Jerry Garcia the lead guitarist singer and alleged leader of the Grateful Dead became an icon of the 60s youth movement. It was well-known that Jerry was a huge fan and probably considered himself a player of old-timeAmerican music from mountain fiddle and banjo music to English ballads to jug band music to bluegrass and blues and more. On the 'Shady Grove' recordings one can hear the deep commitment respect and love Jerry had for thistraditional American music. He's very faithful to the original artists' music. That may be surprising if you expect more of an ego-driven 'my version' approach from one the biggest rock stars ever. What you have here is a vibrantcollection of wonderful traditional American songs from a great variety of genres played in a style closely based on their traditional sources. Of course within those parameters we hear wonderful and personal readings of thetunes from both Jerry and mandolinist David Grisman. Dix Bruce has carefully transcribed many of Jerry's solos from the album trying to determine not just what he was playing but how he was playing it. Melodies tablature lyrics and chords are included in arrangements designed to be playable on the guitar while presenting the melodies as closely as possible. Jerry's banjo solos are transcribed here for guitar.

Acquired wisdom has always put Sgt. Pepper at the head of the class but it was Revolver that truly signalled The Beatles' sea change from a functional band to a studio-based ensemble. These changes began before Rubber Soul but came to fruition on Revolver which took an astonishing 300 hours to produce far more than any rock record before it.The making of Revolver hunkered down in Abbey Road with George Martin is in itself a great Beatles story but would be nothing if the results weren't so impactful. More than even Sgt. Pepper and Pet Sounds Revolver fed directly into the rock 'n' rollzeitgeist and its influence could be heard everywhere: from the psychedelic San Francisco sound (Jefferson Airplane Grateful Dead); to the first wave of post-blues hard rock (Sabbath Zeppelin); through movie soundtracks and pretty much everything that followed it including every generation of guitar-based pop music and even heavy metal. More than any record before or after Revolver was the game-changer and this is finally the detailed telling of its storied recording and enormous impact.
