Sco-Mule is a live album by the American rock band Gov't Mule, recorded at two 1999 shows in Atlanta, Georgia. It features the band's original members: guitarist Warren Haynes, bass guitarist Allen Woody, and drummer Matt Abts, along with jazz guitarist John Scofield and keyboardist Dan Matrazzo.[3]

These Atlanta performances have been widely traded, discussed and revered by Mule fans for 15 years.[4] Sco-Mule defies both jazz and jam-band genres, "instead, it sits somewhere in-between, with everyone forgetting about artificial delineation."[5]
