Active compensatory factors: I'm not sure I could ordinarily tell the difference in a blind taste test between late seventies Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia 'solo' albums.

After all, all of the Dead appear on this, songs are also mostly Garcia/Hunter compositions, and Garcia's distinctive voice/guitar style are features of both.
However, this one comes between the Dead's Blues for Allah and Terrapin Station and it's way less experimental and adventurous than those albums. The boys and Donna are instead in a more laid back groove - which is fine and dandy to my ears. I guess he just had some songs and some down time during the Grateful Dead's mid seventies hiatus.
For a hippy, he and the rest of the gang certainly had a great work ethic.
Where do they all belong? One further solo Garcia album to find - Compliments.
