2.0 out of 5 starsA Shame
By A Customer on July 16, 2001
Format: Audio CD
As both a GD fan and a blue grass one, I was expecting so much more from this CD. It really should have been a no-brainer: take some of the more folkish GD songs (God knows there are plenty), get some top blue grass performers and let them have fun with them. Instead, what you get is a series of songs delivered in a sterile, flat, overly scripted manner with no spontaneity and no improvisation.
There is only one song on the CD that really catches the spirit of blue grass and shows what this CD could have been, and that is Going Down the Road Feeling Bad. Interestingly, this is not even a GD original, but an old folk song covered by many blue grass artists (ex. Flatt and Scruggs' 'Lonesome Road Blues'). In short, the performers go wild with it, give it the full blue grass treatment, and deliver a very, very interesting version. Why they could not do the same with all of the other songs is a mystery.
This could hardly qualify as a tribute album.

5.0 out of 5 starsYes, its really that good
By D. Pitts on November 19, 2013
Format: MP3 Music Verified Purchase
This sucker is a classic! I usually play it as background music, especially for parties or with company, and everyone loves it. The Dead songs are clearly identifiable, the music is brilliantly performed, and its a total delight to listen to.

2.0 out of 5 starsGreat Idea - Bad Execution
By A Customer on June 22, 2000
Format: Audio CD
I listened to this CD a few times, and I tried my hardest to like it, but the more I listen, the more flat and unimaginative it sounds. It's too bad, because I love bluegrass and the Grateful Dead.

5.0 out of 5 starsJUST PLAIN, GOOD OLD FUN!!!
By Armando de Ron Santiago on January 26, 2016
Format: MP3 Music
I am a veteran deadhead having attended several hundred live shows across the decades. Yes I'm old . Both volume 1 and two of picking on the Grateful Dead are just great fun with excellent performances by extremely talented musicians ! Now judging from the negative reviews it seems that there are two schools of haters out there, ignore them both and enjoy ! As for the pseudo-deadheads which complained about this album not capturing the energy of live dead apparently they have never listened to a studio album by the Grateful Dead. Perhaps they can pool their money together and hre the Dark Star Orchestra to produce their own live Dead bluegrass album. As for the diehard bluegrass critics, I can assure you that there is plenty of nasal droning out there for you to set the mood when having relations with your siblings .

1.0 out of 5 starsMuzak muzak muzak
By C. ROMANOFSKY on August 6, 2000
Format: Audio CD
What a great idea! What a flat, boring, soulless execution! It sounds like a bunch of couldn't-care-less paid by the hour studio guys who might have just finished laying down a track for a McDonalds commercial stepped into a studio, were given the charts, played what was written, and packed up and went home. Big disappointment. Now I see they have a part II of this - unbelievable. None of the energy and joy that infuses bluegrass, nor any of the magic and beauty the is the Grateful Dead, made it on to this sorry rip-off. Save your money.

3.0 out of 5 starsSome Fun Pickin'
By troutdogz on February 13, 2006
Format: Audio CD
While niether David Grisman nor Old & In The Way, this CD should delight those who appreciate Dead tunes presented in less than familiar ways. Truckin' can't be remastered in a quasi-bluegrass steel pedal version to the satisfaction of any true deadhead, yet this version reminds us that their music is timeless and transcends definition. The little blast of "I Know You Rider", among many others during Bird Song reminisceses of the anticipation at a show, wondering where it was leading. Dark Star done in this particular environment begs the intensity, yet conveys a similar sense of wonder. Overall, the mandolin soloing in this compilation is very interesting and will motivate those basement pickers to relisten to the original show tapes to find their place in an historic place in the evolution of roots americana.

5.0 out of 5 starsBad Reviews????
By Eric J on May 29, 2011
Format: Audio CD
What is up with the bad reviews?? This is some good stuff. Jerry Garcia would have loved this. Actually i bet he would be playing with them if he was still alive. This is a great cd don't let these other bad reviews scare you off.If you like awesome bluegrass then this is for you.

5.0 out of 5 starsOutstanding Pickin' great for chillin' out or dancin' around
By A Customer on July 30, 1999
Format: Audio CD
As we all know, Jerry had a bluegrass background and many of the songs he wrote/co-wrote had a major bluegrass influence on the arrangement. Even the way he sang certain songs had that "twangy" bluegrass sound. Therefore, this music needs no interpretation or rearrangement as suggested in reviews below, but sounds perfect played "as is". If you like bluegrass music, or pickin' of any kind, you'll relly like this disk, even if your not a dead-head. If your into the dead, then all the more reason to get this great disk. Bad reviews below are people looking for something more from the dead themselves. This disk was my first in the "Pickin' on" catalog but not my last. Many of the others are great as well. Lady with a fan is awesome!
