The legendary bass player tells the full, true story of his years with Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead in this insightful and entertaining (Austin Chronicle) memoir of life in the greatest improvisational band in American history. In a book as graceful and sublime as a box of rain (New York Times Book Review), the beloved bassist tells the stories behind the songs, tours, and jams in the Grateful Dead's long, strange trip from the 1960s to the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995 and beyond. From Ken Kesey's acid tests to the Summer of Love to bestselling albums and worldwide tours, the Dead's story has never been told as honestly or as memorably as in this remarkable memoir. A fun ride.Even for the most well-read Deadhead, there's enough between the covers to make Searching for the Sound worth a look. --Associated Press. Seller Inventory # CIN0316009989VG
