If you like the Dead... BUY THIS I heard Jerry recorded this album because he needed money to buy a house. . Thus the first and last tracks. . Wheel and Deal! Great stuff. . . . the extras are cool. Jerry Garcia's Solo Debut Equals AMERICAN BEAUTY The songs "Deal" and "Sugaree" are still played on classic rock radio quite often today, and there's other great stuff here, too. GARCIA, the debut solo album by Grateful Dead lead guitarist-singer Jerry Garcia, is the equal of the Dead's classic AMERICAN BEAUTY. This CD has been given a thick, warm remastering job, with numerous bonus cuts added. If you love the Grateful Dead, or even if you're just a casual fan, you'll want this album. Garcia Vega everyone else is correct; some of the finest 'Dead-ish music made. wordup its bangin its beautiful buy it. Classic 70's Gem I must admit at first listen I didnt really enjoy The Grateful Dead's "American Beauty", but after "Garcia" my whole view of the Dead has completely changed. "If I had a gun for every ace i've drawn-I could arm a town the size of abilene" and "everybody's praying and drinking that wine-I can tell the queen of the diamonds by the way she shines" are the types of lyrics you will be hearing throughout the songs in the album , mix them with Jerry Garcia's inspirational music and soulful honest voice and you will get one of the absolute greatest albums ever to be produced. This terrific gem of an album is only one member's attempt, put them together and you get a tight band who knows which notes to pick. I can even see now how the Dead have paved the way for many of the southern rockers like Lynyrd Skynyrd and so on with their song themes and style. I learnt all these things from my listen to "Garcia" by the late great Jerry Garcia and I learning more. Get this now if you like great music!. Genius at Work He is definitely missed!. This recording shows how much Jerry Garcia meant to the Grateful Dead. You can see a complete list of all Jerry Garcia discography, or go back to the Jerry Garcia tabs
