Great vacation CD

"This is one of the very few tribute albums that really works. Some of the best known Dead tunes are given a fresh new look. Even if you're not a big fan of the Dead, you'll probably like this CD, due to the sheer fun and tunefulness of the music. This is a great CD to play while on the beach or anywhere near the water. My favorite was 'Uncle John's band'; the original was good, I think the remake here is even better. Very highly recommended, especially if you like Bob Marley, or if you like to sit on a tropical beach with umbrella drinks in both hands."

Lively and joyous

"The Reggae musicians recorded here seem immediately comfortable with the Dead's material. I guess that shouldn't be a big surprise--it's loose and open. The passion and joy in this music did surprise me."

Judy Mowatt great

"I loved Judy Mowatt's (one of Bob Marley's backup singers) version of Row Jimmy Row. Brings alive the deep soulfulness of many Dead tunes."
