BETTER than the G.D. version hands down. Much more melodically flowing with better guitar riffing too.

Very faithful cover of one of the Dead's most overlooked songs. Doesn't really break any new ground but I'm glad somebody decided to include this tune.

Yep, sounds like Jim James covering the Grateful Dead. In my opinion most of these covers on this album sound better than the Dead And Co. thats coming from a guy that has 87 Dead shows (with Jerry) under his belt. Dead and Co.? I meant John Mayer and Co. The National does a great job on Morning Dew as well.

This cover slips into the first place, sweet spot for the most all natural, sugar cane goodness version of Candyman I've had the pleasure of sipping up with my ears.

I feel conflicted. I like a lot of these covers so far, but I'm also starkly impressed by how few of them are able to really stand next to the originals. this one in particular, is so lacking in swagger compared to the orig. it just doesn't quiiiiite swing enough. it's a loving tribute though.

It's good and faithful but a straight up cover when I think most people were looking for a reinterpretation like what The National did with Morning Dew.

It's a good cover, I suppose, in a tribute sense. But isn't it a bit too much like the original? Don't get me wrong, I like this version as well as the original, but I think cover versions are much more interesting if they have more novelty. Perhaps it's just a very personal tribute to Jerry from Jim, though (and hence the "imitation").Looking forward to the Day of the Dead LP! Most songs on it have been surprisingly good.

I'm getting a Porno for Pyros / Roy Orbison feel.. Also getting some John Lennon too. Very chill track and it gets my nod.

The vocals are stellar, but the accompaniment is all too "straight". It sounds very 4/4, which is IMO a bit of a disservice to Jerry and the boys.

Only Jim can channel someone so gracefully, his cadence is so Jerry-like. Still infused with my favorite elements of a Jim cover... brilliant tribute.
