About
Garcia is Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia's first solo album, released in January 20, 1972. Warner Bros. Records offered the Grateful Dead the opportunity to cut their own solo records, and Garcia was released around the same time as Bob Weir's Ace and Mickey Hart's Rolling Thunder. Unlike Ace, which was practically a Grateful Dead album, Garcia was more of a solo effort, as Garcia played almost all the instrumental parts. Six tracks (specifically those coauthored by lyricist Robert Hunter) eventually became standards in the Grateful Dead concert repertoire, especially "The Wheel", which was performed over 250 times. Considered a.

"Garcia" is Jerry Garcia's second solo album. It includes one newly written song by John Kahn and Robert Hunter but is otherwise cover versions.
The title of this album is "Garcia". The first Round Records Promo copies had "Compliments of" printed above the title, "Garcia". The LP labels did NOT have "Compliments of" printed on them. The printed "Compliments of" above the title "Garcia" led to this LP being erroneously titled as "Compliments of Garcia" in a review of this record that appeared in Playboy magazine when the LP was first released. There is no Jerry Garcia LP titled "Compliments of Garcia".
