4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely JGB Album, May 2, 1999

By A Customer

"Cats" is a great , great album , especially for the Dead Heads. The only reason I give it only four stars is because it is a relatively short album , and when it's over you just want to play it again . Donna Godshaux shines on this record , she was great in the studio ,when the rest of the Dead felt out of place . You will love this record , quintessential sweet American music given to us by that smiling gunslinger , Mr. Garcia.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best JGB albums going..., June 30, 1998

By	Brent Leatherman (Rathdrum, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Cats Under the Stars" is one of the best JGB albums out - w/o a doubt my personal favorite. More folksy than bluesy, it's a nice listen from the very first song - Rueben and Cherise, through Palm Sunday and the title cut. The only fault I have with this album is that it's not long enough - at 35 minutes, I'm ready for more in the same vein. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grateful Dead-member's best album, September 17, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Helsinki, Finland (Scandinavia)) - See all my reviews

Still a member of the legendary Grateful Dead, Gerry Garcia and his band released his "Cats Under The Stars". The record has a very good puruading rhythm from the first sweet tunes of Rubin and Cheris onto the last piece of the album. Personally I could have done without the Rhapsody in Red if one were to point out any minus with this record. If you like the Grateful Dead Album "Terrapin Station"('77) you're bound to dig this one as well. And If you don't know Terrapin Station either, you have two good albums to hunt.
