The remixed and remastered version will drop on January 30th
Grammy Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, guitar legend, producer, and Gov’t Mule front man Warren Haynes has announced a remixed and remastered version of his debut solo studio album, Tales of Ordinary Madness. Due out January 30th via Megaforce Records, the new, expanded 12-track album, featuring one bonus song not included on the original, was produced by Chuck Leavell and co-produced by Haynes, remixed by Jim Scott at Plyrz Studios, and remastered by Greg Calbi and Steve Fallone at Sterling Sound. To tease the new 2026 edition, Haynes has issued the first single, the album’s fiery opener “Fire In the Kitchen.”
Tales of Ordinary Madness was originally released in March 1993. Haynes introduced himself as a solo artist with an impressive collection of songs that perfectly balance his soulful songwriting and powerful guitar work, set against a diverse sound blending the many styles that have influenced him, including rock, blues, and soul.
In February, Haynes will embark on a rare, intimate solo tour. During the stripped-down, two-set shows, Warren and his guitar will explore all aspects of his incredible catalog – including songs from Gov’t Mule, his solo recordings, and the Allman Brothers Band – playing hits and rarities as well as a wide variety of music that has inspired and influenced his acclaimed career. The 11-date tour, traveling from February 12-26, includes two nights at the new Blue Note Los Angeles (February 17 & 18) with two shows per night. Following his solo outing, the Winter of Warren 2026 Tour will continue with a short run of Warren Haynes Band headlining dates from March 1-7.
Haynes recently released The Whisper Sessions, a stripped-down companion album to his 2024 solo release, Million Voices Whisper. Both albums, available via Fantasy Records, were produced by Haynes and feature Warren’s longtime ABB bandmate Derek Trucks on multiple tracks. Hailed as his best album yet, Million Voices Whisper – Haynes’ fourth solo album and first solo release in nearly a decade – is a searing collection of soulful blues-rock. On the opposite end of the spectrum, The Whisper Sessions is an intimate compilation that peels back the layers to spotlight Haynes’ soulful voice, masterful guitar work, and the heartfelt storytelling at the core of his music.
Next up for Haynes is a long-awaited return to his hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, for the 33rd annual Christmas Jam on December 13th. The 2025 lineup features Warren Haynes & Friends, Stone Temple Pilots, MJ Lenderman & The Wind, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, and A Very Special Xmas Jam Tribute to Phil Lesh featuring Warren Haynes, Grahame Lesh, Jimmy Herring, John Molo, Jason Crosby, and more. As one of the most celebrated and longest-running live concerts in the U.S., Warren Haynes Presents: Christmas Jam will continue to benefit Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity and BeLoved Asheville.
To conclude the holiday season and another busy year, Haynes and his Gov’t Mule bandmates will reconvene for their annual New Year’s Run, the acclaimed quartet’s long-standing tradition of bringing the Mule community together to ring in the new year. The three-night New York stand begins December 28th in Schenectady and then returns to the Beacon Theatre in NYC, the home for Mule’s New Year’s shows for over two decades, on December 30th and 31st, with the New Year’s Eve show honoring the music of 1971.
