Jefferson Starship \u2013 Mother Of The Sun<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Label: Golden Robot Records<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Release date: August 24th<\/sup>, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website: www.jeffersonstarship.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bad news at the very beginning is, that none of the original members of JEFFERSON STARSHIP have found their way into the current line-up. Paul Kantner died in 2016 and Grace Slick retired. But both the Kantner family and Slick not only gave the new incarnation their okay \u2013 the latter co-wrote the opener \u201cit\u2018s About Time\u201c, while ex member Marty Balin lent his experience on another song. And what about the music? \u201cMother Of The Sun\u201c combines all the strenghts long-time fans like me are expecting and though it\u2018s \u201conly\u201c an EP with seven tracks it will definetely end on various lists as one of the best Classic Rock albums in 2020. Take the opener \u201cIt\u2018s About Time\u201c, without the shadow of the doubt is one of the strongest Melodic Rock tunes released in 2020. Nearly as impressive is \u201eRunaway Again\u201c on which Cathy Richardson sounds like a deadringer to the immortal Grace Slick. \u201cWhat Are We Waiting For?\u201c has a decent FLEETWOOD MAC touch and is included with an extended mix as a bonus. Apart from the too long instrumental \u201cEmbryonic Journey\u201c (which mainly is a psychedelic guitar solo courtesy of Jude Gold), there is little to complain about this release. Great songs, fantastic production \u2013 JEFFERSON STARSHIP definetely has a bright future! <\/p>\n\n\n\n 8,5\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andreas H\u00f6hn<\/p>\n\n\n\n Track List:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.
