The good ol' Grateful Dead. Anathema to many, savior to many
more. Nobody (Jesus Christ and the Pope being the possible
exceptions) has a more devoted following than the Dead, who
through several generations have survived and thrived on the
strength of their live shows (always at the top in
attendance and gate receipts), avoiding the usual "music
business" rigamarole. Still, the Dead are back to play the
game one mo' time with In The Dark, their first studio
release since 1981's Go To Heaven. Like so many Dead albums
before it, In The Dark doesn't capture the true energy,
fragile chemistry and strange magic of the band, but it's
their best studio LP since Blues For Allah. It won't thrill
Deadheads (who've all heard these songs before), but it
should give the band and their fans the perverse
satisfaction of watching the "real world" respond to yet
another Grateful Dead "comeback" (see Rolling Stone's recent
cover). Besides, what could be more fitting in the 20th
anniversary of the Summer of Love than an album from Jerry
Garcia (Father Time himself) and company? AOR programmers
are already reliving their glory daze with the Garcia-penned
single "Touch Of Grey" (kinda suits `em anyway), but it's
Bob Weir's "West L.A. Fadeaway" (about John Belushi) and the
apocalyptic "Throwing Stones" that provide for the
album's best moments. The Grateful Dead are legends, icons
of days long gone and living proof that it's still possible
to make music on your own terms and maintain a successful
business from it - wearing tie-dyes all the while. Gimme a
hippie over a yuppie or a freak over a geek, any day. Long
live the Grateful Dead. - CMJ New Music Report.
