“Man in Motion” might be something of an understatement when you apply the album title to Warren Haynes, the man behind the solo recording of the same name. The much-loved and -honored Haynes, one of Rolling Stone magazine’s top 25 guitarists of all time, seems to never sit still. Consider that he’s equally well-known for his work with the Allman Brothers Band as he is with Gov’t Mule and his own solo work, and let’s not forget his various stints with such bands as Phil Lesh & Friends. So who can begrudge Haynes the chance to honor the music he personally adores, R&B?

“This is a record I always knew I would make at some point, but it took a long, long time [to bring to fruition],” he said. “This harkens back to my earliest influence, which was soul music. I was listening to this before I ever discovered rock ‘n’ roll.”
