His New Single “This Life As We Know It”
“Warren Haynes is one of the greatest practitioners of rock and roll in the history of the artform.” ~Salon “Warren Haynes is a meaty and masterful player, as well as a soulful singer and “[Warren Haynes is] one of the most celebrated, legendary guitar pros.” ~Billboard “One of his generation’s best and most important guitarists.” ~Guitar World “[Warren Haynes’] voice, guitar and songs recall the blues and rock of the late ‘60s and ‘70s, yet he presents it all with a modern punch that makes even the most classic tropes and progressions sound contemporary. He’s a treasure.” ~Ultimate Classic Rock “With each album, Warren Haynes takes one giant leap forward in sealing his legacy as one of the most versatile singers, songwriters, guitarists and producers of the last 30 years.” ~Vintage Rock
GRAMMY® Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, guitar legend, producer, and Gov’t Mule front man Warren Haynes has officially revealed the details for his new solo album Million Voices Whisper and has shared his radio single “This Life As We Know It.” On Million Voices Whisper, the fourth solo album in Warren’s esteemed career catalog, Haynes sounds as energetic and focused as ever. Accompanying Warren on the collection are members of his current all-star band including John Medeski on keyboards, longtime drummer Terence Higgins (of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band), and Gov’t Mule bassist Kevin Scott. “It felt great to go into the studio to capture this material with this new band who are all fantastic players,” shares Haynes. “This album is quite different than my previous solo records. There’s a lot of soul music influence but very song oriented with subtle nods to a few of my heroes. And what a treat to get back into the studio with my brother Derek [Trucks]. Big shoutout to him as well as Lukas [Nelson] and Jamey [Johnson] for being a part of it. I’m really proud of this new album.” Of “This Life As We Know It” he adds, “It has a very uplifting message and musically, as well, it is just a very positive feeling song. One that I feel we can all relate to. It’s about moving forward and getting past a lot of things but feeling good about life and feeling good about yourself.” Million Voices Whisper features guest appearances from his Allman Brothers Band compatriot Derek Trucks, whose unmistakable guitar sound toughens up three tracks on the album that were co-produced with Haynes, and his Last Waltz Tour co-stars Lukas Nelson and Jamey Johnson, who are featured on the forceful “Day of Reckoning.” Joining Haynes in the studio for the first time since the final sunset of the Allman Brothers Band, one of the featured tracks with Trucks on guitar is “Real Real Love,” a song initially co-written with Gregg Allman that Warren finished in Allman’s style and methods as if Gregg were singing it to honor his friend. Over the years, Haynes has collaborated with an all-star list of Artists across genres: Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews Band, Ann Wilson, Peter Frampton, Phil Lesh, The Dead, The Pretty Reckless, and many more. Warren is actively involved in charity work, including his annual Christmas Jam in Asheville, North Carolina–raising funds for Habitat for Humanity. “This Life As We Know It” is Warren’s universal message for embracing the positivity of change and looking forward through a new lens – one that starts within. Million Voices Whisper, produced by Haynes, will be released November 1 digitally and on CD via Fantasy Records / Concord, with vinyl shipping on November 15, marking Warren’s first solo album in almost a decade. A deluxe CD version will also be available including |
