There's a stellar line up here to assist Dead lyricist and Jerry Garcia's partner in crime with the second album of his own. While Hunter's voice can be an acquired taste there's no doubting the source of the stories he tells. Wind from the desert, from the plains and blown across the back porches of an older America come from the lungs and soul of the author. All new, but with a familiar feels as if we've heard them before. It takes a unique talent to write a song that is both new and instantly recognizable.
Line Up:
Robert Hunter: vocals and songs
Jerry Garcia: guitar, piano, synthesizer, pedal steel
B. D. Shot: drums
Mickey Hart: percussion
David Torbert: bass

Donna Jean Godchaux: background vocals
