He was there when Dylanwent electric, when a generation danced naked at Woodstock, and when Ken Keseystarted experimenting with acid. Jerry Garciawas one of the most gifted musicians of all time, and he was a member of one of the most worshiped rock 'n' roll bands in history. Now, Blair Jackson, who covered the Grateful Dead for twenty-five years, gives us an unparalleled portrait of Garcia—the musical genius, the brilliant songwriter, and ultimately, the tortured soul plagued by his own addiction. With more than forty photographs, many of them previously unpublished, Garcia: An American Lifeis the ultimate tribute to the man who, Bob Dylan said, "had no equal."
