charlesg31.bsky.social @charlesg31.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Solo debut album by the @gratefuldead.bsky.social singer and guitarist Bob Weir. Released in 1972, I love this album and it is essentially a #GratefulDead album. His band mates back him and most of the songs ended up being played for years to come at the Dead’s concerts. #BobWeir #Ace 040
