Grateful Dead bola americká rocková skupina založená v roku 1965 v Kalifornii, známa svojím eklektickým štýlom spájajúcim prvky rocku, folku, bluegrassu, blues, country, jazzu a psychedelie. Preslávila sa dlhými improvizáciami na koncertoch a oddanou fanúšikovskou základňou, v roku 2007 získala Grammy za celoživotný prínos.
Workingman's Dead, štvrtý štúdiový album skupiny, vyšiel v júni 1970 u Warner Bros. Records a bol časopisom Rolling Stone vyhlásený za najlepší album roka. Album sa spolu so svojím nasledovníkom American Beauty odklonil od psychedelickej experimentácie smerom k severoamerickému folkrockovo orientovanému songwritingu Jerryho Garciu a Roberta Huntera. Táto rozšírená reedícia z roku 2020, vydaná u vydavateľstva Rhino k päťdesiatemu výročiu pôvodného albumu, obsahuje novozremasterovanú nahrávku všetkých 8 štúdiových skladieb a navyše na druhom a treťom CD kompletný záznam koncertu z 21. februára 1971 v Capitol Theatre v Port Chester, New York, s celkovo 32 skladbami. Počuť na ňom možno okrem iných Uncle John's Band, Casey Jones, Cumberland Blues alebo koncertné verzie Me and Bobby McGee, Ripple a Johnny B. Goode.
V čase vydania albumu tvorili zostavu Ron „Pigpen“ McKernan, Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Tom Constanten, Bruce Hornsby, Robert Hunter a Rob Wasserman.
