Sco-Mule is a live album by the American rock band Gov't Mule, recorded at two 1999 shows in Atlanta, Georgia. It features the band's original members: guitarist Warren Haynes, bass guitarist Allen Woody, and drummer Matt Abts, along with jazz guitarist John Scofield and keyboardist Dan Matrazzo. [3]

Contents

These Atlanta performances have been widely traded, discussed and revered by Mule fans for 15 years. [4] Sco-Mule defies both jazz and jam-band genres, "instead, it sits somewhere in-between, with everyone forgetting about artificial delineation." [5]

Recorded at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, Georgia on September 22 and at The Roxy in Atlanta on September 23, 1999. [6]
