  • To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead, JamBase teamed with Telefunken to produce the Songs Of Their Own video series. We began with a list of 100 Grateful Dead original songs (exclusively their tunes, not covers they often played) and tapped many of our favorite artists to record a cover version either at the JamBase office in San Francisco or at one of the many venues around town and beyond. No song was allowed to be covered twice, and today’s participant Keller Williams gave his interpretation of “Brown-Eyed Women.”
    “Brown-Eyed Women” (or as the typo on Europe ‘72 displayed, “Brown-Eyed Woman”) entered the Grateful Dead rotation August 24, 1971 at Chicago’s Auditorium Theater. Sung by Jerry Garcia, who wrote the tune with Robert Hunter, “Brown- Eyed Women” tells the ill-fated tale of the bootlegging Bigfoot County dwellers Jack and Delilah Jones. The Dead regularly played the song up until July 6, 1995 at Riverport Amphitheatre near St. Louis, the second to last stop on their final tour.
    Terrapin Crossroads again provided the setting to record Williams’ version of “Brown- Eyed Women.” KW was in town to participate in the 4/20 House Party on April 20, joining Phil Lesh & Friends along with with Jackie Greene, Jason Crosby and Alex Koford. Though not performed at the 4/20 party, Keller was well-versed when it came to “Brown-Eyed Women” having played the song live regularly for years.

      Agree and disagree... Appreciate this cover but besides some embellishments and a little faster tempo structurally it's the same as the Dead played it. I'm all for covers and play a bunch myself, but I think if you are going to cover Dead songs it should like a Dead song to a certain extent.

      @@austinknowlton1783 I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but Jerry never played a song the same way twice. He would have LOVED this version..keep your mind open always friend. It's why he was great, try and emulate that part of him listening to the covers. That's the only way to keep the dead alive

    When your playing a song by the dead solo it makes sense to add a lot of notes. Think about jerry phil Bobby kieth all adding the little things that make this song as dynamic as it is. Not easy to do in a solo acoustic performance, but Keller kinda nails it here. But that's just like, my opinion man.

    Don't know this guy, but if I had to guess, yup, he's reached that point in life where he's become a caricature of himself. Ahh...don't mind me, this guy is awesome and really captures the spirit of the song. Sometimes first impressions can be misleading. I watched the full tune now and he's won me over. I'm just a bluegrass wannabe.
