I love this song. It’s just so fun. The chorus is a great to sing along with and it moves along at a brisk clip.

Norton Buffalo, of Steve Miller Band fame, wrote Ain’t No Bread In The Breadbox and I’m not entirely sure how or when the song reached Garcia, but I’m glad it did. A quick search on the official Garcia site suggests that the song was played about 65 times by the Jerry Garcia Band between 1991 and 1995. It appears here on Shining Star and a version also surfaced on Pure Jerry, Vol. 7. This is yet another song that gets me super pumped when it’s released.
