This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

Of course Garcia singing lead makes this one completely unique, but his wirey, Bakersfield Fender puts this one over the top. Just a svelte vibe.

Just revisited - this one's naked and lovely. Super smooth ride. Velvety even.
