Warren Haynes is a true modern day music legend. From his humble beginnings with country artist, David Allan Coe, Warren went on to play in The Dickey Betts Band. When the Allman Brothers Band reformed to celebrate their 20th anniversary in 1989, Betts asked Haynes to join him in the Allmans as the second guitar player. Warren recently released his solo album Million Voices Whisperwhich may be his finest work to date.
