During rehearsals for their joint 1987 tour, Bob Dylan picked up a notebook of Robert Hunter's lyrics at the Grateful Dead's studio. He set "Silvio" and "Ugliest Girl in the World" to music and included them both on Down in the Groove, much to Hunter's surprise and delight. Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir and Brent Mydland contributed background vocals to "Silvio."
Enjoy!!
