Man in Motion by Warren Haynes

Man in Motion, Warren Haynes' second solo studio album, came out through Concord Music Group on May 10, 2011, and it finds the Allman Brothers Band guitarist and Gov't Mule founder stepping off the jam-band treadmill to cut something warmer and closer to the bone. Rolling Stone's David Fricke heard a return to the country-soul Haynes played and wrote back in his Nashville days, now with a heavier dose of Memphis, and that's the feel: slow-cooked soul grooves, a voice that aches more than it hollers, and solos that take their time getting where they're going.

Not that the fire's out. PopMatters assured Mule fans they'd still get plenty of guitar heroics, and the record does deliver. By June 2015 it had sold 80,000 copies in the US.
