Description

After the massive commercial success of Surrealistic Pillow the Airplane were allowed immense freedom and studio time to record this follow up. The result is a wonderful record of a band at the height of it's creative power. Every time I play this album it gives the same sense of excitement as when I first bought it. I find it hard to explain just where the genius of the record lies - it is certainly there in the stunning harmonies and interplay of the vocal attack of Balin, Slick Kantner and Kaukonen. It is there in the inventive and driving rhythm section of Casady, Kantner, Dryden and Kaukonenmore…. It is there in the distinctive razor sharp guitar of Jorma Kaukonen. Above all else it lies in the material itself which moves from the fey to the powerful to the experimental by turns. There are no better recordings from 1967 than Martha and Young Girl Sunday Blues, nothing more expressive of the love and peace movement than Saturday Afternoon/Wont you try? Moving, exhilirating, confusing and uplifting I consider it the standout work of 1967 - and what guts or blind arrogance or both to turn away from the fey folk charms of Surrealistic Pillow and its massive success to this.
