Shady Grove is a 1969 album by Quicksilver Messenger Service.
Nicky Hopkins, the English journeyman pianist who appears on albums by The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Beatles and Steve Miller, joined the group for this album. This album is somewhat dominated by him, and has a different flavor. David Freiberg's presence is strong and the Quicksilver sound is still apparent.

"Joseph's Coat", co-written by John Cipollina and Nick Gravenites, also appears on Big Brother and the Holding Company's album Be a Brother, which featured Gravenites on vocals.
