Vocals by Taj Mahal. Jerry Garcia said that Mike Bloomfield was a big influence on his own blues playing. Also, John Kahn was a prime member of the Jerry Garcia Band.
If you listen to some of the blues numbers by the Grateful Dead prior to 1970, you can hear the influences of Mike Bloomfield and Freddie King on Jerry's playing (especially his blues tone from that era before he switched to an Strat in the early 70s).
Thanks again!

One time after a Taj Mahal concert we gave him some nice Jamaican weed and hung out with him while we enjoyed it. Ah, the good old days!
Mike Bloomfield doesn't get near enough love for just how good he was!
