Warren Haynes interview with Joe Kendrick

DINO PERRUCCI Photography

WNCW’s Joe Kendrick talked with Warren Haynes of Gov’t Mule in a wide-ranging conversation. Warren previews his upcoming shows in Asheville on 5/19 and 5/20, the making of Gov’t Mule’s forthcoming album Peace…Like A River, which features guest artists Billy F Gibbons of ZZ Top, Ivan Neville, Ruthie Foster, Celisse, and Billy Bob Thornton, talks about his plans for the 2023 Christmas Jam, and his memories of pitching against Cal Ripkin Jr. as a 13-year-old all-star in his hometown of Asheville, NC.

This interview originally aired Monday, May 15, 2023.

Joe Kendrick grew up far off in the woods in rural Stanfield, NC, where he acquired his first Sony Walkman, listened to both AM and FM radio from Charlotte, went to Nascar races at Charlotte Motor Speedway, attended a small Baptist church, read Rolling Stone, subscribed to cassette clubs, and played one very forgettable season of high school football. From there, Joe studied Journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was able to fulfill his dream of being a disc jockey at WXYC. He volunteered at WNCW soon after graduation.
