Yes, of course, I must include the Grateful Dead. They have been one of my most favoritest bands ever. If things had turned out a little differently, I might have been one of those guys who spent my life in a rolling commune, following them around in a school bus for years.
But , things didn't turn out that way. And I can't say that I have any regrets! 😎
Of all their albums that I truly love, I have to put American Beauty at the top. The first time I heard it, I said, "Shit, this is COUNTRY music! WTF!? "... a lot of people don't know that Jerry Garcia was in a jug band a few years before The Dead formed up.
This IS a studio album, and as such should be highly-polished.
There are no missteps on this album, and it all fits together. So, IMO, this is THE perfect album for the Grateful Dead.
