Recorded in 1970, Paul Kantner's "Blows against the Empire" epitomises the best of American West coast "Hippy" music. Nominally by "Jefferson Starship" this album expands the themes of many Jefferson Airplane albums of anti-establishmentism and postulates the theory of escaping from authority in a space craft. Recorded in an era when musicians guested (offically or unofficially) on each others albums, the musicians read like a "who's who" of San Fransico muscians of the time. They include such notables as Jerry Garcia, Graham Nash & David Crosby plus many others. The album starts with the rather angry "Mau Mau (Amerikon)" which sets the scene of defiance and escape, through the more hopeful "The Baby Tree", "Let's Go Together", "A Child is Coming" and "Sunrise". The story continues with the optimistic "Hijack", "Home" and "Have You Seen The Stars Tonite" and ends with the superb "Starship" wich features some virtuoso lead guitar by Jerry Garcia. The album is held together by the excellent piano playing and vocals of the supremely talented Grace Slick. In my opinion, it's almost unbeleivable that Jefferson Starship never again rose to these hights, descending in various guises to become the "pop" band Starship. I suppose we all grow older and lose the certainty and commitment of youth! Luckily this album lives on and I would recommend it to any latterday wouldbe hippies! Amazon-Kunde
