Publisher's Synopsis
These never-before-published interviews with Jerry Garcia reveal his thoughts on religion, politics, his past and personal life, and his creative process. Jerry on Jerry provides new insight into the beloved front man of the Grateful Dead in time for the fiftieth anniversary of the band.
Released by his estate and made available to the public for the first time, these are some of the most candid and intimate interviews with Jerry Garcia ever published. Beginning in 1973, Dennis McNally, the Dead's publicist and biographer, recorded seven hours of unedited tape on which Jerry speaks, opening up about everything from his euphoric encounter with early R&B to hating himself for voting for Johnson in the '64 election. Jerry on Jerry distills the most poignant, unguarded, astute moments of these conversations, showing a side of Jerry that even his biggest fans have not known.
