Gov't Mule

A wildly creative and fearsomely talented rock band lauded by Rolling Stone for successfully bringing the classic power-trio sound of Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience into the 21st Century, "By a Thread" is Gov't Mule's first studio album in 3 years.

Recorded largely at Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studio in 2009, the album's origins are apparent from the first track, Broke Down On The Brazos, named after the nearby river, with a deep Texas stomp for the backbeat and featuring the trademark guitar-work of ZZ Top founder Billy Gibbons.
