Grateful Dead: Blues For Allah (United Artists / Grateful Dead Records)
Bud Scoppa, Phonograph Record, September 1975
The first Dead album to be distributed by United Artists contains everything we’ve come to expect from the latter-day group and its offshoots: tuneless songs, flat and dry performances (especially vocally), and a general air closer akin to inertia than mellowness.
Total word count of piece: 215
