Our Take

Ah, the Grateful Dead - a band known for their blend of psychedelic rock, folk, and blues, and a fanbase that could rival the size of some small countries. Wake Of The Flood, released 50 years ago, marked a new era for the band as they navigated the waters of a post-Jerry Garcia world. Now, on its deluxe anniversary edition, we dive back into the swirling currents of this seminal album.

The album kicks off with "Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo," a rollicking track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Jerry Garcia's guitar work is as mesmerising as ever, weaving in and out of Bob Weir's soulful vocals like a musical tapestry. The addition of horns and strings on tracks like "Eyes of the World" and "Here Comes Sunshine" adds an extra layer of depth to the band's sound, pushing them beyond their traditional boundaries.

But it's not all sunshine and roses on Wake Of The Flood - tracks like "Weather Report Suite" and "Stella Blue" show the band exploring darker, more introspective themes. It's a testament to their versatility and willingness to push the boundaries of what a rock band can achieve.

Overall, this deluxe edition of Wake Of The Flood is a must-have for any Grateful Dead fan. It's a snapshot of a band at the height of their powers, pushing the boundaries of what rock music can be. So grab your tie-dye shirt, light up a joint, and let the music take you on a journey through the psychedelic waters of the Grateful Dead. Peace, love, and rock 'n' roll, man.
