SURREALISTIC PILLOW

I am very glad that Jefferson Airplane is added to this site because this band was one of the pioneers in the second half of the Sixties. From the very first time I heard this band I was delighted about their warm and exciting, very distinctive sound. Of course the singles Somebody To Love and White Rabbit (both on this album) were my first musical encounter with Jefferson Airplane but I was pleasantly surprised that the quality of these timeless hit singles was to be found back on their LP's as I soon discovered. The songs alternate between folk, rock, blues and psychedelia and sound very melodic and harmonic. Their strong points are the excellent duo - and even triple vocal parts, the great interplay between the guitars (soli and rhythm) and the fluent rhythm-section that lead every song to the right direction, from dreamy (warm twanging acoustic guitar, vocals and flute) to swinging and up-tempo rock (fiery electric guitar work). This is a band that delivers a sound that is typically rooted in the Sixties but also sounds timeless, because it's pure quality (like Forever Changes by Love, rest in peace Arthur Lee).
