Customer Reviews of Shady Grove
Sublime Garcia! The last time I saw Jerry Garcia perform was in Golden Gate Park in the '60s & 'Pigpen' was still at the keyboard, so I admit to being a slacker of a 'Deadhead', but in my defense I always kept a few essential Grateful Dead albums in my collection, 'Workingman's Dead', 'American Beauty', etc. As the '60s faded, the drugs and psychedelia and 'happenings' wore thin for me, but what continued to interest me was Jerry's work outside the Dead, especially with Grisman, 'Old & In The Way' for example, and the wonderful 'Devout Catalyst' with Ken Nordine of 'Word Jazz' fame was awesome. So, I thought I was primed for 'Shady Grove' when it came out, but I wasn't. Shady Grove is the essence of Jerry Garcia, it's the root of his many-branched tree, the place he came from and never left, a clear pool from which his creativity sprang. His mastery of folk music goes beyond words like authentic, this recording is just plain old real! Until I heard 'Shady Grove' I had no idea what the world lost with Jerry Garcia's passing.
Absolutely wonderful collaboration with Grisman
This CD is an absolute essential for anyone who loves "old timey" music, acoustic music, Mississippi John Hurt's smooth Delta blues, Jerry Garcia/David Grisman together or alone, or English folk and sailing songs. Yeah, the CD is THAT eclectic. The CD kicks off with the old English classic, Shady Grove, which was made popular back in the late '60s when Quicksilver Messenger Service included a rocked-out version (with great Nicky Hopkins piano) on an album titled, Shady Grove. Then we slip off into so Stealin', Louis Collins, Casey Jones (not the Dead's version), Dreadful Wind and Rain and, from a '60s album of sea chanteys, the wonderful tale of The Handsome Cabin Boy. The CD closes with the American classic Down in the Valley. (Well, there's a bonus track after that, but you'll have to buy the CD to find out what it is.) I've owned this CD since it was released in 1996 and it has never gotten old. (A companion to this, in a way, is the equally enjoyable Pizza Tapes CD by Garcia/Grisman.) This CD captures Jerry in a relaxed atmosphere, away from the pressure of being JERRY GARCIA OF THE GRATEFUL DEAD, and his gentle humor and comments reveal the soft side of the Jerry many of us loved so dearly. Grisman balances Garcia wonderfully (the songs were recorded in Grisman's home studio), and there is a gentle friendship and love of music that the two share that comes across so sweetly on this album. For me, it's the best Jerry Garcia solo album. It shows a rare side of Garcia, and at 64 minutes, it's a nice hour of acoustic music with the listener having the honor of sitting in with two old friends. Highly, highly recommended.
For both trad. folk lovers and jerry fanatics alike
I fell in love with this album the second I heard it. This album captures the essence of two friends just sitting around and playing old time tunes. This album also affirmed by admiration for jerry garcia showing his true talent outside of the grateful dead.
