Pure Brilliance.......2006-02-21

My musical journey hasn't even reached a 2 digit number of years yet, but it's been quite profound so far. I count my album collection by the hundreds. I really truly love all the albums I own, but I've been blown away by an album only so little times. (Nevermind, Dark side of the Moon, Blue, Moon Safari).
Now - when I say blown away - I mean it. Literaly. Blown away, to me, means having to sit back and re-think everything you thought you knew about music and discovering a whole new genre, a new approach. Discovering you like something else. That's blown away, as far as I'm concerned. And this album definately blew the hell out of me.
I remember hearing it for the first time, on some early morning train ride, that went through the sun, through the rain, and back to sun light again. From that first string pluck to that very last "truly obnoxious instrument" monolog, I was simply amazed. I never thought I'd like country music, or anything related to it, for that matter.
And the whole atmosphere of the album - so relaxed, so free, so "we're here just for the fun of it. really" kind of feeling. I've only heard that feeling come out of one other album - "Traveling Wilburys Volume 1". The only thing David and Jerry wanted to get/achieve in these recordings was the shere pleasue of hearing each other play together, and the excitement of what the music may do while they play.
If you're a dead head, you'll probably get this album anyway. If you're not, if you only have a couple (or less) "dead" albums, then pick this one up. You're exactly where I was when i pressed that "play" button.

Jerry without the Dead in a different style!!.......2006-01-15

Different styles of bluegrass,and old tunes make this a very interesting musical find!!! Once you hear the title track you will find it hard to keep the song out of your head,I cant quit ,singing ,humming and whistling it.

An instant favorite.......2006-01-05

My ears first delighted to this jewel of an album on a driftboat trip through the Rogue River valley, and it's been one of my favorites ever since. Highly recommended to anyone with an appreciation for great music.

Who knew Jerry Played This kind of Stuff?.......2005-11-12

Though I did my share of listening to the Grateful Dead in college (1970s), I was not, at the time, that much of a Dead-Head. I may be slow, but I'm gettin' there now (or maybe I should say I'm a Garcia/Grismanhead). I came across this terrific album about a year ago, and it has become one of my all-time faves. Jerry Garcia and David Grisman (who plays a mighty mean mandolin) collaborated on a number of acoustic albums together, and this one, a collection of acoustic old time folk and traditional songs, is one of the best. The music is pure and sweet and often sad. Garcia's voice is somehow so strangely magnetic and alluring, and their unadorned instrumental accompaniments are so simple and yet lovely. As you listen to these songs, you feel as if you could be sitting and listening to these two guys in a pub in 19th century London or Boston. The other album these guys did that is not to be missed is The Pizza Tapes.

Great music.......2005-08-09

Great music to listen to & also learn to play with. If you want to get away from mainstream rock, pop, or country & listen to hard to come by music & classic traditional then this is it.
