Grateful Dead Family Discography: I'm Troubled

I'm Troubled

Composer: Traditional

Performed by the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band and by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman.

Uncertain of the origins of this song. The chorus appears to be unique to the song. The verses vary between recordings but are usually floating verses that also occur in other songs. The title is sometimes I'm Troubled, I'm Troubled.

This is not the same song as Trouble In Mind which was also performed by the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band. There is sometimes confusion between the two songs on setlists. Hopefully that confusion has been avoided on the list of recordings below.
