Description by OLDIES.com:

"Eight spooky country and folk tunes that rival the best of Bob Dylan." -Rolling Stone. Featuring: Casey Jones & Uncle John's Band. One of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. "Workingman's Dead is an excellent album. It's a warming album. and most importantly, the Dead have finally produced a complete studio album. The songs stand up quite nicely right on their own merits, which are considerable." -Rolling Stone, 1970 "Of course they don't sing as pretty as CSNY - prettiness would trivialize these songs. The sparse harmonies and hard-won melodies go with lyrics that make all the American connections claimed by San Francisco's counterculture." -Robert Christgau.

Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 7/23/70, p.32

"...an excellent album....'Uncle John's Band', which opens the album, is, without question, the best recorded track done by this band..."

Rolling Stone - 5/13/99, p.95

5 Stars (out of 5) - "...a modest, even penitent look back, not for nostalgic reassurance but for wisdom and perspective....maps the crises of the present onto the past and offers solace only in the ability of human virtues...to survive the most harrowing chaos."

Mojo (Publisher) - p.153

"Inspired by the first two Band albums and the harmonies of Crosby Stills & Nash....Homespun folk and frontier songs played and sung in a loose, lived-in manner and sung as an old tie-dye T-shirt."
