Group's First Live Album on Double LP!
Originally released in 1988, Almost Acoustic features live recordings from the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band's fall 1987 tour stops at The Wiltern in Los Angeles and the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco. Joined by Garcia are David Nelson, Sandy Rothman, John Kahn, Kenny Kosek, and David Kemper. The performances herein honor the works of Jimmie Rodgers and Mississippi John Hurt with covers of bluegrass and folk classics, plus other traditional favorites.
A brilliant insight into Jerry Garcia's uncanny abilities as a guitarist of remarkable breadth.
