    About this audiobook

    Listen in on hours of revelatory conversations with Jerry Garcia, one of the most beloved and missed figures in the world of music, with JERRY ON JERRY. More than twenty years after his death, at too young an age, Jerry remains a cultural icon whose influence and legacy endure. Now, these never-before-heard interviews reveal a candid and poignant side of Jerry, as he speaks openly on everything from religion and politics to his personal life and his creative process. Carefully selected by former Grateful Dead publicist and the band's authorized biographer, Dennis McNally, and curated with the cooperation of the Jerry Garcia Family, JERRY ON JERRY marks the first time these insightful and intimate archival recordings have ever been made available to
    the public.
    Here, Garcia talks about what it was like growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, his obsession with his first guitar, and his first encounters with early R&B, which had a profound and lasting impact on his music. After discussing his brief, but eye-opening stint in the army, Jerry offers up stories of his time spent as a student of the Beats, and his personal and reverent memories of Neal Cassady.
    He ponders what he sees as the complicated nature of LSD and the oppressiveness of government.
    He goes on to remember in detail the early days of the Dead, from their first gigs as the Warlocks and their days at 710 Ashbury Street, to the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and performing on the road with Jefferson Airplane. Throughout he breaks to opine on movies (one of his favorite subjects), to open up about his songwriting process and his prolific collaboration with Robert Hunter, and his admiration for a broad range of musicians from the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan to Scotty Stoneman and Bill Keith.
    With an introduction written and read by Dennis McNally, and a foreword written and read by Trixie Garcia, Jerry's daughter, this audiobook is the ultimate complement to any collection. JERRY ON JERRY is one of the most revealing and unguarded portraits of the adored front man of the Grateful Dead and a true, long-awaited gift to his fans.

      Wonderful and insightful.
    • 5/5
      Jerry on Jerry does far more good than bad but by its very nature (pieces of interviews) the flow is sometimes broken. Having said that, I believe wholeheartedly that this is a valuable volume.Dennis McNally does a commendable job giving these interviews some form of flow. The very thing that makes this a wonderful listen (I am reviewing the audio edition), Jerry wandering a bit off topic, also makes it difficult to maintain flow.I think as a fan of his I wanted to give it 5 stars but in fairness to those who might like him and the Dead but not be fans as such I think 4 stars is more accurate. This is definitely recommended for fans, if only to hear Jerry speak. This is also valuable for music historians and musician/songwriters who are still working out how they can best develop their gifts. There are many wonderful tips to be taken away within the various stories and explanations.Reviewed from a copy made available through Goodreads First Reads.
