Description

A landmark shift in the Dead’s sonic journey, Workingman’s Dead trades psychedelic sprawl for rootsy clarity—eight tracks of warm harmonies, acoustic textures, and lyrical storytelling that echo the influence of Crosby, Stills & Nash and the American folk revival. Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter’s song writing partnership shines here, crafting timeless tales of outlaws, railroads, and cosmic Americana.

This 50th Anniversary Edition is remastered from the original analogue tapes by Grammy-winning engineer David Glasser and pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Housed in a faithful reproduction of the original sleeve, with cover art by Mouse Studios, it’s a pristine tribute to one of the Dead’s most beloved studio albums.
