... the GD have one of the greatest books of original songs in pop-rock history. ... like Friend Of The Devil, Jack Straw, Eyes, Casey Jones, Touch Of Gray, Truckin and on and on.
Casey Jones is not an original, it is a re-write of an old folk protest song
The Hunter/Garcia song "Casey Jones" is a wholly original song, both musically & lyrically, sharing only the same subject as the old folk song "The Ballad of Casey Jones".
