Back in October 2020, Hiss Golden Messenger’s M.C. Taylor wrote an essay that accompanied the Vinyl Me, Please Anthology The Story Of The Grateful Dead. There he explained how he eventually came to be a Grateful Dead fan, stating in part, “I think the music of the Grateful Dead has remained so constant in my life—even as my taste has evolved and other music has fallen away—because of how genuine it feels, and how vulnerable. To know even a little bit of the Dead’s history, crisscrossed by so much triumph and weird luck and tragedy, is to begin to understand their journey as something akin to a Greek myth, or perhaps an American crossroads tale in which the singer bargains for fame and fortune and poetry in exchange for his soul.”
Back in 2016, Hiss Golden Messenger visited Relix and performed “Brown-Eyed Woman” This is the same song he contributed to the Day Of The Dead compilation that came out the same year.
