Phil Lesh (March 15, 1940 – October 25, 2024)
Grateful Dead (7 Albums)
lovely tribute to Phil Lesh bassplayer of the Grateful Dead with seven album selection from Urbanaspirines’ Kostas does his usual thorough and extensive review of a master who frankly reinvented the instrument he mastered!
Philip Chapman Lesh (March 15, 1940 – October 25, 2024)was an American musician and a founding member of the Grateful Dead, with whom he played bass guitar throughout their 30-year career.
After the band's disbanding in 1995, Lesh continued the tradition of Grateful Dead family music with side project Phil Lesh and Friends, which paid homage to the Dead's music by playing their repertoire, as well as songs of the members of his own group.
From the debut album (here to classic like American Beauty to Working Man’s Dead to Live Dead Anthem of the Sun to Aoxomoxoa, Skull & Roses of 1971 seven of the most classic Dead albums assessed and revisited here. I went through a mini jag of listening to the Dead again last year and listened to over some thirty albums but these seven are worthy of anyone’s collection. If you don’t have ANY (where ya bin!?) then these will do nicely and all feature Phil I think!
