Free Music Review: Workingman's Dead
Hit: 5 Stars

When the world has got you down, after your parade has been rained on, and there is not a person in sight to help you. Go to a quiet place and listen for that little voice in the back of your head to say "Nothing left to do but, smile, smile, smile!!!" That sentence alone can change the day of any sad soul who is looking for a hope. The Grateful Dead are responsible for that last hope. The band is widely known for their famous "Casey Jones", but what about the hundreds of others songs produced and re-mixed? The musical genres of blues, jazz, gypsy, and folk created the instrumental techniques used by the performers. "A leaf of all colors plays a golden fiddle," just like the Dead played the fiddle portraying the leaves falling and the different colors the instrument can produce. The Grateful Dead changed the ideas of musical expression during the 60s and 70s. The music filled the albums with melodies that are unlike most popular bands at that time. They used inspirational words to encourage a variety of people for many years. Yet this album was meant to help the dead working man who is fed up with life period. The musical sounds that the Dead presented had an outlook for future artists to learn from. The instrumental parts had the breaks and note changes in sequence with each other. The band's lyrics put together words that look deeper for the important things in life with the hardships and downfalls of being human. The band produced various forms of musical genre, structure, and words with a new tune behind the lyrics and music style.
"Made anymore (money), I might move away." The Dead took what every man faced on the job and put it into words. If they paid the workers anymore, they would leave work behind you and may never come back. The pain and back breaking of a coal miner's job- dusty, long, and hard with a woman, who keeps you up late at night. The music paints a picture with fast beats and a conversation structure of lyrics that show a coal miner hurrying off to the job. The album takes the listener back when all the people had were work and the girls on their arm. The singer talks about how his woman is his Sugar Magnolia "she's a summer love for spring, fall, and winter." The folk/blue grass genre focus on up beats to show the happiness between the couple. The lyrics for this song show that even the hard-working men can be romantic and caring. "She can make happy any man alive", the keys of the instruments bring a colorful harmony between the guitar and keyboard. The "the grass ain't greener, the wine ain't sweeter, either side of the hill." Opening a new world of music to the beat, rhythm, and harmony, the Grateful Dead inspired their listeners to react more to the music.
"Your typical city involved in the typical daydream," follows the life of soul living in a big city, where the people and buildings turn into a blurred vision. The struggle of life gets mixed with everyone else's problems. Yet when times get rough "we can share what we got of your's `cause we done shared all of mine," and still be okay. Just like the music plays a wonderful harmony between two instruments foreshadowing the two tired souls who hardly have anything left but themselves. The Grateful Dead spoke of harmony, not conformity, which teaches the listeners to think about the other person. We "could not see what everybody knows about me." The idea of bettering people through others is another example of how the band wrote considering what the people needed to hear. The lyrics with the instrumental sessions played during performances created the genre which is the jam band brought by great talent and past history of blues and folk music.
The sounds of the band changed the lives of many people through centuries to come. Practical every song word paints a story into the mind of the listener to understand the complications of life. The music genre is like no other before. The Dead is known for some of the worst harmonies produced, but the music structure during their time was too traditional. The music horizon has broadened and the Grateful Dead are still a hit today. When deciding a Grateful Dead album the early years are slower and the later years are faster. The album that made the biggest impact on my ideas of thinking was Europe 72'- Workingman's Dead. They keep playing in the band and they want the listeners to continue to listen. Just remember during life's struggles, "You got to mellow slow, takes time, pick a place, and keep truckin'."
