"Jesse was a friend of mine. We meet several times once in East Park, Georgia. He sat on the porch and sang for hours playing an old Sears Silvertone 12 string guitar. Many of the songs sung that day were from this recording, which was originally released on Goodtime Jazz. Jesse always wanted to be on the Ed Sullivan show. May his soul rest in peace."
Bob Weir Fans Should Hear This

"On the Grateful Dead's first LP, Bob covered "Beat It On Down The Line." And on 1981's live acoustic release Reckoning Bobby sings "Monkey and the Engineer." It's pretty easy to deduce that Bob got the tunes from owning this album back in the early days in SF, CA. So ... for those who enjoy probing the sourcebooks of their musical heroes ... Here's an original: Jesse Fuller."
