Talk:The Grateful Dead (album)

New, New Minglewood Blues

Is this song derived from Rollin' and Tumblin' by Gus Cannon? J04n (talk) 17:03, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

It comes from a rendition of New Minglewood Blues by Noah Lewis' Jug Band. This song, along with Sitting On ... and Viola Lee Blues, were highly admired by the band in their beginning years, especially by Garcia. These would be "re-imagined" version when played by the band. In later years, their version of Minglewood would change again, be retitled as All New Minglewood Blue and was on their album Shakedown Street. -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 19:14, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Good Morning, Little Schoolgirl

Couldn't one say that this version was directly influenced by Junior Wells version with Buddy Guy. They sound more similar to each other than this one does with the original. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.72.233 (talk) 23:13, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Genre addition

The album also displays large blues influences, and much of it can be seen as being "blues rock." Various sources describe the music as sich, including Allmusic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.147.206 (talk) 21:29, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

The 1967 Richard Goldstein review described it as simple rhythm and blues — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.44.63 (talk) 00:29, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
