Customer Rating:      Summary: Mighty Good Music!! Comment: I'm a big Mule and Reggae Fan.. This is some Fantastic Music!! Andy Hess's Bass playing is well worth the Cost of this CD alone. " Play with Fire" is Smokin'!!
It's good to see the Mule experimenting outside of their normal Power Blues/ Jam format. IMHO, I found every Track here very enjoyable. Sure, not for everyone, but being a Hard-Core Mule fan, I loved it, and will listening to this CD for a while.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Comment: What else is there to say, it's Gov't Mule!!! Very good, I bought this for my friend and this is one of his favorite bands. He said it was different but good and I could not agree more.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Drums-n-Mule Comment: Well done, I say, to the men of Gov't Mule. In releasing 'Mighty High' they display the courage of their musical convictions. Obviously, the tasteful experimentation on display here is not every listener's cup of tea. Reading the prior reviews seems to indicate that people who rate it lower don't like their bands to deviate from the predictable norm. Those who rate it higher come to the Mule with no preconceptions and appreciate this album for what it is. And, in my opinion, what it is is mighty fine. It must have been a real joy for the band to get a workout with this material. Matt Abts, the drummer, proves himself to be particularly capable in the engine room of Dub...he sounds especially tasty and is well complemented by the rest of the band. Andy Hess, veteran of such groups as the Black Crowes, plays a tight, pulsing bass that is full of presence and keyboardist Danny Louis is integral to the dub sound. Warren's guitar and vocal tone is as tuff as ever, and the collaborations with reggae/dub artists are sweet. It is good to see the long-revered Mule kickin' down on the dub/reggae jams. Whatever next...?
Customer Rating:      Summary: Potentially the greatest album ever!!!!!! Comment: If you don't like this album then you don't get the Mule. I think some people are missing an ingredient......
Customer Rating:      Summary: Mighty Diverse Comment: Gov't Mule has established themselves as a southern rock second stage rock act. This album is a diversion in a new direction. Dub is not typically associated with southern rock and slide guitar, so for Haynes et al to attempt a new invention is refreshing. And the results are outstanding. If anything, Warren shows us that he is the king of the axe. However you expect it, Warren will deliver something else. High & Mighty is a fantastic album, but Mighty High is something different, another breed on a different scale, not better, but far from being 'boring'. It is an excellent album by a brilliant musician. Pick it up and open your mind, you will not be disappointed.
