By A Thread, the latest studio release from Gov’t Mule, is a straightforward audio testimonial that classic hard rock is alive and well in the 21st century. And unique only to bands of this fine quality, Warren Haynes and gang prove once again that they’re able to adjust and evolve in a positive way with each CD. Barring the more than plentiful live material circulated over the years, the reggae infused “Mighty High” as well, the studio albums that come out every two to three years or more are what it’s really all about, and they get better all the time.
