The Music Never Stopped Another highlight! This Bob Weir and John Barlow song combines a great amount of Funk and mystique. Blues for Allah This conclusion is surely the oddest on the album. And most Middle Eastern influenced. The opening section is quite creepy. There is a good amount of percussion, and the lyrics are sang in a Gregorian chant fashion. The melodies are very odd. A few minutes later, the tune adds in the rest of the instruments. The playing is also very erie.
