moving from simple acoustic to
angelic electric guitar, or adding a
slide and even a dulcimer as they do
on "In My Life."
It's the change of pace in these
songs that elicits the most emotion

and Gov't Mule uses it as a vehicle
to make the listener aware of the
restlessness inherent in the songs.
This is best used in "Fallen Down."
The music kicks up as the lyrics
reach their most tender moments
and carries them: "Fallen down, just
like a shooting star / With no fallen
angel standing by / To carry you

away."
A few guest appearances grace
this album, and none is more appre-
ciated than that of modern blues
legend Ben Harper, who plays hip
trademark Weissenborn lap sli
and sings on "Lay Your Burden
Down." Harper's smooth voice con-
trasts sweetly with Haynes' tough as
nails vocal. "Burden" is the album's
most straightforward blues song. In
addition to Harper, added, to the
musical line-up is Johnny Neel,
whose organ lines the gritty tune as
musical tension builds to climax.
When he tastefully trails off to let
Harper's lap slide echo the call of
Haynes'; the interplay betwC
players is almost perfect.
"Life Before Insanity" is a top
quality record that speaks volumes
for Gov't Mule's desire to replicate
their smoking live performance in
the studio. For this album, they took
more liberty with each song's
arrangement, allowing each instru-
ment to play a meaningful role in
every track while maintaining i
raw, live edge. In the end (which ,
in fact, a semi-hidden, lengthy
instrumental jam - "If I Had Pos-
session Over Judgment Day"); Mule
doesn't try to do anything too dif-
ferently - they simply manage to
do the things they do best better
than they've done them before.
