Robert M. Petersen Discography
This is a discography of recordings that include songs with lyrics by Robert M. Petersen. Petersen provided lyrics for four Grateful Dead songs; New Potato Caboose, Unbroken Chain, Pride of Cucamonga and Revolutionary Hamstrung Blues.
Robert Petersen was born in Klamath Falls, Oregon in 1936. He appears to have lived a life 'on the road' with periods hopping freights, playing jazz saxophone and in a vocational institution. He 'deposited' his poetry with Phil Lesh, Alan Trist and possibly others from the mid-1960's onward. A privately printed volume of his work, Far Away Radios, was distributed by the Grateful Dead office from 1980 onward. Robert Petersen died in 1987. A collection of his poetry, Alleys Of The Heart was published in 1988.
