Workingman's Dead 50, Episode 5: Cumberland Blues

GOOD OL' GRATEFUL DEADCAST - A podcast by Grateful Dead - Thursdays

Categories:

We flip sides on the Grateful Dead’s Workingman’s Dead and explore why “Cumberland Blues” is a much stranger song than it might seem, chart the transformation into the so-called Bakersfield Dead, and--in an extended interview--hear how new tour manager Sam Cutler helped the band turn themselves into a real-life workingman’s Dead during one of the most tumultuous and pivotal moments in their history.
