Grateful Dead – The Rock N' Roots Of (Brown LP Vinyl)
Grateful Dead – The Rock N' Roots Of (Brown LP Vinyl)
By 1980, the Dead had spent fifteen years weaving American roots music into something entirely their own, and these radio recordings catch them in that well-worn groove. Covers were never filler for this band; they were a window into the record collections and front-porch traditions that shaped Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and Ron McKernan from the beginning.
Brown colored vinyl pressing of live radio recordings from 1980, capturing the Grateful Dead's deep roots in American folk, blues, and country. The set draws from the band's vast catalog of covers and originals that defined their live shows — from the Jesse Fuller ragtime staple "Monkey and the Engineer" to the Garcia/Hunter perennial "Must've Been the Roses," Bob Weir's barroom classic "Mexicali Blues," and the blues standard "Little Red Rooster."
