Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

13. Grateful DeadAmerican Beauty

American Beauty is another great album. My parents were not hippies. I’ve always had hippy tendencies. I can’t stand cleaning or bathing. When it comes to modern San Franciscan psych music like Wooden Shjips and stuff, I’m ok with it. Some of it is enjoyable to listen to, but I’m not really very interested. I have lots of old psych records that feed that need.
