Strolling Bones Records - Dead Blues Volume 1 CD

Experience a unique musical fusion with Dead Blues Volume 1 from Strolling Bones Records. This album grew from a series of live shows originally designed to bring new talent from the blues and rock scenes into the orbit of the Grateful Dead community. By using traditional blues and folk songs from the Dead catalog as a foundation, these sessions bridge the gap between classic jam band traditions and authentic blues roots. This collection captures the spirit of the Dead Blues concept, featuring collaborations that brought legendary artists together. The project features standout performances including work with singer Datrian Johnson and reflects the energy of live shows that introduced Phil Lesh to artists like the Blind Boys of Alabama, Charlie Musselwhite, G Love, and JD Simo. Whether you are a fan of blues rock or the Grateful Dead legacy, this album offers a fresh perspective on familiar songs through the lens of diverse musical influences.
