Album Notes
Talking about Ace in an interview in the early 1980’s Weir said: “That was a Grateful Dead record, as far as I’m concerned. And I don’t do that material with my side groups. ….. It was all me singing, all my songwriting. I started by using a couple of different musicians, and it just settled in to being a Grateful Dead record right quick”.
