Music reviews of Rolling Thunder
Music Review: Seminal piece from the Marin County Musical Mafia
Rating: 4 Stars
I can't agree with the other reviewer's lukewarm rating, but like most things in life, he is not hallucinating when he describes the difference in sounds. No, this is not a continuously-themed concept album, but it is a collection of some great tunes, some even historic, performed and embellished by some of the greatest musicians to come from the Bay Area music scene. The album's cover art is one of the best Kelly/Mouse designs ever, and screams at you that something special is going on here. The Shoshone Invocation, delivered by Rolling Thunder himself, kicks things off, then transitions from marimbas in 10/4 time to the sound of rain, then leads into a special version of the Grateful Dead song "Playing in the Band," titled as "The Main Ten." John Cipollina's guitar licks are in classic fluid form here, and this version informs your understanding of all the other versions. Rather than do a blow-by-blow, check out who plays what here: http://www.gdforum.com/store/music/gdcdthun.html
Other highlights:
"Blind John," a Jefferson Airplane song you may have never seen on an album (I saw it live during the Thirty Seconds over Winterland show)
"Deep Wide and Frequent," which is a jam, featuring stellar guitarists Jerry Garcia, John Cipollina, and Terry Haggerty
"Pump Song" features the water pump of Mickey Hart's ranch, and is the same song as "Greatest Story Ever Told."
"Hangin' On" is a great album closer, and features great vocals by David Freiberg, who sings on other songs as well, and Cipollina and Barry Melton, two of the greatest SG guitarists of the era, dueling it out.
A true must-have for any true Deadhead.
