Known not only for being a veteran member of the Grateful Dead, drummer Mickey Hart is also a pioneer of worldbeat music (from long before the term came into the vernacular), exploring, producing, and intermingling various forms of music (and in some cases, pure sound) from all across the globe. OVER THE EDGE AND BACK is a fascinating cross-section of Hart's unique fusions, spanning the years 1976 to 1996. Among the performers helping Hart realize his vision(s) are fellow Dead member Jerry Garcia, American folk icon Joan Baez, legendary African drummer Babatunde Olatunji, and Brazilian jazz vocalist Flora Purim.
