Each December, Warren Haynes puts together a bill filled with some of the best musicians in the country to perform at his Christmas Jam to raise money for Habitat For Humanity. WARREN HAYNES PRESENTS: THE BENEFIT CONCERT VOLUME THREE presents the highlights from the 13th Annual Christmas Jam, which was held at the Asheville Civic Center on December 21, 2001. Each collaboration on this release works marvelously. Phil Lesh & Friends’ “Q” lineup with Haynes and Jimmy Herring on guitar was thriving in late 2001 as displayed during funk-tinged versions of “Loose Lucy” and “Tennessee Jed.” Of the four outstanding Gov’t Mule tracks that close out the set, “Almost Cut My Hair” is a clear highlight thanks to Robert Randolph’s blazing pedal steel work and “Sco-Mule” features the host’s best solo of the night. Disc one features Alvin Youngblood Hart, John Popper and Blues Traveler, Drivin' N' Cryin', and a handful of other jam-scene all-stars. Disc two is all Phil And Friends and Gov't Mule, along with their various guests. Jam Band fans won't be disappointed! The ‘'man in motion'’ and friends give us sweet candys and all we can do is say: "Thanks". There's new people but they are great and it worth the cost.

It's unclear why VOLUME THREE of Warren Haynes' Annual Christmas show, took three additional years for an official release after Volumes 1 & 2 were made available in 2007. Regardless, this edition, finally available commercially in 2010, follows the same basic template as the gigs and the previous two discs: it's a double package that begins unplugged and builds up steam culminating in a final all-star collective that closes the second platter. Haynes is never far from the festivities, adding his licks and/or gruff voice to the sets of Blues Traveler, Phil Lesh & Friends, and of course Gov't Mule. Alvin Youngblood Hart kicks things off, Edwin McCain appears next and is joined by guitarist Jimmy Herring and others. That's followed by Drivin' N' Cryin' who charge into their two biggest tunes, and Blues Traveler, whose frantic four-song, 25-minute performance, featuring Popper's jittery more-notes-per-second harp solos, end the first disc. Disc two is dedicated to the Grateful Dead's Lesh, whose band Haynes toured with that year, along with Gov't Mule and a closing all-in blowout on Neil Young's "Rockin' In The Free World," the only subtle acknowledgment to the September 11 events that occurred just a few months before. The Jam factor is high throughout. That's to be expected of Lesh and his group, though, whose contributions make up approximately a half-hour on disc 2. Haynes' work, both vocally and on guitar, energizes and often focuses what can be meandering Dead-styled material. Gov't Mule is no stranger to improvisation either, albeit in a harder style, as they grind out spirited, gutsy, extended versions of their own "Blind Man In The Dark," "Sco-Mule," and a rollicking cover of David Crosby's "Almost Cut My Hair". Any fan of Haynes and his diverse musical associations will find lots to like here, and since the proceeds benefit Habitat For Humanity, others can feel good cherrypicking from over two hours of energetic, passionate music, all recorded live on a single night with no overdubs.
