While credited solely to Peter Rowan, Texican Badman could safely be called a Peter Rowan/Jerry Garcia album supported David Grisman, Flaco Jiminez, John Kahn and fellow Grateful dead member, Bill Kreutzmanamong others. Garcia’s familiar guitar is all over this release. Grisman and Rowan had been members of Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys in the mid-sixties before forming rock band, Earth Opera. Rowan then moved on to Seatrain before forming Old & In The Way with Garcia, Kahn and Vassar Clements. Writer of Panama red for the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Rowan continues to tour constantly to this day.
