Album Description When Phil Lesh heard this 1999 second release from the Tricksters, he was so impressed with their ability to jam in the studio that he immediately flew guitarist Jeff Mattson and keyboardist Rob Barraco to San Francisco to be part of Phil & Friends. A Love Surreal contains favorites "Warm Heart", "Down The Road", "Say That I Am", and a very psychedelic "Goin' Down Slow" that features the pedal steel work of David Nelson Band's Barry Sless.

CD ReviewsOne of the best new CD's i have heard this year! 09/02/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "its hard to improve on the country gravy review above. it is a superb album that establishes the tricksters as one of the most versatile and talented bands going today. it is hard to classify them as they blend core elements of rock, jazz, psychedelic jam, and country. and the blend is organic, seamless, and inspired. the musicianship -- guitar, piano, bass and drums -- is first-rate and highly individualized. fans of jerry garcia, david grisman and django reinhardt will instantly recognize a kindred soul and talent in jeff mattson. rob baracco's keyboards are powerful and inspired, as are his vocals -- i love the hornsbeyesque intro to call of the wild. and klyph black on bass and joe chirco on sticks nail the rhythm section in classic dead tradition. and barry sless just rocks on the pedal steel. a virtuoso performance all in all. plus the cover art is pretty cool. cheers & enjoy, jsg" The Zen Tricksters come of age! 08/27/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "With their second cd (A Love Surreal), The Zen Tricksters, an amazingly talented quartet from New York, has shown the music world that their own original material stands on its own eight feet! Known internationally for their improvisational interpretations of the music of the Grateful Dead, this all-original 10 song cd showcases their songwriting skills across a diverse musical spectrum. Eilat and Down the Road are all-out toe-tapping rockers; That's All could be a top ten country ballad; Warm Heart is a bittersweet ballad with an incredible jam; Who Are You? is keyboardist Rob Barraco's tribute to Michael Curtiz' movie Casablanca; Calliope is another catchy tune with massive psychedelic overtones; Goin' Down Slow is a hypnotic powerful effort with an egyptian jam that will enthrall; Say That I Am is powerful, with crescendoes galore; Call of the Wild is extremely pleasing to the ear with harmonies that set this band apart from most others; and Where You Want To Be can only be described as a heavily jazz-influenced New Yorker kind of laid-back tune comparable to Joel's New York State of Mind! The thought-provoking lyrics and incredible musicianship displayed on this effort should send this band of talented New Yorkers to the next level! This is a keeper, folks! peace thru music, country gravy"
