Fascinating notes on “Mississippi Half-Step” from both Alex Allan’s Whitegum and David Dodd’s Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics.

 

On the studio version of “Mississippi Half-Step,” bluegrass fiddle legend Vassar Clements–also Jerry Garcia’s bandmate in Old & In The Way–plays on a violin seemingly built by Gaspar Duiffoprugcar in the mid-to-late 16th century. It was given to Clements by fellow musician John Hartford.

I’m a sucker for analyzing isolated tracks. What a treat to hear them on the Deadcast!

Looking forward to finding out the identity of the mystery vocalist.
