The one hundred ninetieth album: #190 The Grateful Dead - American Beauty

Restarting the sequence, I come back to some friendly folk rock with the acoustic sound of the Grateful Dead - avoiding the lengthy jams from before, instead focusing on shorter, to the point songs that have meaningful lyrics reflected in the music. There's something melancholic about a lot of them and even Truckin', the closest to a jam, still feels a bit sedate. It's good, but it does feel like a quiet morning, not necessarily sad but not something loud if that's what you want.
