Sometimes, it takes a village to get into the details of an oft-forgotten Grateful Dead song. Many thanks to the guests who helped us explore “Let Me Sing Your Blues Away.”

 

Guitarist Scott Metzger is a member of Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, leads WOLF!, and is on tour with LaMP this fall. Last year, he put out the gorgeous instrumental acoustic guitar album Too Close To Reason.

 

Marc Masters’ new book, High Bias: The Distorted History of the Cassette Tape is out in October via the University of North Carolina Press.

 

Dave Mandl hosts the righteous show It’s Complicated on the freeform radio station WFMU.

 

I wrote extensively about the early taping scene in my book (and audiobook) Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America and drew on some of the source interviews for this Deadcast episode), and likewise wrote in more detail about Marty Weinberg’s early taping adventures for Relix.
