Bob Weir’s artistry shines through the lyrics and melody, capturing the complexity of the human experience. “Heaven Help the Fool” continues to inspire me to seek authenticity, remain humble, and always remember the true value of what truly matters in life. Album title: Heaven Help the Fool (1978)

When the Grateful Dead signed up to a three-album deal with Warner Brothers Records in the early ’70s, their reward was the opportunity to record solo albums. Weir, along with Jerry Garcia and Mickey Hart, jumped at the opportunity; although Weir’s LP, 1972’s Ace, features the band so heavily, it could just as well have been a Dead album. Fortunate...
Bob Weir doesn’t make new music that often. When he does, the world should sit up and take notice. It doesn’t, but that’s a reflection of the world, not Weir, who, on 2016’s Blue Mountain (his first solo studio album since 1978’s Heaven Help the Fool) proved there’s still life in the old dog. The entire album is an American dream, with “Ki-Yi Bossi...
Few songs in Bob Weir’s repertoire (or anyone else’s) are laced with so much sadness as the emotionally wrought “Lay My Lily Down.” During interviews, Weir said he transported himself into the song’s mood because he’s “been there.” Listen to it yourself, and you’ll be right there with him.
“Cassidy” is one part eulogy to Neal Cassady, the beat hero who inspired the character of Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road,” and one part greeting to Cassidy Law, the newborn son of Dead sales manager Eileen Law and Dead roadie Rex Jackson. An inspired take on the circle of life, it was a major fixture of the Dead’s live shows and, in 1...
“Me and Bobby McGee” has been covered more than anyone can count. Kris Kristofferson’s story of a pair of hitchhikers singing their way through the American South found its ultimate expression on Janis Joplin’s1971 posthumous release. Still, Weir’s typically understated effort deserves a lot more attention than it gets.
Bob Weir has always been that rarest of things – a hand-off band leader. Never one to hog the mic, he simply lets people get on with their jobs without any attempt to interfere or diminish their contributions in favor of his own. Case in point, “One More Saturday Night,” a rollicking number that would be a far lesser thing had he not given free rei...
Blue Mountain is often described as Weir’s best album since 1972’s Ace. In fairness, there’s not much competition. Weir might be many things, but he is not prolific. But that aside, it’s still a stunning album. Its titular track is a nostalgic joy, with Weir’s weathered vocals drifting over the top of the warm layers of guitar like a dream.
Weir’s 1972 solo debut Acedidn’t get much attention when it was released and it’s not got much attention since. Despite the lack of appreciation, it’s a stone-cold classic. “Looks Like Rain” is one of its standouts, with Ed Bogus’ lush string arrangements complementing Weir’s eclectic rhythm guitar to perfection.
Ace might be a Bob Weir solo recording, but it wasn’t like the Grateful Dead were giving the day off. Their presence as a ‘backing band’ is felt on almost every song, and the album’s none the worse for it. On “Greatest Story Ever Told,” though, it’s not the Dead that gives the song its power; it’s New Riders’ bassist Dave Torbert, whose raw basslin...
Weir’s 2016 album Blue Mountain is reflective but not nostalgic, warm but not sentimental. It’s a perfect balancing act, and on its closing track, “One More River to Cross,” Weir manages to dig deep into the past without becoming lost in it. Rustic pleasures don’t get much better than this. Professional Sources, research, experience, and citations ...
