Gov't Mule has built a reputation as one of the great live bands in the jam community. They will be supporting their album with more than a year of dates all around the world beginning in May leading up to the release of Revolution Come, Revolution Go.
On November 8, 2016 — Election Day — Gov't Mule began work on a new album in New York City with the working title Revolution Come...Revolution Go. According to Warren Haynes, throughout that first day, the band half joked about what would happen if Donald Trump became president. The next afternoon, they understood that their title had been prescient.
Produced by Haynes in collaboration with Gordie Johnson and Don Was, and cut in Austin (guitarist Jimmie Vaughan contributed to the track "Burning Point") as well as New York. The set's first single, "Stone Cold Rage," evoked the atmosphere of social unrest from coast to coast. The remainder of the double-album's 14 songs were split between topical songs, personal ruminations (Haynes had recently become a father and had lost some close friends), and a cover of Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground."
