Garcia : An American Life

Garcia : An American Life

He was there when <b>Dylan</b> went electric, when a generation danced naked at Woodstock, and when <b>Ken Kesey</b> started experimenting with acid. <b>Jerry Garcia</b> was one of the most gifted musicians of all time, and he was a member of one of the most worshiped rock 'n' roll bands in history. Now, <b>Blair Jackson</b>, who covered the Grateful Dead for twenty-five years, gives us an unparalleled portrait of Garcia--the musical genius, the brilliant songwriter, and ultimately, the tortured soul plagued by his own addiction. With more than forty photographs, many of them previously unpublished, <b>Garcia: An American Life</b> is the ultimate tribute to the man who, Bob Dylan said, "had no equal."
