Skeletons From The Closet was the first best-of the Grateful Dead ever released, a 1974 collection of songs from their Warner Bros. years, presented here as a repackaged single CD edition.
Assembled after the band had left Warner to start their own label, it pulls together songs that had become fan favourites across their first half decade of releases. It moves through every phase of their early sound, from the garage-rock rush of their debut to the psychedelic experiments of Aoxomoxoa and the rootsy, harmony-filled songwriting of Workingman's Dead and American Beauty.
Truckin' shows the band at their most loose and joyful, a rolling road story with a chorus made for singing along. Uncle John's Band floats on gorgeous acoustic harmonies, and Casey Jones chugs along with a deceptively cheerful rhythm beneath its cautionary lyrics. A live take on One More Saturday Night brings things to a rowdy peak, with Bob Weir in bright, rambunctious form.
Along the way there are detours into late-1960s San Francisco psychedelia and gentle country picking, a fair reflection of how widely the band roamed.
For newcomers, it is a compact and well-chosen entry point. For longtime Deadheads, these eleven tracks still capture the spirit of a band that could make every song feel like home.
