Warren Haynes’ “Soul” Shines Around the World
- Allman Brothers track is Playing for Change’s Newest Song around the World
There was a time - from, say 1996 until late 2023 - when Sound Bites didn’t care if he ever heard “Soulshine” again.
But then Warren Haynes, on acoustic guitar and vocals that seem to defy the passage of time, re-recorded his 1994 Allman Brothers Band composition with a global cast for Playing for Change’s Song around the World campaign, and “Soulshine” shone brightly once again.
Turns out the overwrought song works perfectly in this setting with Shemekia Copeland, Ivan Neville and Hawaii’s Kawai Hoe on co-lead vocals - the latter also playing uke - and fantastic backgrounds emanating from ensembles in Jamaica and South Africa.
Add slide guitar from Italy; bass from Brazil; percussion from Ghana and Brazil; and a surprisingly effective saxophone solo from France, and the song takes on an entirely new meaning. And that bad taste Sound Bites has been carrying for lo these many years disappeared.

Soulshine
When you can't find the light
That got you through a cloudy days
When the stars ain't shinin' bright
You feel like you've lost you're way
When those candle light of home
Burn so very far away
Well, you got to let your soul shine
Just like my daddy used to say
He used to say, "Soulshine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
Hey, now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometime
You got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day"
Allman Bros Band, Where it all Begins, released 1994, Greg Allman vocals, Warren Haynes songwriter

REVIEW: Summer Watercolor Set from Da Vinci Paint Co.
The feel of Summer is easily captured with the Da Vinci Paint Co. Summer set.
This is a curated set of six 15 ml tubes, meaning the colors were chosen with the season in mind. Not just for their colors but for the wide range of characteristics — transparent to opaque, warm to cool, some granulating, some staining. You’ll be able to catch the natural greens, golds, and browns of the summer, as…
