Jerry Garcia Friend Of The Devil (Rainbow Foil Edition Exclusive)

““Friend of the Devil” is one of my all time favorite Garcia/Hunter songs. I originally got into Jerry & the Dead through my love of ’70s country music, and this song has always been a favorite of mine. The lyrics immediately paint a picture in your head and lend themselves perfectly to a visual representation. I wanted to capture the uncertainty of how the song ends, showing our main character outrunning the law and jumping onto the caboose of a train, just catching it before it heads over a bridge. The smoke from the train engine forms a devil like figure reaching down to give him a hand onto the back of the caboose, leaving us to wonder if he just escaped danger or if his journey has only really just begun. And for those of you counting, I swear there are another 15 hounds just out of frame running behind that lawman.””
