Product Details
Recorded in just a few weeks in the summer of 1970, American Beauty captured the Dead at a moment of profound creative convergence, with Robert Hunter's lyrics and Jerry Garcia's melodies producing some of the most enduring songs in the American songbook. "Truckin'," "Friend of the Devil," and "Sugar Magnolia" became cornerstones of the band's live repertoire for decades, proof that a studio record could shape a touring identity as much as any night at the Fillmore.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. 50th Anniversary remastered audio. American Beauty is the fifth studio album by rock band The Grateful Dead. Released November 1, 1970, by Warner Bros. Records, the album continued the folk rock and country music style of their previous album Workingman's Dead, issued earlier in the year. Though the Americana approach is still evident in the songwriting, comparatively the sound focused more on folk harmonies and major-key melodies, showing influence from Bob Dylan and Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young.
