 (3 Customer Reviews)
Bob Dylan & The Grateful Dead: Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir (vocals, guitar); Brent Mydland (keyboards); Phil Lesh (bass); Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann (percussion).
This document of the historic summer-of-1987 live pairing of the rock era's premier singer/songwriter and its longest-running psychedelic adventure-cum-sideshow is not nearly as great as the shows themselves were. Yet, it exemplifies rather eloquently what each brought to the party. Dylan, obviously, brought the tunes--but not just the acknowledged classics. As the dry reading of "Joey," his mid-'70s tribute to gangster Joey Gallo, rightfully suggests, Dylan kept the Dead on their toes with his choices. The Dead, of course, brought their indescribable way with a song, their ability to turn any tune into a jam-friendly, lyrical boogie. And as the opening "Slow Train Coming" rightfully suggests, when this weird combo of talents clicked, every dusty corner of Dylan's catalog got a unique makeover.
Recorded live in July, 1987.

Bob Dylan Dylan & The Dead Songs Dylan & The Dead Music Review Average Rating: (2.3 out of 5 stars)   A Messy Sounding Live Album, But Not Without Merit
"Dylan and The Dead" is definately a pretty dreadful mess, and it's easy to understand why. Dylan sounded as if he was just going through the motions, and his voice can sound downright irritating on some tracks. It's very difficult to even understand the words. The Dead sound unfocused at times as well, although Jerry Garcia's spectacular guitar playing helps keep the album afloat. However, despite the album's flaws, I do find a hidden strength in it. There is something about this LP which enables me to rank it in a so-bad-it's-good category. That doesn't mean I qualify "Dylan and The Dead" to be a great album, and it's far from great, but it's unique in its own peculiar way. I do love the versions of "Slow Train" and "Queen Jane Approximately" on here as well.

Dead made a good backing band for Dylan
Give this CD a listen if you're a Dead and Dylan fan. You'll probably like it.

Dylan & The Dead CD music
 $24.29  
Taking the place of the obligatory cd two-fer of GP and GREVIOUS ANGEL, Gram Parsons's THE COMPLETE REPRISE SESSIONS covers it all and then some for Grampires of all stripes. Produced by Emmylou Harris and Parsons cohort James Austin, this beautifully designed three-disc set includes one disc devoted to each solo record and a third featuring outtakes from each album's sessions. With fewer overdubs and Gram and Emmylou's vocals front-and-center in the mix, the final disc brims with the emotive soul and earthbound angelic vocals the two perfected. Among the final discs many highlights are looser alternate takes of "She" and "Streets of Baltimore" from GP and a "Hickory Wind" unadorned by the ridiculous fake crowd noise that mars the GRIEVOUS ANGEL version. The latter is the best and most stirring recorded performance of Parsons's signature song and alone worth the box's sticker price. Other ...

| | Bob Dylan New Morning CD (1970) Reissue; Remastered; Digipak
Dylan & The Dead songs
$6.25
Also available in a 3-pack with NASHVILLE SKYLINE and JOHN WESLEY HARDING.
Following the critical and commercial drubbing that SELF PORTRAIT received, Dylan returned to form with NEW MORNING. With its sepia-colored cover photo of a somewhat rabbinical-looking Dylan, this is a gentle, eclectic album in which the artist celebrates married life and living in the country. He sings about domestic bliss on "The Man in Me" and of the simple joy of being called 'pa' by his kids on "Sign in the Window." This was perhaps the last time that Dylan would release a collection of songs so free of his trademark bile. "If Not For You," for example, is gently, poetically romantic.
Much of the music bears some ...

Master Classics' Blues Anthology is an outstanding unified retrospective capturing B.B. King's early forays into ballads, big-band arrangements, and modern electric Memphis blues. Disc one contains over a dozen tracks, mainly recorded between 1949 and 1960, highlighted by "From the Bottom" by Sonny Boy Williamson & His House Rockers from 1954 with B.B. on guitar and a late-'50s take of "Everyday I Have the Blues" featuring B.B. singing with the Count Basie Orchestra.
