Albums Of The Week: Gov’t Mule | Time Of The Signs EP

Previously available only as a bonus with the CD version of the blues-rockers’ latest album, this five-track EP finally gets a wider release — and it's well worth your time.

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Originally released on the Deluxe Edition CD of Gov’t Mule’s 2023 album, Peace… Like A River, the Time Of The Signs EP is now available for the first time digitally and on vinyl for Record Store Day Black Friday.”

It features five tracks: The latter-day Led Zeppelinesque crunge of Stumblebum; the ’70s-style San Francisco psychedelic folk-rock of Under The Tent; the spry Police-style groove-rock of Time Stands Still; the slowly blistering sax-flecked midnight blues of Blue, Blue Wind; and the eccentric, Tom Waitsian dub jam of The River Only Flows One Way, with Warren Haynes on the microphone instead of Billy Bob Thornton, who guested on a prevIously released version.
