Tonys wife asked Jerry to sing Amazing Grace  and he obliged  with Grisman on mandolin and Rice on guitar. Together  the three played one of the most hauntingly poignant versions ever recorded of this classic song. Undoubtedly saved by his own \"amazing grace \" John Newton was a slave ship captain turned preacher who wrote the first version of this timeless hymn in the late 1760s. It went on to become one of the most beloved songs in America. Recorded hundreds of times  it resonates as strongly today as it did when it was originally written. Garcia recorded Amazing Grace for the first time while jamming with Grisman and Rice (recorded on Acoustic Discs The Pizza Tapes)  making it a rare event -- and the inspiration for this book. Jerry Garcia was an artist  a poet  and a world-renowned musician. \"Amazing Grace\" is a classic song that has inspired countless generations. Here for the first time  the lyrics of this song are illustrated with a selection of Jerry Garcias own wildly imaginative artwork  which was painstakingly chosen in cooperation with Deborah Koons Garcia from more than four hundred pieces of her late husbands works. A CD of the 1993 Garcia\/Grisman\/Rice recording of Amazing Grace is included in this book  making Jerry Garcias Amazing Grace a unique keepsake for art and music lovers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67929565724725,"sku":"ByrdShop_0060297107","price":66.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780060297107.jpg?v=1794197239","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/jerry-garcias-amazing-grace-9780060297107","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
