Explaining The Slip and their sound is quite frankly near impossible. They are a trio made up of Brad Barr on guitar, drummer Andrew Barr and bassist Marc Friedman. In simplest terms, they are an avant-rock outfit that’s been playing music since 1996 in this configuration. But please don’t let that label fool you. like many of their contemporaries, they are a genreless band. The Slip, were a big part of the Jam Band scene in the late 90s and early 00s and have long been considered favorites of the musicians who made up that scene. It’s been 10 years since the band has toured as The Slip, but this fall they’ll be doing a North Eastern tour of the US coming on the heals of a very successful reunion of sorts at the JRAD Lockn Festival thing this past summer. Late last week, I caught up with Brad Barr to talk about all things The Slip.

For the next album, Gov’t Mule have produced their first real blues record, Heavy Load Blues arriving on-line and in store November 12 on Fantasy records. It’s a 13 track masterpiece with both Warren Haynes penned originals and a bunch of great cover songs, which Mule have of course transformed and turned into their own. While the record isn’t out for another few weeks, I caught up with the frontman of Gov’t Mule, Warren Haynes to talk about the record, how it came to be and what’s next for the band. I should mention, that for the most part we stuck to discussing the new record, just before Warren performed with Phil and Friends and was absolutely superb.

First song: Snatch it Back and Hold it > Hold it Back > Snatch it Back and Hold It 

Second song: Make it Rain
