Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
The first solo album by the Grateful Dead drummer may also interest Bay Area fans. Backed by John Cipollina and David Freiberg (Quicksilver), Grace Slick and Paul Kantner (Jefferson Airplane), Terry Haggerty and Bill Champlin (Sons Of Champlin), Stephen Stills, Sam Andrew (Big Brother), Barry Melton (Country Joe), the Tower Of Power Horn section, Zakir Husin (Shanti) and Alla Rakha, and, of course, Jerry Garcia, Bill Weir and Phil Lesh from the 'Dead, Mickey Hart offers a mix of Indian invocations, rain sequences, Dead-like songs and loose improvisations with oustanding guitars and drums. The result has its moments (Deep, Wide, Frequent, Pump Song, Gran'ma's Cookies...).
Robert Hunter, Peter Monk and Bob Weir helped Hart helped write some of the material and this album is housed in a splendid Mouse and Kelley sleeve.
Still with the Dead, Mickey Hart went on to release several albums of percussions and worked on soundtracks including work for 'Apocalypse Now'. ~ (Stephane Rebeschini)
