Phil Lesh & Friends with Joan Osborne - Joan Osborne Sings Grateful Dead Songs, Volume 2 (2006)

This is a second volume of Joan Osborne singing lead on Grateful Dead songs with the band Phil Lesh and Friends in 2006. There are four volumes in total.

Every concert Phil Lesh and Friends performed in 2006 were released digitally at the time, so everything here has soundboard quality. The vocals on "Shakedown Street" were rather low in the mix though. Maybe that was how it was at the concert, for whatever reason. But I fixed that using the UVR5 audio editing program.

All of the songs here are closely associated with the Grateful Dead. However, some of them happen to be covers for the Dead that they played in concert a lot. Only "New Speedway Boogie" and "Shakedown Street" were originals.

This album is an hour and ten minutes long. There are only six songs despite this album being well over an hour long due to lots of jamming.

01 Good Lovin' (Phil Lesh & Friends with Joan Osborne)

The cover photo shows Osborne with Phil Lesh at the Bonnaroo Festival in Memphis, Tennessee, in 2006. Osborne and Lesh were much further apart, but I moved them closer using Photoshop.
