Album Notes
This LP reached number 42 in Billboard’s album charts.
Jerry spoke of Reflections after talking about the Dead’s recording of Blues For Allah, in an interview collected in The Grateful Dead : A Look Back: “A lot of the energy from that record [Reflections] is really a continuation of the Blues For Allah groove that we got into. We sort of continued the same energy because we were having a lot of fun doing it.”
John Kahn commented on the recording of the album in an interview: “The album was supposed to be a Jerry Garcia Band album but it sort of fell apart in the middle, so it ended up being half that band and half Grateful Dead.”
