Before releasing Blues for Allah, the Grateful Dead had seven studio albums: The Grateful Dead (1967), Anthem of the Sun (1968), Aoxomoxoa (1969), Workingman’s Dead (1970), American Beauty (1970), Wake of the Flood (1973), and From the Mars Hotel (1974).

Something that makes Blues for Allah so special, aside from its more experimental sound, is that it was the first album the Grateful Dead released under their own record label, Grateful Dead Records.

See the tracklist below: 

According to Rolling Stone, Blues for Allah was recorded with almost no pre-written material. “The whole idea was to get back to that band thing, where the band makes the main contribution to the evolution of the material,” Garcia, who died on August 9, 1995, at 53 years old, told the magazine. 

“Blues for Allah is the Dead’s unique vision, a deeply humane parable that framed their own artistic renewal in the most inclusive, expansive terms,” Nicholas G. Meriwether, Executive Director of the Grateful Dead Studies Association, penned for the album’s liner, per Rolling Stone. “Fifty years later, it remains one of their most musically successful and resolutely experimental albums.”
