May 2, 2016 - Grateful Dead - Sugar Magnolia (1970)


This is the perfect early morning summertime song. Warm light breeze, skipping through tall grass in a meadow. It all sounds like an ode to nature, a May Queen who can skim through rays of violet and wade in a drop of dew. Just bliss out on the morning and enjoy a sunshine daydream. The music has this crunchy nature granola vibe, jugband playing in the park. I love how Jerry's guitar is somewhat submerged in the mix as the rest of the group bubbles along around him. Happy little animated birds flutter about, and Eric M. dances in a toga with laurels in his hair and bells around his ankle, playing a little flute, smiling cheerfully as he pours out wine from his bota bag. Right, Dave?
