Product Details

Robert Hunter's 1974 solo debut arrived at a moment when the Grateful Dead's primary lyricist was stepping out from behind the curtain, revealing the full depth of a voice that had already shaped some of rock's most enduring poetry. The songs here share DNA with the Dead's acoustic tradition while charting their own territory, and hearing them remastered alongside the session outtakes sheds new light on how Hunter's writing process actually worked at the height of his creative partnership with Jerry Garcia.

Tales of the Great Rum Runners (Deluxe Edition) / Two CD edition. Tales Of The Great Rum Runners (Deluxe Edition) introduces a freshly remastered version of the original album alongside 16 previously unreleased recordings, including alternate versions of album tracks and several session outtakes.
