Jerry Garcia's second solo album contains the genesis of the Jerry Garcia Band, which would go on to become nearly as stable a performing unit as the Grateful Dead over the next two decades. Produced by bassist John Kahn and also featuring organist Merl Saunders and drummer Ron Tutt, COMPLIMENTS consists almost entirely of an eclectic mix of covers selected by Garcia and Kahn. These range from early rock & roll favorites (Chuck Berry's "Let It Rock" and the Marvelettes' Smokey Robinson-penned "When the Hunter Gets Captured By the Game") to later material (Van Morrison's "He Ain't Give You None" and Dr. John's "What Goes Around"). Garcia even takes on the first of what would be many settings of Irving Berlin's Tin Pan Alley standard "Russian Lullaby," playing acoustic classical guitar. Effortlessly wide-ranging and characteristically loose and good-natured, COMPLIMENTS is a low-key masterpiece that shows off Garcia's often-overlooked interpretive skills.
