The quest to find the authentic American sound is about as former as the American music industry itself,steeped in the history of our country, the people and instruments of its parts.
It's a journey Warren Haynes has been on for many years. The Grammy-winning guitar player and singer helped reboot the Allman Brothers 25 years ago. He also moonlighted with The Grateful Dead for many years as well, and he's been at the helm of seminal rock band Government Mule for the better part of 20 years. [br]
