Description

It was the band’s third album on their own Grateful Dead Records label and their third studio album in a row. Blues for Allah was the group’s highest-charting album until 1987’s In the Dark, reaching No. 12 during a 13 week stay on the Billboard Album Chart. Notable cuts from the album include “The Music Never Stopped”, “Franklin’s Tower” and “Help on the Way”.

The front cover artwork features an iconic image of a frizzy-haired, fiddling skeleton, wearing a crimson robe and sunglasses, sitting in the window of an ancient rock wall. The work, titled “The Fiddler”, was painted in the summer of 1974 by Phillip Garris.
