Althea
I've not had time to make any recordings or work up any new songs lately, but in the interest of not letting this thread "go dead" I dug up this Althea that I did several years ago. I remember hearing this tune for the first time live, before it was released on an album, and it grabbed me immediately. It's long and boring and has no chorus....perfection

Thanks Ray, yes seems to cover such an iconic cover is OK .Would be I guess something like covering JH's cover of All Along The Watch Tower

Because of this thread I have discovered some more songs I would like to cover As I noted I was never really a Dead Head per se. But I did own and wear the grooves out the first album

The whole culture around the "Deadhead" label turns off some folks, and can overshadow the music. I learned about Chuck Berry, country music, bluegrass and jug bands because Jerry Garcia dug that stuff and played it in lots of different formats. When people tell me they don't like Truckin' I get that, but it's a shame they don't dig any deeper, as GD interpreted the whole history of American popular music. And I'm not excluding jazz, Ornette Coleman and Branford Marsalis, David Murray and Cecil Taylor all played with and/or dug the GD. Sorry I got carried away there, really glad you enjoyed some of the tunes in the thread

To be clear to me, Dead Head is simply devoted fan, nothing more

Me, too. Some folks read a lot more into it when they find out you liked this band, especially if you went to the concerts.........

Just as threads of this sort are popping up like wildfire, I get a hair up my..., well I decided to record another Dead tune. It's an old Calypso song covered by a bunch of folks, including the Dead. It's just a really fun song to play. And two chords, so it's a quick one to do.

Wake'n this bad boy up again, although it appears to be Dead (but Grateful). This has been done once or twice already in the thread, but I recorded it for my baby Granddaughter, who seems to be quite entertained when her Pop Pop plays and sings to her (hey, she's only 7 months old - tastes evolve). So I thought I'd toss it up here too.

Nice one, Ray! Way to keep the thread going. I’m going to look for one more to try to work up.
I have a 14 month old granddaughter. Her favorite song is Ripple, really calms her down

Nice one Ray. Let's keep it alive! I will go to see Dead and Co with my two sons and their cousin in Saratoga Springs this Friday and may be inspired to do a new one.
