Grateful Dead - American Beauty .jpg) .gif) By Rickey Wright
Who says discipline is a bad thing? No one who's heard American
Beauty, the Dead's greatest studio achievement. Showcasing 10 concise,
country-rooted gems that sound equally good whether you're hanging on the
front porch in the afternoon or nursing a bottle after hours, this one
could win over many an anti-Jerry. Bewildered by loss both personal and
social--the hippie dream was quickly crashing by Beauty's 1970
release date--the band put its querulousness ("Box of Rain") and
wry humor ("Truckin'") into the service of a masterwork. The
most impressive cut of all may be "Ripple," Garcia's spiritual
credo.
