Legendary Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir is set to release his new solo album, Blue Mountain, on September 30th. Weir’s release marks his first solo album in over 10 years, and his first batch of songwriting in over 30 years. This time, Weir reflects on his adolescence in Wyoming, referencing cowboys with acoustic guitars ablazing.

Today, Weir has shared the first cut from the new release. Thanks to NPR’s All Songs Considered, you can listen to the opening track, “Only A River,” streaming below.

The album features an extraordinary cast of musicians, including Josh Ritter, The National’s Bryce Dessner, Aaron Dessner and Scott Devendorf.  According to Rolling Stone, the full list of contributing musicians also includes: Ray Rizzo (drums, harmonium, harmonica, backup vocals), Joe Russo (drums), Jon Shaw (upright bass, piano), Rob Burger (keyboard, accordion, tuned percussion), Sam Cohen (electric guitar and pedal steel), Nate Martinez (guitars, harmonium, backup vocals), Jay Lane (drums, vocals), Robin Sylvester (upright bass, vocals, hammond organ) and Steve Kimock (lapsteel). The Bandana Splits – comprising Annie Nero, Lauren Balthrop and Dawn Landes – sing backup on the album.
