I counted 11 versions of it on my iTunes.

How much of a Dead cover is this song versus an interpretation of a well-known blues song? LOVE the Akron Family interpretation btw - so happy you turned me on to it. Thanks!

I was similarly moved to recently blog on "Grayfolded", John Oswald's (aka Plunderphonics) reconstructions of the mighty "Dark Star" which still sounds staggering to me. Off to slam on "American Beauty" . Keep up the good work! http://thedrumlessdrum.blogspot.vom/ Great to hear you’re writing that Dead piece - look forward to reading it.

I've been wanting to post something on them for awhile too, this video seemed like a great way to introduce people to the band. Definitely looking forward to reading that article.
