Warren Haynes Presents The 2001 Benefit Concert Volume 3, 2CDs  E-mail this product to a friend Tweet

For over 20 years, Warren Haynes’ Christmas Jam has been one of the premier musical events in the world.  The annual event brings together an incredibly diverse lineup of top-notch musicians, with all the proceeds going to Habitat For Humanity, and every year the Xmas Jam produces more than its share of unique collaborations and red-hot jams.

Over the past few years, Warren and the good folks at Evilteen Records have started going through the Christmas Jam archives and releasing some of the shows on CD and/or DVD.  We are delighted to announce we are now taking orders for the latest installment in the series, a blistering double live CD called: Warren Haynes Presents The Benefit Concert Vol. 3!

Volume 3 is full of powerhouse performances from the likes of Phil and Friends, Drivin’ n’ Cryin’ and Blues Traveler, plus a great Gov’t Mule show with a rotating cast of all-star bass players.  This show happened during the transition period following Allen Woody’s death, when Mule toured with several different bassists, and both Oteil Burbridge of the Allman Brothers Band and Dave Schools of Widespread Panic are featured here.  Check out Oteil’s jazzy runs on “Sco-Mule,” or Schools’ massive, Woody-esque bottom end on “Blind Man In The Dark.”  Smokin’!

This 2001 Xmas Jam also took place during the “Golden Age” of Phil Lesh and Friends, the widely-praised “Phil Lesh Quintet” of Lesh, Haynes, Jimmy Herring, Rob Barraco and John Molo.  The “Loose Lucy>Tennessee Jed” sequence captured here is ample proof of why many people think this was the best incarnation of Phil and Friends to ever hit the stage.

That doesn’t even cover the great acoustic blues by Alvin Youngblood Hart, or Warren’s emotional guest appearance on Blues Traveler’s “The Mountains Win Again.”  There is a lot to love here, from Hart’s “Mama Don’t Allow,” which opens Disc One, to the all-star free-for-all on Neil Young’s “Rockin’ In The Free World” that brings Disc Two to a rousing conclusion.

Everyone who pre-orders through HTN gets a chance to win one of three signed Xmas Jam posters!  These beauties are rare enough without the signature, and we thank the folks at Evilteen Records for making them available and getting them signed by Warren.  We know that our folks love these kind of special extras, and we're happy to bring you this offer.
