Free Music Notes for Garcia Plays Dylan
Free Music Review: THERE ARE SOME OUTSTANDING COVERS HERE....
Hit: 5 Stars
This was a great album to get. Jerry Garcia sings Dylan is the first disc to properly combine the talents of Jerry (and The Dead in some cases) with the genius of Bob Dylan. It was attempted in the late eighties with Dylan and The Dead, an album that while although the album cover was pretty cool, the material was pretty much all very lame. It was also attempted a few years before this release with Postcards Of The Hanging: Grateful Dead do Dylan... also, less then exceptional.
Here it is done well. Here I can't complain that the album gets stale as it plays out like I could with Postcards... (I think the main reason with Postcards is that most of the cuts are Bob Weir singing really lengthy Bob Dylan tunes and Bob Weir just shouldn't sing that much. I mean, I've seen him do a few Dylan covers well in in concert, but stacked on top of each other they get old fast)
Jerry handles Dylan much nicer, and in fact, the tunes performed with Jerry Garcia Band are much better then songs he performed with the Dead.. (perhaps Dylan and The Dead just don't mesh as well as it seems like they should).
In point... I think that SHE BELONGS TO ME is the same version from Postcards, and that may have been the one stand out track from that disc, so right away it should be easy to just forget about it and put your eggs into this basket.
The bulk are from The JGC and are easily the highlights...my personal top three are TOUGH MAMA, WICKED MESSENGER and TALES OF YANKEE POWER although pretty much everything is worth listening to. They don't seem like a waste of time, it feels like there is emotion to these takes, and the band bring it a life of their own. That is essentially why this disc is good, and Postcards isn't.
Here new life is added to Dylan songs, there its like a karaoke show, and you wish you just had the real Dylan cuts.
Here is a disc thats worth listening to, whether you are a fan of Dylan or Jerry or The Dead or all of the above... there is some great stuff on here.
Garcia Plays Dylan Poster
The Grateful Deads's revered Jerry Garcia pursued an eclectic array of side projects throughout his life. While he always remained central to the Dead's sound and mythology, his other acclaimed musical incarnations included the Jerry Garcia Band-both acoustic and electric configurations-the short-lived, jazz flavored Legion of Mary, solo outings featuring Merl Saunders, and bluegrass supergroup Old and In The Way. On his own and with the Dead (who toured with Dylan), Garcia's interpretations of the "Zimmerman" canon are rich musical masterpieces that embody the very soul of American roots music. This newly compiled 2-disc set celebrates many of the best of those memorable performances.Country Music CDs
