"Bird Song" comes from Garcia, the January 1972 record that gave the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia his first solo album, made after Warner Bros. offered the Dead the chance to cut records on their own. Garcia wrote the music to Robert Hunter's words and plays almost everything himself, acoustic and electric guitar, pedal steel, bass, piano and organ, with Bill Kreutzmann the only other player, on drums. Bob Matthews and Betty Cantor-Jackson produced and engineered it, and Garcia mixed it with them and Ram Rod.
As one of the album's six Hunter co-writes, it went on to become a standard in the Grateful Dead's live repertoire.
