Garcia: An American Life by Blair Jackson
He was there when Dylan went electric, when a generation danced naked at Woodstock, and when Ken Kesey started experimenting with acid. Jerry Garcia 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, Blair Jackson, 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 With more than forty photographs, many of them previously unpublished, Garcia: An American Life is the ultimate tribute to the man who, Bob Dylan said, "had no equal."Blair Jackson has written many books about the Grateful Dead, including Garcia: An American Life, Grateful Dead Gear: The Band's Instruments, Sound Systems, and Recorded Sessions from 1965 to 1995, and Grateful Dead: The Music Never Stopped.
