"Row Jimmy" sits on Wake of the Flood, the Grateful Dead's 1973 album and their first studio record in nearly three years. Jerry Garcia wrote the music and Robert Hunter the words, the band produced it themselves, and Dan Healy and Tom Anderson ran the tape.
A lot had changed around it. Ron "Pigpen" McKernan had died, and this was the first Dead album without him; Keith Godchaux's jazz leanings on keyboards were steering the band away from Pigpen's blues and R&B, and Donna Jean Godchaux had joined on vocals. It was also the first release on the band's own label, Grateful Dead Records, a declaration of independence from a band now running its own shop.
