Fresh Interpretations of American Roots Classics on Vinyl LP!
Featuring the Incredible Soul Vocals of Datrian Johnson!

While playing with Phil Lesh, Luther Dickinson connected with Lesh's son, Grahame, and together they launched Dead Blues—a Phil & Friends offshoot reimagining traditional blues and folk songs from the Grateful Dead catalog.

Originally conceived as a live show concept, Dead Blues evolved into a recording project after Dickinson met vocalist Datrian Johnson, introduced by John Medeski. Inspired by Johnson's soulful voice, the group recorded Dead Blues Vol. 1, offering fresh interpretations of American roots classics.

"I found that writing the music on bass (then adding keys and guitar) led the music down a funky, jazzy avenue, and Datrian worked his magic, reinterpreting the classic blues lyrics and melodies with his soulful vocals," said Dickinson.

The album features North Mississippi Allstars members Cody Dickinson and Rayfield "Ray Ray" Holloman, along with Memphis collaborators Paul Taylor (New Memphis Colorways) and Steve Selvidge.
