McCree's Uptown Jug Champion review
Mother McCree’s Uptown
Jug Champions were a precursor to the Grateful Dead. This acoustic
jug band has three members that went on to found the Grateful Dead,
Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and Ron “PigPen” McKernan.
The material on the
self-titled CD was recorded live, probably at The Tangent in Palo
Alto, CA. Several of the songs included on this release became
staples in the Grateful Dead’s repertoire such as "Ain't it
Crazy," "On the Road Again," "The Monkey and the
Engineer," and "Beat it on Down the Line."
The music is fun and
interesting and provides an interesting historical background of the
rock ‘n’ roll legend -- the Grateful Dead. by Barry

This
CD hard to find. I saw it at the Grateful Dead website in the
