Pigpen's Apartment Solo Acoustic Demos 19??

Here we have some four track recordings from Ron "Pigpen" McKernan. Many know of Pigpen as a member of The Grateful Dead. He was an integral part of their blues background. And this recording exemplifies that to the fullest. There is a lot of debate as to when these recording were made. Many believe that most were recorded in the early 70's. Pigpen was working on a solo album during that time, before his untimely death.  There are some real strong tracks on this demo. It's just Ron and his guitar and harmonica. It's down and dirty blues, like only Ron could do. The recording has a bit of weather to it. A bit of tape hiss, and other anomalies.  This to me just gives it more appeal. It's part of the music, giving these blues songs, character and life. In no way does it take away from the music. If you are a blues fan, and or Deadhead. You should check this out.
