It's all good
That said, tracks here are tight and folksy, almost back to bluegrass roots. Having been on tour for years in the lat 80s, I'm sorta biased: I never heard and JGB (or GD, for that matter) which I DIDN'T like. Mellow. What's not to like? .
Enjoyed for Years
As other reviewers have commented, this album is very much in the same vien as Reckoning, but with a folk twist. I've enjoyed this album for years and I'm disappointed to see it out of print. Great Sunday morning music. Get out the coffee, put it on and sit back and enjoy.
Easily a 5 star album
Any Dead fan will love this album. This album has to deserve 5 stars. My personal favorite is Deep Elem Blues. I've just picked up mandolin and this album has really inspired me. 5 stars all the way.
A Jerry Masterpiece
It's a side of music that is sometimes shown through the Grateful Dead, but perfected when Jerry goes solo. This CD has incredible sound quality, and provides new and old Deadheads with melodic tracks that are complimented both by Jerry's prime vocals, and guitar playing.
Favorite tracks: Blue Yodel No. 9, Deep Elem Blues, I've Been All Around This World, Ripple
Recommended all fans of Jerry and his music. .
Best Ever!
Not only do I think this is one of Jerry Garcia's most enjoyable moments it is also one of my ultimate all-time favorite albums in the world! This music just makes you FEEL good and I am not complete without it!!Especially check out Deep Elem and Wind & Rain!.
