Gov't Mule - Revolution Come...Revolution Go

 

Gov't Mule — Revolution Come...Revolution Go

180-gram limited edition "Tiger's Eye" colored vinyl 2LP

Exemplified by the duality of the two lead singles — the walloping guitar riffs of "Stone Cold Rage" and the soulful grooves of "Sarah, Surrender" — Revolution Come. Revolution Go is a thrilling musical journey and Gov't Mule's most diverse album to date. The group began recording the album in Austin, TX on Election Day in 2016, with half the country poised for upset no matter the outcome.

The 2017 album's sentiment is evident on songs like "Stone Cold Rage," "Pressure Under Fire" and the title track. While Gov't Mule's storytelling has always been inspired in part by American struggles and experiences, the album finds the band's finger on the pulse of the very divided political climate, capturing the emotions felt by Americans regardless of political affiliation. These lyrical observations are threaded together with a message of unity. 

The album's cover art speaks to this theme. Created by artist Richard Borge, it displays a soldier atop a broken toy mule facing the wrong way as he yells through an orange street cone. "It's that same idea," explains Haynes, referring to the country's current state of affairs. "The character is yelling to nobody and facing backwards. It makes you think."
