The Brothers Comatose recruited fellow Bay Area musician Grahame Lesh to collaborate on an acoustic version of the Grateful Dead classic “Tennessee Jed.” Grahame, the son of GD bassist Phil Lesh, shares lead vocal duties on the cover with BroCo’s Ben Morrison and Alex Morrison.
Both Grahame Lesh and Ben Morrison play guitar for the song written by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia. Alex Morrison utilizes a banjo on the cover which features his bandmate Steve Height on bass.
“Tennessee Jed” was debuted by the Grateful Dead on September 28, 1971. The song was a staple of the band’s first set for the rest of their career.
