Cumberland Blues, by the Grateful Dead.
Well, it’s been a whole 20 days or so since I did a Dead song, so here we are. This song leads off Europe ’72, I think? The ridiculous harmonies (?) in the first verse made me so happy when I put this on in the car this week, I decided to try it out myself.
The great thing about having only been to two Dead shows, is it’s pretty easy to remember some of what they played, and I can always look it up, and probably even listen to the shows without much trouble. I think they opened the first show I went to with In The Midnight Hour, which was fun, and during the second show they played Terrapin Station, which I was told at the time was a treat, and it was a treat.

Probably should’ve laid down a nice clean brush/train drum loop, but I did the vocal first, so my MIDI keyboard drums are, uh, present. The whole thing is kinda chaotic, rather than locked in, really, the opposite of locked in, mostly. Loose out? I dunno.
