just picked up Hooteroll? Howard Wales & Jerry Garcia and its one of the best albums i\'ve heard in a while. Not your average jerry by any means.....this quote from amazon explains it well
Quote
Grateful Dead guitarist/icon Jerry Garcia was involved in any number of side projects during his illustrious career, but few as adventurous or musically far-ranging as this 1971 collaboration with keyboardist Howard Wales and a handful of other Bay Area musicians (including Garcia Band cohorts John Kahn and Bill Vitt). On his first album release outside the Dead, Garcia seldom takes center stage, instead seasoning a diverse collection of instrumentals with spare, tasty trademark fills and some propulsive funk- and R&B-inspired rhythm work.

I forgot about Hooterool...Such a great album. The Legion of Mary were also super great.

The Grateful Dead\'s revered and mercurial Jerry Garcia pursued an eclectic array of side projects throughout his life. Many were folk/bluegrass-oriented, but for a brief time a Garcia band incarnation known as Legion Of Mary conjured up an inspired rock and jazz vibe. Featuring Jerry on guitar/vocals, Merl Saunders on keyboards/vocals, John Kahn on bass, Martin Fierro on reeds, and former Elvis drummer Ron Tutt, the quintet played just over 60 now-historic shows from December 1974 through July 1975. Distinguished by hard grooves and that unique Garcia improvisational style, the unit disbanded in the wake of concurrent Dead activities such as the Blues For Allah sessions, but these never-before-released recordings capture their magic.

Spacey if you get a chance in the next 13 years or so, after you listen to the rest of these recommendations first, try System Of A Down. i know theyre metal and have even crossed-over with some main stream ****, but theyre an awesome band. so tight, they touch on tons of genres for a metal band, and their singer is sooo good. Try Toxicity, very good album.

Disooorder, disooorder, disooooo-hoooorder!!
