Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band Ragged but Right 2LP

Ragged but Right is the second live album by the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band, recorded in October 1987 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York City and in December 1987 at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles and the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco. It was originally released on November 16, 2010, 22 years after the band's first album, Almost Acoustic.

The Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band existed from the summer of 1987 to the summer of 1988, and played fewer than 30 concerts. Led by Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead, the band included three members of the 1964 bluegrass band the Black Mountain Boys — Garcia on guitar and vocals, David Nelson of the New Riders of the Purple Sage on guitar and vocals, and Sandy Rothman on mandolin, dobro, banjo, and vocals — plus long-time Garcia collaborator John Kahn on acoustic bass, Kenny Kosek on fiddle, and David Kemper on snare drum.

Grateful Dead fans may take special interest in the version of 'Goodnight Irene,' which is rearranged so differently from familiar renditions that it's practically a different song, at least in terms of the music; it sounds like it could have been on Garcia's first solo album from 1972.
