Jim Lauderdale will join Jay Farrar, Mark Eitzel, Dan Zanes and the Klezmatics in the honors. The full press release on those shows are included below.... THE AMERICAN BEAUTY PROJECT In 1970 the Grateful Dead entered the studio to record two albums, Workingman's Dead and American Beauty. These albums would go on to become legendary in the annals of music history and serve as early benchmarks in the Dead's oeuvre. They marked a departure from the band's original "jam" sound and a profound exploration of folk and bluegrass musical traditions. In homage to the influence these albums had on the future of music, an exceptional roster of acclaimed musicians comes together to interpret each of the albums' songs. The American Beauty Project featuring:
The "Workingman's Dead" Evening Saturday, January 20, 8pm Winter Garden Despite being released in June 1970, this record sounds more like a relic from America's musical past. Demonstrating the symbiotic relationship between Jerry Garcia and lyricist Robert Hunter, "Workingman's" recounts tales of miners, outlaws, and ladies of the night, and proved that the band could come down from the cosmos and reclaim terra firma. An "American Beauty" Night Sunday, January 21, 8pm Winter Garden The second of the Dead's 1970 albums, "American Beauty" continued in the path that "Workingman's" had started, though it went one step further and was recorded without any of Garcia's trademark solos and was primarily acoustic. What one hears in this album are tales of maturation, songs that reflected the band's experiences with mortality. Media sponsorship is provided by WFUV Radio and WBJB 90.5 "The Night." |
