Mr.Haynes calls his new solo effort his Soul album. While not quite deep Soul it is indeed very soulful.
The hardest working man in the modern music business who found time to play with the Grateful Dead, getting the Allman Brothers back on the right track and running his own Gov't Mule outfit.
Man in Motion is an album that he couldn't have recorded with the Mule. The music here is more finely tuned, the arrangements real funky.
What really makes the difference here are the keyboards expertly played by Ivan Neville and Ian 'Mac' MacLagan of Neville Brothers and Faces fame respectively.
Also the typical soul horn section is added in just the right amount.
And, lest I forget, there is of course plenty of room for Warren Haynes' guitar workouts without really overdoing it.
A remarkable effort from the great man. Worth four and a half stars.

With the Allman Brothers Band seemingly taking an extended breather, individual creativity is suddenly bursting out unrestrained all over the place. First came Gregg Allman's splendid "Low Country Blues", now this fine effort from uber-guitarist Haynes and coming up fast on the inside is the eagerly awaited album from the newly-amalgamated Tedeschi Trucks Band featuring the Allmans' other guitar supremo Derek Trucks.
Remaining faithful to Haynes' jam-band origins, extended instrumental breaks abound with the result that nothing clocks in at under five minutes; and some of the tracks are considerably longer than that. But this is no Allman Brothers or Gov't Mule outing; it's altogether jazzier and funkier and a lot more soulful. We're in Michael McDonald territory here, and at times the vocal resemblance is almost uncanny, whilst in the instrumental passages of "On A Real Lonely Night" you might be excused for wondering whether Messrs Becker and Fagen had also somehow sneaked into the session.
Other notable tracks include the slow blues of "Hattiesburg Hustle", the funky "Sick Of My Shadow", the title track and the closer "Save Me" with more than a passing nod to Ray Charles. Spirited stuff.

This album sounds pretty much like I expected it to - in a good way. I had read what Warren had in mind for this album. 'Sounds like it'll be good' I thought - I was right! This is a bit of a departure from the Mule. Great guitar but on a tighter rein than the Mule (serve the song) and a funkier sound all round. As another reviewer rightly pointed out, sounds like Becker & Fagen sneak in occasionally. There are even bits that sound like John Turnbull from the Blockheads but it's all Warren, all good and a worthy addition to the Hardest Working Man in Music's catalogue. A healthy mix of soul,funk, blues and rock that proves that good music is still out there - if you know where to look. Well, here for starters.
UPDATE - I have been away on holiday for about a month and popped this back on after a rest from listening to it and it's a keeper! Gov't Mule are a broad musical church so it's not that much of a stretch for us broad-minded Mule fans to appreciate this more soulful, funky and less rockin' option.

great musicianship, but where's the wow factor?
I bought this album after Warren's recent gig in London, just blown away by the band's live performance. On first hearing I thought...hmmm, good musically, but nothing to grab you. Read more

mildly pleasant
One of those albums that doesn't really grab you but is put together quite professionally to flow without too much change in style. Read more
