Item description from seller

Paperback. Released in 1970, Workingmans Dead was the breakthrough album for the Grateful Dead, a cold-water-shock departure from the Acid Test madness of the late 60s. It was the bands most commercially and critically successful release to date. More importantly, these songs established the blueprint for how the Dead would maintain and build upon a community held together by the core motivation of rejecting the status quo the straight life in order to live and work on their own terms. As a unified whole, the albums eight songs serve as points of entry into a fully-rendered portrait of the Grateful Dead within the context of late twentieth-century American history. These songs speak to the attendant cultural and political anxieties that resulted from the idealism of the 60s giving way to the uncomfortable realities of the 70s, and the bands evolving perspective on these changes. Based on research, interviews, and personal experience, this book probes the paradox at the heart of the bands appeal: the Grateful Dead were about much more than music, though they were really just about the music. An intimate portrait of the 1970 Grateful Dead album, Workingman's Dead, charting its influences and historical importance. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
