Rhino continues the career-spanning archival series honoring Robert Hunter's work as a solo artist with a deluxe reissue of his 1975 studio album, Tiger Rose. While Hunter is widely revered as the primary lyricist for the Grateful Dead, this series explores the depth of his solo work, offering a renewed appreciation for his exceptional artistry.
Tiger Rose (50th Anniversary Editions) will be available on March 28 from Rhino as a 2-CD (Deluxe Edition), as well as a 1-LP and digitally. Pre-order HERE.
Originally released in March 1975, the Jerry Garcia-produced Tiger Rose features contributions from Garcia, Mickey Hart and Donna Jean Godchaux. The Tiger Rose (50th Anniversary Editions) have been remastered from the original analog tapes by GRAMMY® Award-Winning Engineer David Glasser using Plangent Processes tape restoration and speed correction.
The 2-CD Deluxe Edition introduces a freshly remastered version of the original album alongside nine previously unreleased alternate versions of album tracks.
In the Deluxe Edition liner notes, Jesse Jarnow (author, DJ, and cohost of the "Good Ol' Grateful Deadcast") deftly captures the essence of the album: "Complex and inviting, the world of Tiger Rose overflows with Hunter's lyrical signatures, painting new corners of the already wide landscape he'd begun to map with the Dead. There are stacks of simple and beguiling images ("Dance A Hole"), cosmic advice ("One Thing To Try"), dispatches from mystical landscapes ("Rose Of Sharon"), and folkloric characters ("Wild Bill")."
Robert Hunter's Tiger Rose Rarities will also be available as a 1LP exclusively at select independent music retailers as a part of RECORD STORE DAY 2025 on April 12. Find your nearest participating retailer HERE.
