Don't Listen For The Past

"I still love the old Jefferson Airplane. I sort of liked the first couple of Jefferson Starship albums like "Blows Against The Empire", but pretty much hated what came later. When I read some of the reviews on this new release, I wanted to get hear more out of curiosity than anything else. I can see where anybody listening for the Airplane or Starship might be disappointed. Thats not what is going on here. You have to really sit down and give it a listen on it's own merits. It has more of a roots folk feel to it, with some outstanding vocals. The songs are coming from the past, but don't look for the Airplane. This is something else, and its good."

A Really Good Album.

"Love the harmonies and togetherness and hope in this album. The sound of a band really caring about their craft. Inspirational and somber. A treasure. Buy it."

Going Strong I See. I'm All Back In.

"OK, I can't keep up with all my youthful band's later releases when so many new groups are emerging. I've lost track of much of JS output the last couple decades, but have always enjoyed their style. When I heard Cathy Richardson was now in the band, I decided to check out their last LP. Cathy was/is a local favorite here in Chicago. Not sure which tracks she is on, but I gave this LP a first pass listening and lit up and took notice. My personal favorite of many good tracks is the "The Royal Canal" or The Auld Triangle to others. What a strong duet with Diana Mangano (cited by other reviewers) to one of Ireland's most cherished songs. Bravo!"
