Sy Klopps CD discography Robert Hunter, lyricist for the Grateful Dead, used to complain that the band made sparing use of his services in its latter days and then sometimes went years before it got around to recording songs of his it had been performing in concert. Since the band's demise, however, Hunter has gotten a lot more work as the individual members have turned to him for material. Hunter wrote the lyrics for eight of the 11 songs -- which is all but one of the songs that have lyrics -- on the debut album by the TriChromes, featuring former Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann.

Sy Klopps music CDs Sy Klopps' Berkeley Soul starts off with a jumping blues ("Running Blue") before settling into a 1960s-type soul/R&B date that includes Marvin Gaye's "Wherever I Lay My Hat," Sam Cooke's "You Gotta Move," and Little Willie John's "Walk Slow," along with some more exuberant tunes.
