Album Description:
The legendary Jefferson Starship is at it again.Moving forward by reaching back, and in doing so, daringly casting a light for a new generation of change-makers riveted by the group's first new studio album in a decade, Jeffersons' Tree Of Liberty.The 18 song CD finds the group harnessing rare gems from the great folk tradition that inspired the rock n' roll hall of fame band more than 4 decades ago.The brainchild of singer/songwriter/band co-founder Paul Kantner (and co-produced by band manager Michael Gaiman, recurring Jefferson Airplane/ Jefferson Starship fixture and Quicksilver Messenger Service founder David Freiberg and Paul Kantner), the album mixes it up with Jefferson's trademark knack for defying fans' expectations as well as their own, introducing a soaring new female voice on many of the songs, Cathy Richardson, and tapping rock icon and original Jefferson treasure Grace Slick to appear on the album's mesmerizing `Easter Egg' bonus track.

Rating:  - Sometimes, it's better not to look back
I love the old Jefferson Starship - Blows Against the Empire, and even other 'revolutionary' themed offerings from Paul Kantner and Grace Slick (Sunfighter, Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra), so was thrilled when I had heard they had released a 'new' old themed CD - if there were ever times that screamed for some type of protest, it's got to be the last 8 years of Republican controlled government (the Democrat controlled congress is a moot point if they can't override a veto), anyway - I thought, ...

Rating:  - Going to have to prove themselves...
I am a fan of Airplane/Starship from all the way back to the late 60's and early 70's. The late Starship stuff was pretty insipid, nothing I could recommend. I hope this is a genuine rebirth...but I am cautious. How about providing old fans with some samples??
Rating:  - What's Your Favorite Stripe on the Flag?
Wow! Paul Kantner and friends travel all the way around, back to the beginning, then break through to a new dimension! This is amazing, heartfelt stuff, drawing upon myriad influences from the early days. Yet it's not for Kantner to look backwards without looking forward. One could call it interplanetary folk music. Further!
Rating: - Ain't marching anymore
I did it to myself again. I read about this new disc of protest/folkish songs by the resurrected Starship and siad this sounds like it could be great. Maybe it could have but lordy. lordy this sucks. Someday I will learn that you can never go home.
I really liked the Airplane (despite a stint back stage with the truly unlikeable Grace Slick in the 60s); still do. The Starship had their moments but did begin to get a little too pop oriented. Nonetheless, most of their music was on the plus ... Read More
Rating: - Full Circle
It's nice to see a band remain not only active but relevant for more than 40 years. I'm always excited when the Jeffersons (Airplane/Starship) come out with something new. I wish it happened more frequently.
'Jefferson's Tree of Liberty' goes back to the sounds and songs of protest of the late '50's into the '60's. As Paul Kantner has said, sort of a reverse (electric to acoustic) of the route Bob Dylan went. The timeliness of these older songs having come full circle back to relevancy is ... Read More
