Although the death of Jerry Garcia certainly slowed JGB down, it is evident that the group never completely derailed. In this rendition of Peter Tosh's reggae classic, the band proves that it still has enough steam left in its engine to pull together some quality music. Led by the gospel-influenced organ work of Melvin Seals, JGB proves to be remarkably solid and capable of filling the void left by the deceased guitar legend. Rather than trying to imitate Garcia, guitarists Martin Holland and Bob Coons work together in powering the evolved version of this musical locomotive. And, although Garcia's legendary playing and vocals are indeed sorely missed, this tune proves that though Jerry may be dead, there is still plenty of life left in JGB.

Awesome! A great cover worthy for any reggae/dead fan.

Although this band has produced amazing results in the past, it simply isn't the samr without Jerry and it never will be. Though the band still does produce a number of great songs they will never overcome the loss of it's leading man. True fans take enjoyment in the song but it will be hard to interst new audiences at this level.
