Includes liner notes by David Gans. Five years after Jerry Garcia's passing comes this compilation of Dead covers selected by David Gans, host of The Grateful Dead Hour. Unlike the DEADICATED tribute album, this collection draws from disparate sources as opposed to being commissioned for a specific project. As a result, jam-band successors like Widespread Panic ("Cream Puff War") and Leftover Salmon ("Pasta On The Mountain") share space with creaky Dead contemporaries Bob Dylan ("Friend Of The Devil") and the David Grisman Quintet ("Dark Star"). Although the inclusion of the Stanford Marching Band ("Uncle John's Band") leans towards being a novelty nod, the Cache Valley Drifters ("Cumberland Blues") best succeed at getting to the core of bluegrass, a sound that influenced these counterculture icons. However, the best surprises come from the most unlikely Dead acolytes. Who knew that Elvis Costello's attendance at the '74 London Alexandra shows would have him cranking out a medley of "Ship Of Fools/It Must Have Been The Roses" 13 years later? Or that Henry Rollins and Wartime could deliver such a funky and metallic-sounding version of "Franklin's Tower?"
