Music and Words With Jerry Garcia And Robert Hunter, The Series (Part Eight) [VIDEO]

'Blues For Allah' is one of the more adventorous albums from the band's first decade of recording,

'Blues For Allah' makes its mark quickly with the inclusion of two expert Garcia-Hunter songs, "Help on the Way" and "Franklin's Tower," the latter highlighted by its cheerful "roll away... the dew" chorus.

The feel of reggae is in the air with the song "Crazy Fingers" which is just another great example of the union the two men established

"Your rain falls like crazy fingers
Peals of fragile thunder keeping time
Recall the days that still are to come some sing blue.
Hang your heart on laughing willow stray
Down to the water, deep sea of love
Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea swift undertow." (Garcia/Hunter)
