Gov’t Mule Shares New Track ‘Dreams & Songs’

On June 9 Gov’t Mule will unveil their 10th studio album, Revolution Come … Revolution Go. The quartet had previously shared a pair of singles from the LP and today have released the ballad “Dreams & Songs.”

“Dreams & Songs” is one of two songs Don Was produced for the LP. Warren Haynes spoke with Billboard about what Was added to the tune, “He steps in the room with the band while we’re tracking and sits in the room with us. He’s got headphones on and sits on the floor with us while we’re playing, which is interesting. He was really easy to work with, as I knew he would be, but he also had a lot of great ideas and suggestions. That song is really personal to me, and he knew that. He wanted to capture an early take and we wound up keeping the very first take we did. As soon as we recorded it he looked around and said, ‘That sounds like a record.’ We tried it a few more times but went back to the first one. I really enjoyed that kind of approach to it.”
