Album Description
Available in:
Ace was the first solo album by Grateful Dead rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, released in 1972.
Its origins come from an offer by the Dead's Warner Bros. Records label to have band members cut their own solo records, and it came out the same year as Jerry Garcia's Garcia and Mickey Hart's Rolling Thunder. However, in the case of Ace, Weir's backing band was essentially the Dead itself (minus Ron "Pigpen" McKernan), and all songs except "Walk in the Sunshine" became concert staples of the Dead.
"Greatest Story Ever Told" and "Playing In The Band" also appear on Hart's Rolling Thunder, as "The Pump Song" and "The Main Ten" respectively, both of which were also sung by Weir.
Bob Weir – lead vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, production
Jerry Garcia – lead guitar, production; pedal steel guitar on "Looks Like Rain", backup vocals on "Greatest Story Ever Told"
Keith Godchaux – piano, organ, production
Bill Kreutzmann – drums, percussion, production
Phil Lesh – bass guitar, production; backup vocals on "Mexicali Blues"
Additional personnel
Ed Bogus – string arrangements on "Looks Like Rain"
Snooky Flowers – horns on "Black-Throated Wind", "Mexicali Blues", and "One More Saturday Night"
Luis Gasca – horns on "Black-Throated Wind", "Mexicali Blues", and "One More Saturday Night"
Donna Jean Godchaux – production; backup vocals on "Greatest Story Ever Told", "Walk in the Sunshine", "Playing in the Band", and "Cassidy"
The Space Rangers – horns on "Black-Throated Wind", "Mexicali Blues", and "One More Saturday Night"
Dave Torbert – bass guitar on "Greatest Story Ever Told"
