Jerry Garcia: A Biography (Greenwood Biographies) ReviewFrom both an educator's standpoint and a Deadhead, I personally found this book very informative and appropriate for young adults. "Greenwood Press provides high-quality, authoritative reference books in all subject areas taught in middle schools, high schools" ([...]) This publishing company does not target older adults looking for a new twist on Jerry's life or a Grateful Dead revelation. Therefore when reading this biography, it is especially important to consider the audience. This biography is written for young adults. The vocabulary presented is student friendly and accessible to many different types of readers at different levels. All told, I think it is an excellent overview and introduction of Jerry's life, and it is a FABULOUS resource for young adults or anyone that wants to begin their own long strange trip with Jerry and friends.Jerry Garcia: A Biography (Greenwood Biographies) Overview
This biography offers students and general readers an insightful look into Jerry Garcia's creative genius as a founding member of The Grateful Dead and the various influences on his work as he contributed to the countercultural movement in the United States.



As a founding member of The Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia became famous for his work as a key creative force in this band. Known for free flowing jam sessions, psychedelic drug use, and a loyal fan base, The Grateful Dead combined a variety of genres, including blues, folk and country rock to create new and different sounds than those used by other popular bands at the time, including The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. Garcia contributed significantly to an era in American music that was influenced by social changes, war, and political strife. Yet Garcia's creative genius expanded beyond the fame that came as lead guitarist and vocalist for the Dead. From the time he was a young boy learning to play the piano in the Excelsior district of San Francisco, Garcia explored various genres and forms of music and visual art. This biography offers students and general readers an insightful look into Garcia's creative genius and the various influences on his work as he contributed to the counter-cultural movement in the United States.
