Grateful Dead Sleep Stories | The Detroit Soul Records Jerry Garcia Carried Into the Grateful Dead and more

Show by GD Sleep Strories
Tonight, one long thread through the whole story of the Grateful Dead: the soul music. The Detroit records, the rhythm and blues and the Motown hits that Jerry Garcia loved, carried with him, and kept playing, one way or another, for thirty years. It came in through a record player in a borrowed room, through a disc jockey's son with a harmonica, and through bar sets in a lounge with no windows. Long after the hippie years, Garcia was still on the road with a Hammond organ and a pair of gospel singers. A long, calm story for a long night.
