This unique album showcases the band’s captivating live performances, bringing together bluegrass, folk, and Americana with a touch of Jerry Garcia’s unmistakable style.
A Legendary Live Experience
In March 1987, Jerry Garcia, David Nelson, Sandy Rothman, and John Kahn performed a six-song set at a benefit concert at the Fillmore. This talented group, with the addition of David Kemper and Kenny Kosek, later became the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band, opening for electric Jerry Garcia Band sets between 1987 and 1988. Almost Acoustic honors the works of Jimmie Rodgers and Mississippi John Hurt with covers of bluegrass and folk classics such as “Blue Yodel 9” and “Spike Driver Blues,” along with other traditional favorites including “I’ve Been All Around this World” and “Deep Elem Blues,” plus the Garcia/Hunter masterpiece “Ripple.”
