The album was recorded in 2019 at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Haynes’ hometown of Asheville, North Carolina. Watching the interplay between Haynes and his band of seasoned rock ‘n’ roll improvisers including Oteil Burbridge on bass, John Medeski on organ and keys, Jeff Sipe on drums, and Greg Osby on saxophone as well as Edwin McCain and Jasmine Muhammad on background vocals along with the 64-piece Asheville Symphony Orchestra is a hypnotic sight to witness.
“Raven Black Night” was originally released on the 1998 Gov’t Mule album, Dose. Talking about taking a new approach to the song, Haynes says. “I had come up with this arrangement that went from Raven Black Night into Silent Scream Pt.2, back into Raven Black Night. The way those two things married together is really cool, and the way the orchestra kind of accepted that challenge was really amazing. I think those two songs, the way they work together, kind of lend themselves to orchestration, in some ways, more than anything else on this recording.”
He continues, “They sound like the orchestration completes the thought. Y’know, the orchestration kind of sounds like part of the composition, which is a tall order and very high praise indeed. I love the arrangement for that piece, and I really enjoyed singing Raven Black Night in that light. Because, y’know, the original recording had no drums and was very stripped-down. It had a little percussion thing in the middle and no bass. Whereas this arrangement is just full-bodied, full orchestration, the opposite of the original recording, and it really takes it to a place that completes it and turns it into another thing.”
