy Load Blues alongside sessions for their subsequent album Peace... Like a River (released in 2023), setting up parallel rigs to efficiently capture material for both projects.

Song selection

For the album Heavy Load Blues, opted for a selection of seven original compositions and six cover songs, drawing from a repertoire that spanned traditional roots and the band's signature jam-oriented approach. Originals such as "," "Heavy Load," "," "Love Is a Mean Old World," "Smile At The Mention," "Drawn That Way," and "Black Horizon" were newly penned or revisited by frontman , while the covers paid homage to blues icons including Elmore James's "Blues Before Sunrise," Junior Wells's "Snatch It Back and Hold It," Howlin' Wolf's "I Asked for Water (She Gave Me Gasoline)," Bobby Bland's "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City," Tom Waits's "Make It Rain," and a cover of "Brother Bill (Last Clean Shirt)," originally by The Honeyman and co-written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, and Charles Otis. This curation process emphasized tracks that lent themselves to extended , allowing the band's live-in-the-studio sessions to incorporate psychedelic jams and spontaneous interplay, as seen in the medley-like extension of Wells's tune. Haynes's selections were deeply informed by his personal ties to blues history, particularly through his tenure with and collaborations with guitarist , which exposed him to foundational influences like Otis, a mentor to Allman Brothers drummer Jaimoe Johansson. Rather than revisiting heavily trafficked standards from artists like or —which the band had covered previously—Haynes prioritized lesser-known or personally resonant pieces, such as the obscure track and Otis's overlooked gem, to honor underrepresented corners of the blues canon while aligning with Gov't Mule's exploratory . This project emerged amid the pandemic's downtime, which afforded Haynes the opportunity to delve into these choices without the constraints of touring. The resulting tracklist thus bridged authentic with the band's improvisational flair, fostering a collection that felt both reverent and innovative.

The dual-room setup facilitated this cross-pollination without compromising the distinct blues-oriented focus of the material, resulting in an album that felt both collaborative and cohesive.

Technical aspects

The production of Heavy Load Blues utilized analog tape recording to emulate the raw, authentic sound of blues albums from the mid-20th century.

Little Devil preamp into a LA-3A , often blending the signal with a for added and presence, using a Lauten Audio LS-208 selected for its tube-driven depth and rejection properties.
