Warren Haynes: Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag
With both Gov’t Mule and The Allman Brothers Band on ice for much of the year, veteran guitarist Warren Haynes released a soul-driven album under his own name and hit the road with his new Warren Haynes Band. Haynes experienced changes off the road as well when he and his wife adopted their first child. Executive Editor Dean Budnick sat down with Haynes amid these changes for an in-depth look at the life of one of the jamband scene’s most prominent players.

Woods and Real Estate: A Scene of Their Own
During the past decade, the members of Real Estate and Woods have carved out their own niche somewhere between the indie rock and jamband genres. Without the help of a major label or traditional managers, the intertwined bands forged a uniquely psychedelic D.I.Y. path that manages to balance classic rock values with a more modern approach to grassroots promotion.

How to Steal a SMiLE
For Beach Boys fanatics and many record collectors, SMiLE is the Holy Grail – Brian Wilson’s great, lost crowning achievement. Scheduled for release in the ‘60s, fans have only heard the pop opus in drips and drabs – through various bootlegs, re-possessed recordings and Wilson’s rerecordings. But, more than 40 years later, The Beach Boys’ version of SMiLE will finally see the light of day as California’s most cherished sons prepare for their 50th anniversary celebration. Contributing Editor Jesse Jarnow explains how the classic Beach Boys recording finally came to life.
