Bob Dylan, Widespread Panic Cover Grateful Dead

As the Furthur Festival prepares to head out on the road this summer and stir up memories of the Grateful Dead's glorious past, Bob Dylan, Widespread Panic, and Elvis Costello have contributed unreleased tracks to a new Dead tribute album, "Stolen Roses.

Southern jamsters Widespread Panic have recorded a studio version of the Dead's "Cream Puff War," a favorite from the band's live repertoire, for the "Roses" record, while Dylan has offered up a live rendition of the Dead classic "Friend Of The Devil.

Patti Smith has dusted off a cover of "Black Peter" that her band actually recorded the night Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia died, on August 9, 1995. Elvis Costello, who recorded the Dead's "Ship Of Fools" for the 1991 tribute album, "Deadicated," has contributed a live medley of that song and "It Must Have Been The Roses.

Stolen Roses" was complied by David Gans, the longtime host of the syndicated radio program "The Grateful Dead Hour," and

also features new tracks from frequent Garcia collaborator, David Grisman, as well as previously released (though hard-to-find) covers from the likes of Wartime featuring Henry Rollins, among others.
