Amazon.com essential recording
The landmark original 1975 release, these 10 songs provided a bridge between traditional and progressive bluegrass. The presence of Jerry Garcia greatly expanded the bluegrass audience, exposing thousands of fans to mountain music for the first time, but Garcia's melodic banjo picking and soulful baritone are also essential ingredients. Former bluegrass boy Peter Rowan contributes three now-standard original cuts, and the band covers material ranging from traditionals and Stanley Brothers favorites to the Rolling Stones. Fiddle master Vassar Clements represents the tradition, soaring freely through the verses and breaks with astonishing fire and grace. It remains an important historical document, although the two recent Acoustic Disc volumes (also recorded during the band's only tour in 1973) offer even greater performances and more selections. --Marc Greilsamer

One of a kind August 13, 2007

I had the LP, then the cassette, and now have the CD. With its soulful vocals & lyrics and masterful bluegrass instrumentals, including Jerry Garcia's one-of-a-kind sound woven throughout the medley, it's among my all time favorite recordings. Liquid soul, bluegrass style. Truly music to the ears.

If you likes The Grateful Dead and if you like bluegrass, then this is something you have to have.
A Bluegrass Classic April 18, 2006

This truly is a seminal bluegrass album, and ranks well above the other two recordings by this band, which are available on David Grisman's Acoustic Disc label. But the fadeout on "Land of the Navajo", while Peter Rowan is still singing, is a flaw that is hard to forgive. A more complete performance by Rowan of this vocal tour de force can be found on "Telluride Bluegrass Festival: Reflections, Vol. 1".
Amazing album March 7, 2006

This is one of the best Bluegrass albums of all time.
Note that this CD is shown to be unavailable new and very expensive used, HOWEVER this CD can be purchased for about $15 directly from the Grateful Dead store. dead dot net - music - jerry

I grew up listening to this album (Vinyl LP) on my Dad's stereo at home, and now that I'm off at college I'm trying to collect some of the albums my Dad has on record but I don't have on CD. But how in the world is a college student going to afford to pay upwards of $50 for one album?? That is insane, it's musical extortion, can't people be a bit more reasonable?
