“In 1998 when Big Sugar released HEATED, Govt. Mule and Big Sugar had already done several tours together, starting a few years earlier starting a few years earlier when we each released our debut album. It was an exciting time – seeing both band grow exponentially, continually adding new influences to the mix - each one rising to the occasion and not wanting to be outdone. Every night we would stand side stage and watch them, they would stand side stage and watch us, and many nights we would wind up on stage playing together either in their set or ours. I recall a lot of lucky audiences being treated to long nights of fresh, loud, unique spontaneous, “hard to categorize” music. It’s always a true test to see how the audience reacts to the new material before they’ve had a chance to digest it and you could feel them connecting to these songs right away. A lot of future Big Sugar concert staples would appear on HEATED which remains one of my faves “ Warren Haynes
