We’re less than one month away from the release of Day Of The Dead, the massive, 59-track tribute album to the Grateful Dead curated by alternative rockers The National. The album is due out on May 20th via 4AD, and so far six of the 59 tracks have been shared. Among them, covers by Phosphorescent & Jenny Lewis, Courtney Barnett, Bruce Hornsby, The War On Drugs and The National have us thoroughly optimistic for the new release.
