A decade-spanning look at the Grateful Dead and the culture the band spawned, it's one of our favorite books of the year, one that explores of underground economies, thriving art scenes, cyberspace frontiers, the advent of psychedelia, the birth of the jam band movement, mystically motivated science projects, and much more through the lens of America's home brewed cosmic roots ambassadors. In his review of the book for AD, our own Tyler Wilcox wrote: Heads is an essential piece of underground cultural history, but more than anything it reads like an epic adventure story, with page after page of remarkable stories spinning out kaleidoscope-style, like a second-set Dead improv." He's right, and Jarnow was quick to provide further insight into not only the world of the Dead, but how he himself found his way into it.
