New York Post June 6, 2004 It's not that Warren Haynes is a bad singer, but the reason you listen to him is to hear how one man with a six-string guitar can sound like a symphony. This disc is the perfect platform for that, since Haynes is performing solo - unusual for a guy's who's spread thin dividing his time between the Allman Brothers Band, The Dead and Gov't Mule. The signature guitar sound of "Live at Bonnaroo" is Haynes' mixture of strummed rhythms and finger-picked leads. He's mostly a student of standard Southern rock vocals, but there is one song where he's incredible:his cover of U2's "One." His ultra-passionate version is easily the equal of the original, as he pushes his voice to the point that he makes you believe he's the second coming of Bono. |
