Description

The album and its studio follow-up, American Beauty, were recorded back-to-back using a similar style, eschewing the psychedelic experimentation of previous albums in favor of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter’s Americana-styled songcraft. Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty, the companion album that followed months later, were, according to drummer Bill Kreutzmann, both influenced by the Bakersfield sound. He explained “We tried to be like a Bakersfield band – but one that still sounded like we were from 300 miles north of that town … we held to our psychedelic roots. Workingman’s Dead was all about discovering the song … American Beauty became all about having the harmonies to do that”.
