After the death of founding member and bassist Allen Woody, Gov't Mule began recording tracks using bass players that Woody had admired. Originally, there was to be one disc, but so many wanted to be part of the sessions that over 160 minutes of music was recorded. At this point, the remaining members Warren Haynes and Matt Abts decided to split the project into two releases. The Deep End, Volume 2, issued in 2002, was the harder sounding of the two releases (The Deep End, Volume 1 had been released a year earlier), although it also featured country and jazz tracks as well. The release also featured a bonus disc, Hidden Treasure, which contained live material, a song remix, and a new studio track recorded after the Deep End sessions had ended.
