Gov’t Mule’s Kicking in Your Stall Tour traveled to Atlantic City last night and the band continues its steady run of memorable performances. The Tropicana Atlantic City was the locale as the group delivered a fitting cover it last performed 18 years earlier.

The evening opened with “Mr. High And Mighty,” the title track to the group’s 2006 album, which the Mule had previously played on 5/18/2023. The first set also included notable takes on fan-favorites “32-20 Blues,” “Beautifully Broken” and “I’m A Ram.”

John Coltrane’s 100th Birthday Will Be Celebrated Via Wide-Ranging, Cross-Label Box Set

September 23 is the 100th anniversary of John Coltrane’s birth. To mark the occasion, Rhino will release Coltrane 100, a special cross-label career retrospective. Coltrane 100 – Selections from 1951-1967 will be released as a deluxe 6 LP vinyl. A second version, Coltrane 100 – Highlights from 1957-1964, will be available the same day on 2 LP and CD.

Coltrane 100 will draw together recordings originally released on Prestige, Blue Note, Atlantic, Columbia, and Impulse! As a result, the release will span an era that begins with his original professional sessions in 1951 through his final creative explorations before he passed away in 1967.

Coltrane 100 – Selections from 1951-1967 and Coltrane 100 – Highlights from 1957-1964 will be released on October 2 and are available for pre-order. The 6 LP box set is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Optimal in Germany and housed in a slipcase with a 12-page booklet. Bernie Grundman has remastered the tracks, while Coltrane scholar Ben Ratliff has contributed a new essay. Purchases made via Rhino.com and select independent retailers will include an exclusive, limited-edition 12×12 typography poster featuring the album’s centennial artwork.
