Circles Around the Sun – ‘Circles Around the Sun’ (2020)
Circles Around the Sun first gestated when Neal Casal was assigned to come up with intermission music for the Grateful Dead’s Fare Thee Well dates.

There might be some messages in these songs but the main takeaway from GospelbeacH’s ‘Let It Burn’ is that hippie music is good for the soul.
Is it jazz-rock fusion or just instrumental jam-rock? Such descriptions are superfluous when the music connects as ‘Let It Wander’ by Circles Around The Sun does.
GospelbeacH’s “Dreamin'” is Laurel Canyon all over again. And I love it.
Chris Robinson Brotherhood’s ‘Barefoot In The Head’ doesn’t ape the Black Crowes or the Grateful Dead. It takes the best of both and runs it through its own carefree filter.
That Grateful Dead spirit lives on in the down-to-earth musicianship of Chris Robinson and his Brotherhood. And like the Dead, live is better.
