While no new Grateful Dead album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1974 tour in Africa. Grateful Dead’s debut, ‘Skeletons from the Closet: The Best of the Grateful Dead’, does not fit easily into one genre. Thom Yorke has compared writing for Grateful Dead’s new album to that on ‘Skeletons from the Closet: The Best of the Grateful Dead’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This album is a scorcher!
Strong, powerful vocals of Grateful Dead in Truckin’ are very impressive. In Rosemary the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Sugar Magnolia is one of the coolest songs Grateful Dead has ever recorded. When I listen to St. Stephen in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Uncle John’s Band - I just love it. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Mexicali Blues is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Turn On Your Love Light is probably the most interesting track on Skeletons from the Closet: The Best of the Grateful Dead. This song may be the most meaningful. Friend Of The Devil is a striking and quite long song.
