My Morning Jacket, one of the hottest bands in the rock circuit joins the Mountain Jam Line Up direct from their arena hopping tour with Pearl Jam. My Morning Jacket hails from the city of Louisville, KY., an odd metro-suburban mix of stark industry and fine thoroughbreds and rock and roll fevers. The band's latest release, Z, is a 10-song collection that encompasses carefully wrought ballads such as "Wordless Chorus" and "Knot Comes Loose," multi-genre jams such as "Off the Record," silvery country-soul such as "Lay Low," and high-energy rockers such as "Anytime" and "What a Wonderful Man." These songs can be heard on 100.1 WDST and WDST.com. And that’s not all. Many of Warren Haynes’ friends have expressed interest in joining the party. We may have more special guests to be announced soon. Keep your eyes and ears open, more news to be released as the festival date draws near.

Listen online – www.wdst.com or www.radiowoodstock.com About Warren Haynes Known as one of the greatest guitarists in rock according to Rolling Stone magazine, Warren Haynes became a full-fledged member of the Allman Brothers Band in 1989 when ABB embarked on the Reunion Tour. He has since been key in the production of four studio albums, three live albums and two DVDs -- co-writing all of the original songs for HITTIN’ THE NOTE. As a member of the Allmans, he has, to date, earned five Grammy nominations with a Best Rock Instrumental win for “Jessica†in 1995 off 2ND SET. Haynes formed Gov't Mule in 1994 with then fellow Allman Brothers Band band mate bassist Allen Woody, and, along with drummer Matt Abts, brought the power trio structure back to rock. Woody passed away on August 26, 2000. Haynes and Abts carried on, adding new members keyboardist Danny Louis and bassist Andy Hess. In 2003 the band was nominated for a Grammy. Gov't Mule plans to release a new album on August 22, 2006. For more info on Warren Haynes or Gov’t Mule go to www.mule.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YearsAlongTheSea Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 That looks like a sick line-up. A lot of room for collaboration; aka: DJ Logic w/ MMW , Gordon-Benevento-Russo, and uh.... well... Keller could always use a hand up there.
