STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY CELLOPHANE
Original 1970 first pressing on the (olive green) Warner Brothers label
The Grateful Dead were already established as paragons of the free-form, improvisational San Francisco psychedelic sound when they abruptly shifted gears for the rural injections in Workingman's Dead, a lovely exploration of American roots music illuminating the group's psych, blues, and folk influences. The lilting "Uncle John's Band," their first radio hit, opens the record and perfectly summarizes its subtle, spare beauty; complete with a new focus on more concise songs and tighter arrangements, the approach works brilliantly. Despite its sharp contrast to the epic live space jams on which the group's legend primarily rests, Workingman's Dead nonetheless spotlights the Dead at their most engaging, stripped of all excess to reveal the true essence of their craft. Highlights abound and never sounded better... the original first release from 40 years ago:
Side one
"Uncle John's Band" – 4:42
"High Time" – 5:12
"Dire Wolf" – 3:11
"New Speedway Boogie" – 4:01
Side two

"Black Peter" – 5:41
"Easy Wind" – 4:57
"Casey Jones" – 4:24
