The record company wouldn't let them call it "Eat a Greyhound." :)

MR>    Who is Warren Haynes and what does he play?

He is one of the best bottleneck players you will ever hear.  It's almost like
hearing the ghost of Duane.  First time I heard a cut off the CD "In the
Beginning" I thought it was an unreleased track of Duane's.  Unfortunetly he
left the Brothers to play with his own band Govt. Mule.  I find them
uninspiring to say the least.  Now they've kicked Dickie out of the band, and
my response is not to bother with them anymore.  But try to hear one of their
albums with Warren on it, they are superb.
