Was cruising thru some of the the Jerry Garcia Band , and it many incarnations, and come across a song he covered throughout his career. Some solid lyrics here by an artist that that not only was a reggae superstar, but crossed over into
mainstream popularity in the US with "i can see clearly now" hit from Cool Runnings. Two of my favorite JGB cover are "The Harder they Come' and "sitting in Limbo
Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
'Cause, as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
Hey, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
What I say now
What I Say now
What I say now
What I say, one time
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
Granted i like Jerrys w/ Merl Saunders version better
So if anybody needs some fresh crisp JGB ( or any other music, not just crusty hippie stuff) send me a PM. Depends on how many, if anybody hits me up if i set up any guide lines on who ill send links too. And dont be scared qbout music files, downloading, and listening to shows. If you can log into the ODT, you can listen to good music lol!! Its so easy now to have the highest quality music, audio and video, for free, its become my goal to give it to anyone whos willing to learn..
