Grateful Dead - Shakedown Street - Remastered & Expanded (2006)

Shakedown Street was the tenth studio album by the Grateful Dead where they moved away from their traditional sound to dance and funk music. Shakedown Street contains several of the Dead's finest tunes, presented with a minimum of fuss for maximum impact. The band scored a hit with their infectious Latin-tinged arrangement of the Rascals' "Good Lovin'."

Bob Weir's bluesy "I Need A Miracle" wound up becoming a staple of the Dead's live shows for years to come, as did the funky title tune "Shakedown Street". Jerry Garcia's
hits his stride, both vocally and melodically, on the beautiful devotional ballad "If I Had The World To Give," that was influenced by The Beatles.

Shakedown Street also marked the end of an era for the Dead, as it would be the last album to feature keyboardist Keith Godchaux and his vocalist wife Donna.
