About The Album

On Lovely View of Heaven, Burbridge showcases his distinctive melodic bass lines and captivating vocals, accompanied by piano and strings, offering a poignant interpretation of the timeless songs of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter. The album was recorded in Iceland, and it serves as a deeply personal journey for Burbridge, who turned to the Garcia/Hunter catalog as a means of processing his own grief following the loss of his father, brother Kofi Burbridge, and mentor Col. Bruce Hampton. While paying homage to the Grateful Dead classics, Oteil Burbridge infuses his unique perspective into the Garcia/Hunter catalog, adding his own creative touches. Lovely View of Heaven captures the essence of Oteil Burbridge’s journey of self-discovery and healing, paying tribute to the legacy of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter while carving a unique path of its own.
