Title Note

The 2005 reissue of the Jerry Garcia Band's 1978 album, CATS UNDER THE STARS, is a revelatory thing. There's a wealth of previously unreleased bonus material here that points emphatically to the strong influence of gospel music. The never-before-revealed likes of "Magnificent Sanctuary Band" and "I'll Be with Thee" make those leanings abundantly clear. These soulful, organic tracks provide a substantial enhancement to the original record.

Jerry Garcia Band: Jerry Garcia (vocals, guitar); Donna Jean Godchaux (vocals); John Kahn (guitar, keyboards, double bass, bass guitar); Merle Saunders (organ); Keith Godchaux (keyboards, background vocals); Ron Tutt (drums, percussion).

Additional personnel include: Steve Schuster (flute, clarinet, saxophone); Maria Muldaur (background vocals).

Recording information: Club Front, San Rafael, California (08/1977 - 11/1977).

All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.

The Jerry Garcia Band's 1978 album, CATS UNDER THE STARS affords the opportunity to hear the original versions of Hunter/Garcia gems that would become staples of the Grateful Dead's live set (the story-song "Rubin and Cherise," the biblical narrative "Gomorrah"). It also hints at a seldom-considered aspect of the band's work from that period; "Palm Sunday" and "Down Home" suggest the strong influence of gospel music, with which Garcia was infatuated at the time. While some of the Dead's outings showed hints of this inspiration, these cuts make those leanings abundantly clear. These spiritually flavored tracks also provide the perfect foil for more polite, studio-spotless (though still effective) items, such as the title track, one of Garcia's glossier efforts.
