Excellent album, this and its companion piece American Beauty are like nothing else in the Dead's cannon. These are quite excellent albums that one need not be a dead head to enjoy. Great folk rock album with a nice psychedelic dead twist to it.

This, American Beauty, and Reckoning are probably the only studio albums to pay much mind to. Black Peter is a really great song.

Casey Jones is a favorite.

top 5 album for sure from the Dead.

I like the album, although I can easily take a pass on Casey Jones.
