Wake of the Flood is a studio album by rock band the Grateful Dead. Released October 15, 1973, it was the first album on the band's own Grateful Dead Records label. Their first studio album in nearly three years, it was also the first without founding member Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, who had recently died. His absence and keyboardist Keith Godchaux's penchants for bebop and modal jazz (rather than McKernan's tendencies toward the blues and soul music) contributed to the band's musical evolution. Godchaux's wife, backing vocalist Donna Godchaux, also joined the group and appears on the album.[5]
The release fared better on the pop charts than their previous studio album (1970's American Beauty), reaching #18.[6] An expanded version was released in 2004.
