With his solo bands, in a career parallel to the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia performed songs from the great American songbook. He explored the roots repertoire of popular music, ranging from folk, bluegrass and blues to jazz and rock ‘n’ roll, including classic songs of his contemporaries drawn from the same sources. This collection of 86 songs from his solo repertoire highlights a basic language musicians share.
