    Grateful Dead, Anthem of the Sun, 1968 on Warner Bros / Seven Arts

    David Bromberg, Wanted Dead or Alive, 1974 on Columbia

    I’m a huge David Bromberg fan – he’s an under-appreciated player in the universe of bluegrass/blues/folk/jazz. This was his third LP. One side was recorded with Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Keith Godchaux and Bill Kreutzmann (of the Grateful Dead) and the other side was recorded live. The opener “The Holdup” was cowritten with George Harrison,…
