“There were 300,000 people there, so just the adrenaline rush alone was making for some great music”: Warren Haynes on putting his stamp on Allman Brothers' classics, Woodstock ’94, and finishing what Gregg Allman started with Derek Trucks’ help

Warren Haynes takes a solo live onstage with his Gibson Les Paul Standard. He wears a black shirt.

Warren Haynes had no intention of releasing The Whisper Sessions as a standalone release, at least not at first.

Sitting in the inner sanctum at the Gibson Garage London, where they keep the good stuff (there’s a Korina Flying V on the couch beside us), he explains that the idea at first was to pare down some choice cuts from his latest solo long-player, Million Voices Whisper, and then perform them for promo.
