Anyone have their Grateful Dead CD or heard of them?

They are an A cappella group that, according to WIKI, were discovered by Zappa. The opened for the Dead at some point in their history, and they released a CD called "Might As Well...Persuasions Sing Grateful Dead". I first heard them on some music that I acquired from a friend of mine. I got three unlabeled tracks; He's Gone, Bertha, Bid You Goodnight. Then today on Sirius/XM I heard Might As Well and was able to see the Group Name and do some research.

Here's the Wiki article:

Now....check out the cost of the CD on Amazon!

The four tracks I have heard are great.

I have their cd and love it. I often put in on compilation cd's I burn for folks and am always asked who it is doing the Dead covers. Someone burned me a copy, so I don't know why it's SO expensive on Amazon? A great cd, but not worth those bucks, I tell ya!

I think they're the same group I saw opening for the Dead at Winterland years back. It got old after the first few songs but they weren't playing any Dead tunes though (that my fried brain can remember...)

Quite likely. They did in fact open for the Dead on at least ne tour.
