In the Dark

Six years after releasing their last studio album, the Dead delivered 1987’s *In the Dark*, which became a surprise late-career hit, making the band more popular than ever with its polished, well-worn sound. The bluesy \"West L.A. Fadeaway\" and the amiable, roots-rocking \"Touch of Grey\" are as warm and folky as anything they\'ve done, featuring some of their most concise and appealing arrangements since the early ‘70s.
