I didn't know/realize that was a Tom Waits song. I've always thought it was the Eagles that wrote it (just an assumption since they wrote the majority of their songs). Love that track!
Not always.
Take it easy was mostly Jackson Brown. He wrote or co-wrote a number of things early on.
And a fairly large number of their songs are co-written with J.D. Souther.
Already Gone was a cover. Jack Tempchin
Peaceful Easy Feeling cover. Jack Tempchin
Heartache Tonight collaboration with Bob Seger and J. D. Souther
But I'm not criticizing.
In the context of this thread you have to notice that Jerry wrote with Robert Hunter and Bob wrote with John Perry Barlow.
I'm not aware of any dead songs that either wrote on their own.
But I will go on record and say that Robert Hunter is one of the very best lyricists in the world. Just endlessly compelling lyrics. They get in your head and won't stop.
And they still are great as Dead and Company
