20 years ago today (2/24/98), Gov’t Mule released their fan and band favorite studio LP Dose. Michael Barbiero’s production and engineering aids in helping the trio get a big punch of sound in tracks such as “Thorazine Shuffle” and “Birth of The Mule.” The combination of Celtic and Indian strains within the acoustic arrangement of “Raven Black Night” are as striking as the silence within “Larger Than Life” which itself has an impact almost as resounding as that of the cacophonous “Blind Man in the Dark.” Check out Mule take on “Birth of the Mule” live in the late 90’s..
