Free Music Notes for Wake of the Flood

Free Music Review: Wake of the Flood is Definitive Dead.
Hit: 5 Stars

Wake of the Flood is the second Dead album I ever owned on vinyl. (The first was American Beauty, which preceeded Wake of the Flood in 1970.) Wake of the Flood (1973) is the the Grateful Dead's sixth studio album, and is Definitive Dead--essential to any serious rock collection. From hindsight, the album's title was prophetic in that Wake of the Flood promised the "flood" of great Dead albums still to come. Because Ron "Pigpen" McKernan died from a stomach hemorrhage after the Dead released American Beauty, the Dead added piano player Keith Godchaux to the band, thereby changing the Dead's sound forever. Wake of the Flood is a fusion of rock, funk, blues, reggae, country, and improvisational jam. It includes one of my all-time favorite Dead songs, "Eyes of the World," a concert favorite. The album features Garcia and Weir on vocals and guitars, Lesh on bass and vocals, Godchaux on vocals and keyboards, Donna Jean Godchaux on vocals, and Kreutzmann and Hart on percussion. The album also features the Martyn Ford Orchestra and the English Choral on the title track. I first experienced this album on vinyl. Most of the songs on this album were concert favorites. The remastered CD is worth the upgrade from vinyl, featuring the following setlist:

1. Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo
2. Let Me Sing Your Blues Away
3. Row Jimmy
4. Stella Blue
5. Here Comes Sunshine
6. Eyes Of The World
7. Weather Report Suite: Prelude/Part I/Part II (Let It Grow)

8. Eyes Of The World (recorded in September 7, 1973 in New York)
9. Weather Report Suite (Studio Acoustic Demo): Prelude/Part I/Part II (Let It Grow)
10. China Doll (Studio Outtake)

Wake of the Flood Poster

Following the Dead's early Warner Bros. LP's and their evolution from a San Francisco hippie phenomenon to one of the biggest bands on the planet, these five album masterpieces chronicle the creatively expansive portion of their long, strange, and amazing trip beginning in 1873 when they launchd their own label. Rhino's remastered & expanded editions celebrate the Dead's immortal music with state-of-the-art sonics and a wealth of fresh-from-the-archives bonus rarities.
