Laura Nyro....what a talent:
Brother Alex, doing a great rendition of James's "Highway Song":
Great point Jack, they certainly have done some great acoustic stuff over the years. one of my fav acoustic pieces from them:
Jerry playing banjo. Isn't that marvelous! He also played steel guitar. The steel guitar you hear on the recording of "Teach Your Children" by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young is Jerry himself. (Uncredited, I believe.) Per the Interweb, "He did it in exchange for them helping the Grateful Dead improve their vocal harmony."Only Jerry Garcia ventured off into that great piece of work...and the blue grass was second to none...great album
