Free Music Notes for Eternally Grateful

Free Music Review: Psychedelic Starbucks
Hit: 5 Stars

Starbucks usually portrays itself as a hipster coffeehouse,where one can find Feist, the Decemberists,and the Shins along with double vente mochas&expensive espresso machines. Recently, Starbucks briefly broke with this by releasing a Grateful Dead Opus Collection;it's a basic introduction to the Dead,and unusually trippin' soundtrack for an upper middle class java stop.

Despite its lack of psychedelic album art, "Eternally Grateful" makes a pleasant introduction to the iconic Grateful Dead. It's also a 2 CD set:the first CD is from studio albums,the second CD is from live performances. It's a creative move,and a step above the "20th Century Millenium Masters" compilations that are basically "Best Of." The liner notes are extensive, explaining each song,as well as the Dead's long and storied history. What a long,strange trip it's been,indeed.

There's a great deal of variety,with classics such as "Box of Rain","Truckin'" (the great road song),"Shakedown Street","Scarlet Begonias","China Cat Sunflower" and "Uncle John's Band." The Grateful Dead's only charting song,"Touch of Grey",is also on it. Unfortunately,there are omissions of "Fire on the Mountain","Samson and Delilah" as well as "Blues for Allah." Nonetheless,it's enjoyable,and the live CD has rarities,and great cover versions of "Not Fade Away" and "Johnny B.Goode."

If you haven't heard the Dead before,this compilation is a great introduction,you'll be "eternally grateful."
