Garcia, 1974
Written by Chuck Berry
This is the Garcia I tend to enjoy — rocking and singing, not noodling out some extended space-jams. Garcia doesn't reinvent this Berry classic or add anything special to it, but his take sounds like he's having fun. His raspy vocal is one of the weaker voices in classic rock, but he struggles along manfully here, giving the song a relaxed, tossed-off feel. Obviously, his guitar skills far outstrip Berry's primitive chords, but Garcia lets the piano and guitar work together, not feeling the need to show off with any fireworks.
