Grateful Dead – The Best of: Skeletons From the Closet LP Online

The long strange trip the Grateful Dead began with Warner Bros in the late 60s culminated in this concise, pretty darn solid attempt at an early Best Of, appropriately called Skeletons In The Closet! The Dead would never be best known for their studio recordings, but this really is a good reminder that the band wrote and recorded a lot of wonderful songs in their heyday that feel uniquely, distinctively Dead even in the 3 to 6 minute studio versions. It s a worthy reminder of that for eternal fans, and an even better gateway to Dead fandom for newcomers. Includes Truckin , Sugar Magnolia , St. Stephen , Uncle John s Band , Casey Jones , Mexicali Blues , Turn On Your Love Light , One More Saturday Night , Friend Of The Devil and more.
