Garcia: An American Life
by Blair Jackson

Garcia: An American Life Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An unparalleled portrait of Jerry Garcia — the musical genius, the brilliant songwriter, and ultimately, the tortured soul plagued by his own addiction<P>He was there when Dylan went electric, when a generation danced naked at Woodstock, and when Ken Kesey started experimenting with acid. He was one of the most gifted musicians of all times, and he was a member of one of the most worshiped rock 'n' roll bands in history. Now, veteran rock journalist Blair Jackson has stitched together Garcia's story from more than a hundred of his own interviews with Garcia and his friends, lovers, and bandmates, and from thousands of pages of source material from the '50s through the '90s.<P>With more than forty photographs, many of them previously unpublished, Garcia: An American Life is the ultimate tribute to the man who, as Bob Dylan said, "had no equal".
