Yesterday was Jerry Garcia’s birthday, so there were a bunch of articles paying tribute to different aspects of his career. This album is supposed to be one of the earliest known recordings of Jerry.

One of the genres that I am mournfully poorly-versed in is Dance, so it works to my advantage that I know quite a few people that love that scene.

A friend of mine recommended that I check out this artist. He has known them for years from doing session work with them while in the Dallas music scene. I enjoyed this one thoroughly and will be checking them out when they come through on their big, post-Covid tour.
