WARNER BROS The Grateful Dead - Workingman'S Dead
Workingman's Dead and its successor American Beauty from later in 1970, are the Dead albums even non-Deadheads embrace. With these two new-decade statements, the group reigned in its demonstrative instrumental side in favour of a pithier presentation of prize tunes. The opener, "Uncle John's Band", signalled that this was a relatively streamlined Dead. "Dire Wolf", "Cumberland Blues" and "Casey Jones" hammer the point home: the Grateful Dead could set aside the jams for a while and make a great album. --Steven Stolder
