The record company wouldn't let them call it "Eat a Greyhound." :)

 MR>    Who is Warren Haynes and what does he play?

He is one of the best bottleneck players you will ever hear.  It's almost like 
hearing the ghost of Duane.  First time I heard a cut off the CD "In the 
Beginning" I thought it was an unreleased track of Duane's.  Unfortunetly he 
left the Brothers to play with his own band Govt. Mule.  I find them 
uninspiring to say the least.  Now they've kicked Dickie out of the band, and 
my response is not to bother with them anymore.  But try to hear one of their 
albums with Warren on it, they are superb.
