Classic Country Songs That I Heard The Grateful Dead Play First
2025/11/23
The spark for this week’s theme was my desire to start the show with Johnny Cash “Big River”. I remembered that the Grateful Dead had covered that song and a few Merle Haggard songs came to mind. Initially I thought it would just be one segment in a show, but then I got down the rabbit hole of the Grateful Dead and found soo many more songs that I could play.
HERE’S WHAT WE PLAYED
Big River Johnny Cash
Sing Me Back Home Merle Haggard & The Strangers
El Paso Marty Robbins
Seasons Of My Heart George Jones
You Win Again Hank Williams
Mama Tried Merle Haggard
Big Iron Marty Robbins
Big Boss Man Bobbie Gentry
Deep Elem Blues Shelton Brothers
Saw Mill Buck Owens
Dark Hollow Tom T. Hall
Stagger Lee Charley Pride
Silver Threads And Golden Needles Wanda Jackson
C.C. Rider - Charlie Rich
I Washed My Hands in Muddy Water Stonewall Jackson
Goin’ Down the Road Feelin’ Bad Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins
Not Fade Away Tanya Tucker
