Always like to hear this Phil and Peter monk concoction, it's just burning and reminds you that everyone in the Dead loved Presley's TCB band with James Burton, Jerry accomplice Ron Tutt, Jerry Scheff and Glenn D. Hardin. Gram and the Burritos, not to mention the New Riders, and Commander Cody, were all in pursuit of this kind of sound and the Dead are right there in that post-hippie Cali country milieu.
