about

It’s a fact of life, and rule of the music industry: When things appear too good to be true, they usually are. This is certainly not the case with Cutler’s Crossing the Line, which features stars past, present and future, including Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead), Bob Weir (Grateful Dead, RatDog), Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane), David Nelson and Dave Torbert (New Riders of the Purple Sage), Jerry Miller, (Moby Grape), harmonica ace Matthew Kelly (RatDog, Kingfish), Michael Falzarano (Hot Tuna), Mark Karan (The Other Ones, RatDog), pianist Austin deLone (Elvis Costello, Boz Scaggs), steel guitarist Barry Sless (Phil Lesh & Friends, David Nelson Band), and guitarist Scotty Quik (Sammy Hagar).

“Starlite Jamboree”, a tribute to Garcia, came out of a loose jam Cutler had with Garcia. When Cutler heard the sad news of Jerry’s passing (in 1995), he felt compelled to complete the tune -- one that carries with it a poignancy that Cutler could not have imagined when he first tinkered with its arrangement.

“One of the things that Jerry and I used to talk about was this idea of a ‘Starlite Jamboree’, a place where dead and live musicians could play together in some netherworld, like an episode of the Twilight Zone,” Cutler says. “I had some tracks of Jerry playing over the changes to the song. When I heard the news that Jerry died, I was devastated. I picked up my guitar and the first thing I played was the riff to ‘Starlite Jamboree’, because it reminded me of him. Spontaneously, I finished the song. I had never had a complete lyric for it until that moment.”
