Life Before Insanity is the third studio album by Gov't Mule.[1] The album was released on February 15, 2000, by Capricorn Records.
The album peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Heatseekers Album Chart.[2]
Production
The album was produced by Michael Barbiero.[3] Unlike the band's first two albums, Life Before Insanity utilized both overdubbing and multiple guest musicians.[4] It was the last album recorded with founding member Allen Woody, who died in August 2000.[5]
Critical reception
The Austin Chronicle wrote that "having Ben Harper cameo with Haynes on 'Lay Your Burden Down' is a guitarist's dream, but while the song rolls along, it never takes off—never reaches the pairing's potential."[6] The Washington Post thought that the album "recalls the vintage blues-rock of the early Allman Brothers Band and Clapton's Cream."[7]
