Title:  Tiger Rose

Date:  1975

Label:  Round Records   RX-105

Anti-Producer:  Mickey Hart

Art and Design:  Kelley & Mouse

Notes:  Here's a record for the Deadheads out there. There's a  stellar line up here to assist Dead lyricist and Jerry Garcia's partner in crime with an album of his own. While Hunter's voice can be an acquired taste there's doubting the source of the stories he tells. Wind from the desert, from the plains and blown across the back porches of an older America come from the lungs and soul of the author. All new, but with a familiar feels as if we've heard them before. It takes a unique talent to write a song that is both new and instantly recognizable. Kelley/Mouse ring in with another stunning cover to add to their canon.

Robert Hunter: vocals and songs
Jerry Garcia: guitar, piano, synthesizer, pedal steel
