In January 2015, fans will finally be able to get their ears on a very special release - the long-­awaited SCO-­MULE album. In late September of 1999, John Scofield teamed with Gov’t Mule, then featuring original bass player, the late Allen Woody, along with keyboardist Dr. Dan Matrazzo, in Georgia for two legendary shows. Both shows were recorded, and included the Mule’s first-­ever all-instrumental sets. The band had begun preparing the music for eventual release while working on their third studio album, Life Before Insanity. However, less than a year later, their beloved bassist Allen Woody passed away, setting the Mule on a different path. The idea of releasing SCO-­MULE came up over the years, but the timing was never as right as it is now – helping to mark Gov’t Mule’s 20th Anniversary.
