About The Record:

Garcia, by Jerry Garcia, was his debut solo album, showcasing his work outside the Grateful Dead with a blend of folk, rock, and country influences. Recorded at Wally Heider's Studio in San Francisco, it featured contributions from Grateful Dead members like Bill Kreutzmann and guest artists such as Merl Saunders. The album is historically significant as it marked Garcia's exploration of personal songwriting and studio experimentation during a peak creative period for the Grateful Dead. Notable tracks include Deal and Sugaree, with Sugaree becoming a beloved staple in Garcia's live performances, though no singles from the album charted as major hits. The album's laid-back, introspective vibe and Garcia's distinctive guitar work solidified its cult status among fans.
