    I am listening to the Rhino remaster of this, and it sounds great. I don’t revisit this record that often, but despite the autocritiques of everyone involved, to my ears it sounds totally vital.

    Loren, Richard, with Stephen Abney. 2014. High Notes: A Rock Memoir. Demariscotta, ME: East Pond Publishing.

  • Circular on Mickey Hart and Rolling Thunder

    “Mickey Hart: Off the Road and Into His Head,” Circular 4, 36 (September 11, 1972), 2 pp. Warner Brothers pimped Mickey Hart’s Rolling Thunder (BS 2635) in its “weekly news device” Circular for its September 1972 release. As I found with an earlier edition of Circular (“Keith. And, Modernity”), this one holds various pieces of…

  • Elizabeth Cotten

    Elizabeth “Libba” Cotten (née Nevill) (January 5, 1893 – June 29, 1987) was a profoundly original American folk musician, vectoring between the music of isolated early 20th century North Carolina and the multimodal hypersounds of the present – check her out playing in crystal clear black and white on your youtube.

  • Fantasy-Keystone Cross-Promotion

    All Good Things – Jerry Garcia Studio Sessions I can be a picky consumer, but I tip my hat to the market for the quantity and quality of Garcia music that has come available for purchase. Let’s hear it for the price mechanism! I won’t get into detail on the masterful 2004 box All Good…

    John L. Wasserman item in the Datebook of July 23, 1972, p. 25: “The Grateful Dead and crew are currently mixing down some 60 hours of music from their spring tour of Europe for fall release”.

    David Bromberg played the Boarding House, 960 Bush Street (San Francisco, CA,94109) June 13-17, 1972. Robert Dunn wrote a nice review in Night Times. This drew my eye because I recalled that Jerry recorded tracks for Demon in Disguise around this time. Indeed, he did: Table xxx. Jerry Garcia and David Bromberg: Demon in Disguise…
