Synopsis

Album Description
The Grateful Deads's revered Jerry Garcia pursued an eclectic array of side projects throughout his life. While he always remained central to the Dead's sound and mythology, his other acclaimed musical incarnations included the Jerry Garcia Band-both acoustic and electric configurations-the short-lived, jazz flavored Legion of Mary, solo outings featuring Merl Saunders, and bluegrass supergroup Old and In The Way. On his own and with the Dead (who toured with Dylan), Garcia's interpretations of the "Zimmerman" canon are rich musical masterpieces that embody the very soul of American roots music. This newly compiled 2-disc set celebrates many of the best of those memorable performances.
 

CD Reviews

Incredibly Good
Island Dreamer | Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii | 03/19/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The songs on this two-disc set are some of Dylan's greatest (Tangled up In Blue, Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Simple Twist of Fate, and It's All Over Now, Baby Blue to name a few) being covered by Jerry throughout his career (both with the Dead and the Jerry Garcia Band). Rhino did a great job compiling these tracks. While they come from different bands over many years, all the songs flow well together and this is a collection that you'll treasure forever. This is truly a must have for both Jerry and Dylan fans."
