This episode dives into the Grateful Dead’s Workingman’s Dead—the pivotal moment the band traded psychedelic sprawl for tight harmonies, lived-in storytelling, and rootsy Americana. We unpack the album’s stripped-down vibe, standout songs, and explore how it reshaped the Dead’s identity—then set the stage for what came next.
