Blows Against The Empire 1970 Album

Jefferson Starship Paul Kantner

A veritable who's who of the San Fran acid-rock scene plays on this, aggregated by radical-in-chief Paul Kantner, and it's no accident much of this resembles the material from the Volunteers record. There's even a "Wooden Ships" part 2 called "Starship". It ends up sounding like an all-star cast paying tribute to the group that created the previous record. Grace Slick faithfully tags along on piano and would team with Kantner for two more records in the next three years. Another intriguing if erratic JA-related release.
