Album Notes
Also available in a VHS/CD package with the video ANTHEM TO BEAUTY.Contains the hidden tracks, "Ripple" and "American Beauty Radio Spot" which follow the live version of "Truckin'."Grateful Dead: Jerry Garcia (vocals, guitar, pedal steel guitar, piano); Bob Weir (vocals, guitar); Ron "Pig Pen" McKernan (vocals, harmonica); Phil Lesh (vocals, guitar, piano, bass); Bill Kreutzmann (drums); Micky Hart (percussion). Additional personnel: Dave Nelson (electric guitar); David Grisman (mandolin); Howard Wales (piano, organ); Ned Lagin (piano); Dave Torbert (bass); New Riders Of The Purple Sage.Recorded at Wally Heider Studios, San Francisco, California. All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology. AMERICAN BEAUTY was an instant classic when it was first released November of 1970. It is among the most satisfying and enduring of the Grateful Dead's studio recordings, expanding as it does on the engaging mix of country, blues, and folk materials they first coined earlier in the year with WORKINGMAN'S DEAD. The musical vision of the Dead is more sharply focused on AMERICAN BEAUTY--from the serene reflection and compassion of the opening "Box Of Rain" and the earthy mysticism of "Ripple," to the sensual rock of "Sugar Magnolia" and the anthemic proto-boogie of the closing "Truckin'." But then, every tune on AMERICAN BEAUTY has attained a classic resonance, both from decades of steady airplay, and the way the Dead seemed to continually revive these popular standards for their concert repertoire.Also available with WORKINGMAN'S DEAD on one cassette.

Editorial Reviews
...the album is American beauty of the best possible kind....A complete contentment shines through the vocal work....The instrumentation is rich with sound that moves through, under and into the listener...
Rolling Stone (12/24/1970)

GRATEFUL DEAD is my life. I can`t imagine a world without this gigantic Jam-Band. AMERICAN BEAUTY is - as all of the GD releases - pure Gold. Classic Rock, Jams, Blues, Country. Mix it all together and you have GRATEFUL DEAD. Don`t miss it. Buy it now. But some copies for your friends. They will love it as much as you will. - Enjoy.
