Listen to the musical roots of the Grateful Dead | Boing Boing

Before the Grateful Dead, there was Woody Guthrie, Elizabeth Cotten, Lead Belly, Big Mama Thornton, and countless other country, bluegrass, folk, and blues artists. Indeed, Jerry Garcia frequently praised Harry Smith’s incredible Anthology of American Folk Music, released by Folkways Records in 1952, as a major influence.
