S.O.D. "Tennesee Jed" by Grateful Dead

9/21/2023  This song first was heard by fans in 1971 during a live concert at the University of Minnesota. The song was actually never recorded in a studio, and was written by Robert Hunter, while spending time in Spain.  His inspiration is not exactly clear, but could have to do with a 1940s radio show called Tennessee Jed that aired from a West Virginia radio station.  Hunter would have been between 4-6 years old.
