There was also Europe “72” which included Cumberland Blues, He’s Gone, Brown Eyed Woman, Jack straw, and Tennessee Jed.Īnother album that has these qualities is the album up for review, which is Jerry’s first solo Album “Garcia”. One is the follow up to American Beauty with was initially titled “Skull***” which drove the record company nuts, which I guess was the point, the album in question had many more live original folk rock songs including Big RxR Blues, Bertha, Me and My Uncle. Although Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty are the most well know music they have probably produced there are other albums of original songs that had the same pattern of folk rock, Americana feel. Many people believe that that period of the band consisted of essentially 2 albums. That is why in 1970 they decided to go back to their roots, which was folky story ballads with their own little touch to it.
However, the music was cumbersome to play and even worse to record. Initially a bluegrass, blues, and acoustic Americana band, they made their name as a psychedelic Avant guard jam band. Great extension to American Beauty and Workingman's Dead, with some extra weirdness for good measure.īy 1972 The Grateful Dead had come full circle in a sense. Review Summary: First solo album from Garcia, alone with Bill the Drummer.
