New Phil album - R Hunter's thoughts

"Here it is way before dawn again, 5:01 to be exact, much too excited to sleep except for episodic dozing off. Reason is that Phil Lesh stopped by yesterday, hot from a month in the studio, to play the rough mixes of the Quintet's studio album for me. How shall I say it? It's like a new isotopes of rock and roll matter has entered the universe. Or like a piece of the sun split off and started circling the moon. A whole new beginning based on the old premises, unexpectable if not simply inconceivable at this age and date, but there it is... The side clocks in at 74 minutes and is sweeping, clean as a whistle, dirty as sin, untrammeled with multiple overdubs. The rest of you guys will have to wait until its May release date but I got an enviable first chance to hear the past, future and ultimate present of what the living spirit of Grateful Dead music always aspired to be,: laid down with spark, guts and integrity. Home again!"
