Artist:  Bob Weir

Title:  Ace

Date:  1972

Cover Design:  Kelly / Mouse Design

Label:  Warner Bros. Records (BS 2627)

Notes:  I've always thought of this album as the record that launched a thousand tatoos.  With a band made up of a large portion of the Grateful Dead, Weir make this his own album.  The tunes from these sessions became standards during live performances.  Either live or in the studio tunes like "Looks Like Rain" will always make me stop what I'm doing and listen for a bit.  And the cover colors are bright, but still produce a nice quiet effect.

Line Up:

Robert "Ace" Weir:  acoustic and electric guitars

William "Fairplay" Kreutzmann:  drums

Phil Lesh:  bass, vocals

Jerry Garcia:  electric guitar, pedal steel guitar

Keith Godchaux:  piano

Donna Godchaux:  harmony, the chick vocals
