Free Music Notes for Jefferson Airplane Takes Off
Free Music Review: An excellent, exciting, must-have album
Hit: 5 Stars
What a debut! This is a classic of 60s music and surely one of the best rock albums ever. It's superb from start to finish, exciting and refreshing like the Beatles' LP "A Hard Day's Night", but with a dose of the blues. The album opener "Blues from an Airplane" is a lovely mid-tempo song with gorgeous harmony singing (nicely coupled with Marty Balin's plaintive vocals) and attractive guitarwork. Next we have "Let Me In", a marvelous rocker with a stunning lead vocal by Paul Kantner and great electric guitar playing (has any group ever equalled JA's virtuosity with that instrument?). And then another fine rocker, "Bringing Me Down", with a groovy riff that you'll dig! The remaining eight songs are all great as well - right through to Balin's powerful blues closer "And I Like It" - as are the bonus tracks, especially "High Flying Bird".
Signe Anderson, Airplane's female vocalist only on this one album, has a voice that's amazingly similar to Grace Slick's, and after listening to "JA Takes Off" you'll be left in little doubt that she was just as good. Or putting it a little differently, we can say that Airplane was very fortunate in finding a new female vocalist as good as Signe. She handles the lead on "Chauffeur Blues" and makes strong contributions to "High Flying Bird" and "Let's Get Together" (just a two-line solo lasting 10 seconds in the latter, but how beautifully she sings it!).
So, fasten your seat belt and take off on Jefferson Airplane!
