#185 Shakedown Street – Grateful Dead (1978)


 
Although I’ve never been a Deadhead, I’ve always liked a number of the band’s songs (“Truckin’”, “Uncle John’s Band”, “Hell In A Bucket”, among others). For me, “Shakedown Street” is to the Dead what “Nighttime In The Switching Yard” is to Warren Zevon: probably not their greatest work from an artistic standpoint, but with hooks and a beat that refuse to leave your brain. (Not that you would want them to.)
