The hardest working man in rock and roll Warren Haynes will be returning to the studio this week with Gov't Mule to record the follow up to 2004's Deja Voodoo. In an almost unprecedented move, the band will post daily updates on their web site with streaming video, still photos and, of course, a blog. The mule.net/inthestudio site will launch on January 18, coinciding with Mule's commencement of rehearsals. The plans are for the site to remain live, throughout the entire recording of the album providing intimate access to the bands creative process.

Haynes will be able to devote his full attention to the Mule project until mid-March. At which point, he will rejoin the Allman Brothers Band for their annual March residency at New York City's Beacon Theater. At the venue that has become as familiar to them as Royal Albert Hall is to Eric Clapton, the Allmans will play 13 shows from March 9 through March 25.
