  • WARREN HAYNES Releases Official Live Symphonic Video for ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND Classic “Dreams” From Latest Album “Dreams & Songs: A Symphonic Journey”

    Grammy Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, guitar legend, producer, and Gov’t Mule frontman Warren Haynes has released his breathtaking new live album, Dreams & Songs: A Symphonic Journey, via Evil Teen Records in the U.S. and Provogue/Artone Label Group in Europe. Co-produced by Don Was (The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt) and Haynes, the long-awaited 16-track collection – recorded over two nights in 2019 alongside the Asheville Symphony Orchestra – explores all aspects of Warren’s incredible catalog and 30+ year career with music from Gov’t Mule, Allman Brothers Band, The Dead, his solo albums, and more.

    Dreams & Songs: A Symphonic Journey includes the previously released singles “Shakedown Street,” “Banks of the Deep End,” “Raven Black Night”, and “Thorazine Shuffle” as well as new focus track “Dreams.”

    “I’m not a fan of just marrying a symphony with rock music for the sake of doing it,” shares Haynes. “I wanted this record to reflect what I’ve been up to these last 30-odd years, but in a way that’s completely unique. I had a lot of material to choose from, but, in my opinion, most of the songs wouldn’t make sense with a symphony. So, we tried to choose the right songs, then the right arranger for each one. Part of the beauty of this project is experiencing these songs in a completely different way. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I’m so happy with it. Not only is it a great snapshot of those two shows in Asheville, I think, in some ways, but Bob Clearmountain‘s mix takes it beyond that.”

    Dreams & Songs: A Symphonic Journey, mixed by the legendary Bob Clearmountain (David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones), reimagines Haynes’s acclaimed songbook and storied musical journey with bold new orchestral arrangements. To help create these unique takes, Warren threw down the gauntlet to a team of orchestral arrangers – including industry-renowned giants such as David Campbell (Adele, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce), Jim Gray (Barbra Streisand, Imagine Dragons), Tom Matta (Aretha Franklin, Art Garfunkel), Vince Mendoza (Sting, Elvis Costello, Joni Mitchell), Sean O’Loughlin (Josh Groban, Sarah McLachlan), and Chris Walden (Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder) – and dared them to transform some of his best-loved songs from across his gamut of projects.

    Appropriately opening and closing with Gov’t Mule’s “Dreams & Songs,” Dreams & Songs: A Symphonic Journey includes the aforementioned Mule favorites “Banks of the Deep End,” “Raven Black Night”, and “Thorazine Shuffle”, along with “Broken Promised Land” and “Spots of Time” to highlight Haynes’s solo work. Then, there are the nods to Warren’s 25-year career with the Allman Brothers Band, with incredible new versions of “Whipping Post” and “Instrumental Illness,” in addition to “Dreams” as well as his co-write with Gregg Allman, “Just Another Rider.” Haynes chose “Shakedown Street,” “Terrapin Station,” and “Black Peter” to showcase his long association with the Grateful Dead and a few special covers – a haunting take on U2’s “One” and The Band’s sublime “It Makes No Difference.”

    Serving as both a homecoming and a step into the unknown, the new live album spotlights the debut of Haynes’s one-of-a-kind Dreams & Songs symphonic show, recorded at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in his hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, and captures the thrilling collision between his lineup of seasoned rock ‘n’ roll improvisers – Oteil Burbridge on bass, John Medeski on organ and keys, Jeff Sipe on drums, Greg Osby on saxophone, and Edwin McCain and Jasmine Muhammad on background vocals – and the 64-piece orchestra, all led by conductor Rich Daniels from the Chicago City Lights Orchestra.

    Dreams & Songs: A Symphonic Journey is available to order here.

    Since its seminal debut seven years ago in Asheville, the Dreams & Songs Symphonic Experience has taken on its own life, now becoming a highlight of the musical calendar. Haynes’s acclaimed epic show has performed at the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre as well as in New Orleans, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, among other cities. Next up for The Warren Haynes Dreams & Songs Symphonic Experience are two nights in Nashville next year, Thursday, March 11 and Friday, March 12, 2027, at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

    Until then, Warren Haynes remains busy on the road with his bandmates in Gov’t Mule. This Wednesday, September 23rd, the revered Grammy-nominated quartet will kick off the Dreaming The Same Dream Tour with reggae icon Ziggy Marley in New York City at The Rooftop at Pier 17. The 16-date co-headlining outing, also featuring a guest DJ set from YOLA, will travel along the eastern seaboard – including a stop in Asheville on September 25th – and throughout Florida and Texas until October 17th. Then, new for this year, Gov’t Mule is moving their annual New Year’s Eve show to Boston for the first time for a special “Gov’t Mule & Friends” show featuring special guests Jaimoe, Marc Quiñones, Chuck Leavell, Steve Gorman, Audley Freed, Reese Wynans, and Kevn Kinney, marking their first NYE celebration outside of NYC in over 20 years.

  • The Goods – Goodbye Summertime


    There may be a long list of reasons why it sucks to be a human in the year 2026, but a lack of good music is certainly not one of them. The quality of the releases coming out this year continues to blow me away, and it has been an especially notable year for guitar pop. Goodbye Summertime, the second album from Oakland-based The Goods, is up there with the best of 2026’s many long-playing power pop-ish treasures. Largely a solo endeavor from Rob Good, Goodbye Summertime is a stunning work suitable for anyone who loves melody and great songwriting. It pulls from a wide array of influences (Beatles, Brian Wilson, ’60s psych and baroque pop, ’70s AM radio, ’80s/’90s indie pop) that all fall under the umbrella of timeless pop music. It adds all sorts of layers to the band’s core sound while still keeping the hooks at the forefront. The album’s release in the midst of the transition from summer to fall was surely no coincidence. This is the ultimate fall record: a gentle, melancholy set of songs that seems tailor-made for cozy rainy day lounging and solitary walks with just a touch of chill in the air.  

    Much of the magic of Goodbye Summertime lies in its inspiration. Rob Good didn’t just write this record; he lived it. “My whole life turned upside down one summer, ” he says. “The long-term relationship I was in collapsed, and in the wake of that, I found new love. I was sorting through the grief and failure of my previous relationship and the bliss and anxiety of my new one all at once—all while basically living at my recording studio—and I found myself in an intensely creative state.” I love it when songwriters tell their stories, and this story in particular is one I’m feeling deeply. 

    Great albums have been written about painful breakups. Great albums have been written about of the thrills and joy of finding new love. But what happens when both things happen concurrently? It’s hard to imagine the range of emotions you’d go through and how complicated it would be to process all of that and still be able to function. With this record, though, you don’t have to imagine. You experience it vicariously through these remarkable songs. It was as if all that upheaval in Good’s life gave him creative superpowers. These songs are absolutely gorgeous, and the bittersweet vibe feels like real life. There’s sadness and regret, but there’s also optimism and the embracement of what’s new. Good doesn’t overdramatize anything. He just plays and sings from the heart. And his talent is truly formidable. It’s not just the songwriting but also the production and musicianship that shine. Good’s guitar work, in particular, is extraordinary. And his longtime collaborators Cherron Arens, Yea-Ming Chen, and Ian McBrayer lend their talents to several songs. Across 14 tracks, there are no subpar moments or unrealized ideas. Every tune is a gem. And it never hurts to have a legend like Bart Thurber mixing and mastering a record! 

    Goodbye Summertime is such a relatable album because we can all remember a time when one door closed for us, and then another one opened. Rob Good has taken his own story and practically written a novel in songs. Beyond the personal narrative, the album really does capture that end-of-the-summer feeling where you’re wistfully looking back at what has gone and turning a corner to what’s coming next. At this very moment, I’m contemplating how yet another summer has passed me by while I was too busy to notice. Change is an unavoidable part of life, and even when it’s good change, it takes some getting used to. That’s why this record hits so hard. It builds off the broader style of power pop and pushes the boundaries of what it can be without losing sight of why we all love this kind of music. Someday, we’re going to look back at 2026 and marvel that Music City’s Welcome To Music City, Mod Lang’s Borrowed Time, and The Lemon Twigs’ Look For Your Mind! all came out in the same year. Goodbye Summertime needs to be on that list as well. This is a marvelous, masterful guitar pop record. It’s available now on vinyl and CD from Dandy Boy Records.
