Disc three standouts include "One Kind Favor," the best of the two performances of Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come" (which is another previously unreleased number, one that is bound to make you want to get up and dance), a great, rocking "That's Alright, Mama." There's also a tasty take on "Money Honey." This disc is my favorite of the four.
Disc four has a strong, heartfelt version of "Someday Baby," (previously unreleased), the evocative "Like a Road Leading Home," and the best of the two versions of the instrumental "Merl's Tune," also not available before.
This box set will be a treasure for any fan of Jerry Garcia or Merl Saunders and should find them new fans among younger followers of Americana music.
