In the Dark

In the Dark is a 1987 studio album by the Grateful Dead that blends country rock, rock, blues rock, folk rock, and roots rock into a compact, late 1980s studio sound. The material moves between driving, guitar-led rockers, blues-tinged grooves, and folk-rooted balladry, emphasizing melody and more concise arrangements while retaining elements of the band's improvisational and roots-oriented approach.
