2 unusual facts about A Box of Rain


A Box of Rain

The book's title comes from "Box of Rain", a song recorded and made famous on the Dead's 1970 studio classic, American Beauty.

The book was, at one time, considered the best source of Grateful Dead lyrics, but that spot has since been taken by The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics by David Dodd, which compiles songs not only by Hunter, but by other Dead lyricist John Perry Barlow; this book also includes cover songs and folk songs performed by the Dead.
