Grateful Dead - Kingfish (1976)

 

Side A:
1. Might as Well - Jerry Garcia
2. Lazy Lightnin' - Bob Weir
3. Razooli - Mickey Hart
4. They Love Each Other - Jerry Garcia
5. Home to Dixie - Bob Weir

Side B:
6. Happiness is Drumming - Mickey Hart
7. It Must Have Been the Roses - Jerry Garcia
8. Bye and Bye - Bob Weir
9. Sweet Sixteen - Mickey Hart

Here's another new Grateful Dead album made out of albums by solo members that came out the same year. This one is interesting cause technically only one of them was a solo album. Jerry released his album under his name but had already formed the Jerry Garcia Band around this time. Bob was in a band called Kingfish but he only shows up on the first album before leaving. And Mickey released an album with a band called the Diga Rhythm Group which was the most experimental of the bunch. It features an early instrumental version of Fire in the Mountain which would later get released on Shakedown Street.
