Almost Acoustic

The beloved group is spotlighted with a newly remastered version of 1988's long out-of-print 'Almost Acoustic,' the sextet's sole release, and the much awaited arrival of its sequel, 'Ragged But Right.'

'Almost Acoustic' presents a sprightly selection of performances recorded during shows at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles and The Warfield in San Francisco. The album's 14 tracks include tunes popularized by the likes of Jimmie Rodgers ('Blue Yodel #9 [Standin' On The Corner]'), Tex Logan ('Diamond Joe'), and Mississippi John Hurt ('Spike Driver Blues.') Also featured is 'Ripple,' which was written by Garcia and longtime Dead lyricist Robert Hunter.
