Budos is amazing @dinobarnesberlin That song has a different kind of a guitar edge than a lot of their stuff, pretty raw. I dig it. Heard Antibalas? Another great afrobeat-influenced band:
These guys take the same afrobeat influence and blend it with disco, funk, Sun Ra, the trappings of Crowley-esque occultism, and psychedelia. Very bizarre but I love them. I'd love to see them one day–it's a wild ride. They play in Austin a lot but don't seem to tour much, though I've seen them hit Europe before:

…@dinobarnesberlin makes me want to get in a vehicle and drive! Good stuff!
-
@mclaincausey … just gave Antibalas a listen and yea,, these guys have a cool sound.
If they ever make it to Berlin, I will check them out. Im thinking live they must be a fun show.@vaquero357 –- I usually crank this up when Im riding my bike to work

There’s my Mule @goosehd
Warren is such a beast. I’ll always miss Woody but they still rock.

I think one of my favorite Mule moments was going the The Deepest End concert in New Orleans to commemorate Allen Woody. It was right after a crazy transitional period in my life and the idea was rotating in bassists that Mule had been touring with in a kind of extended tribute to Woody through the show (there's a DVD and album of it too). There were other sit-ins and highlights like a slide duel between Warren and Sonny Landreth (he is incredible).
Bassists included:
Jack Casady
Les Claypool
Jason Newsted
George Porter Jr.
Dave Schools
Roger Glover
Mike Gordon
Paul Jackson
Conrad Lozano
Will Lee
Greg Rzab
Rob Wasserman
Victor WootenDirty Dozen and a number of other great horns like Fred Wesley and Karl Denson sat in, keyboardists like Bernie Worrel and Ivan Neville…. it was so special.
Here's Sonny Landreth:

@mclaincausey I would have never pictured Newsted playing with Mule
@Jett129 Really wish Morrison didn't die so young. Also feel the same way about Hendrix and SRV.

I bet you can guess @goosehd
War Pigs and Sweet Leaf… I think he came on a song before those though.
EDIT: I found all the gory detail: https://bt.etree.org/details.php?torrentId=603027 @goosehd
LOVE VICTOR. The Wooten family is so prodigious. No one plays like Victor. And he is a very kind human being, incredibly down to earth for being the only person who can do what he does. Loved the Flecktones, where I first heard him, but one of the coolest things I saw him do was a duo with drummer JD Blair. At one of their shows, they did a tribute to Michael Hedges, which was cool and made me think about Michael Manring, a bassist Hedges worked with (played fretless a lot) who was so different from Vic but also so good.
SHIT quality but this gives you the idea:
-
I've been all over the map musically recently, but sometimes earlier Muse just hits the spot. So, if you haven't listened to Dredg "Catch Without Arms", it's a solid if occasionally jammy album
-
Love this song
