Wake Of The Flood 1973 Album

Grateful Dead

Their first studio LP since the double punch of Workingman's Dead/American Beauty is a good cure for insomnia. If not for "Eyes of the World", the disc would be a complete throwaway, but like everything else here it sounds thin and laggard. For whatever reason, the band usually couldn't translate their live energy to a studio record, and Wake of the Flood is no exception.
