Son House and Reverend Gary Davis: The Perpetual Appeal Of The Blues

Read "Son House and Reverend Gary Davis: The Perpetual Appeal Of The Blues" reviewed by Doug Collette

Read "Grateful Dead (Skull & Roses)" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Grateful Dead, the second album of concert recordings released by the iconic band for Warner Brothers Records, resides squarely in the sweet spot between the expansive likes of its corollary, Live Dead (Warner Bros., 1969) and the economical studio recordings this group issued in between, Workingman's Dead (Warner Bros., 1970) and American Beauty (Warner Bros., 1970). ...
