Title: Grateful Dead – American Beauty
Year/Genre: 1970, Psych Rock
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
Recorded in 1970 as the studio twin to Workingman’s Dead, marking the Dead’s shift from long acid jams into tightly written Americana.
Made in California studios while the band was emerging from the Haight-Ashbury ’60s and leaning into country, folk, and barroom harmonies.
The ornate “American Beauty/American Reality” cover art played into the era’s tension between idealized U.S. imagery and post-’60s disillusionment.
