I mentioned yesterday how the “Pizza Tapes” are what really got me into the Dead. Up until then, I had no idea about the amount of influence that country music had on Jerry Garcia.

Live at Plan 9 July 13th, 2006 – Drive-By Truckers I featured a Drive-By Truckers song that was really a Jason Isbell song, so I decided to make it up to them by featuring an entire album of theirs. I was debating about which studio album to look at, but ended up going with one… Read more
