Notes
  • review: [cheeky] Cook 1981. "is there still anything special about the Gratefuls? Easy. It's Jerry Garcia. Static, porky old' trouper he may be, yet it's Garcia's inconsistency and fallibility that make him interesting. There's no pretence about the limitations of his voice ... it's just that on the right sort of tune it can sound movingly vulnerable. This is no era for a guitar hero either, but Garcia's style, always breaking up lines with those stunted half-notes and oblique switches of emphasis, is something all his own. Choose the right moment and you can hear a sequence that most crab-fingered rock players couldn't dream about playing."
