Grateful Dead’s ‘Workingman’s Dead’ Album Gets A Deluxe Edition Release
Written by Johnson Stephen on May 8, 2020
On June 14, 1970, the Grateful Dead released ‘Workingman’s Dead’, an album that was unlike anything they’d ever done, and that showed the World a new side of the Dead. It was clearly the same band as before, but now with a distinctly different sound and approach to the music, pivoting from Psychedelic improvisation to Folk-Rock storytelling for the ”everyman” as the album’s title suggests. ‘Workingman’s Dead’ will celebrate its 50th anniversary this year with two new releases.
