    High tide in Psychedelia, USA
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2018*

"Volunteers" was significant in many ways in 1969. It was Jefferson Airplane's last album to feature the band's classic lineup. It was their last album of the 60's. It articulated many 60's concepts and causes. There are songs about the potential uprising of the younger generation ("We Can Be Together", "Volunteers"), the joys of country living ("The Farm"), a post-apocalyptic world ("Wooden Ships") and the ecology ("Eskimo Blue Day"). Its sound was a defining sound for 60's rock. Practically every track features fantastic guitar work, but more than that, the guitar sounds represent the standard for what by that time had coalesced into a separate genre, "psychedelic rock".Some of my favorites stand out because of their sound, others because of their lyrical content, and some because of both. Paul Kantner's "We Can Be Together" is a perfect example of JA's rousing lyrics, vocal harmonies and searing guitar. The lyrics clearly spoke to the young generation: "We are all outlaws in the eyes of America...We must begin here and now...Tear down the walls."  The title track rocks and speaks in the same way: "Look what's happening out in the streets/Got a revolution/Got to revolution...Hey now it's time for you and me." "Hey Frederick" is a track written and sung by Grace Slick, slightly similar to "rejoyce" (from a previous album) but stronger, and it includes a long exploratory instrumental. Another similarity to "rejoyce" is her surreal poetic lyrics: "Either go away or go all the way in/Look at what you hold/Come back down on a spear of silence." "Wooden Ships", written by Paul with David Crosby and Stephen Stills, is a moody, folk-like track about survival in a post-apocalyptic world: "Horror grips us as we watch you die/All we can do is echo your anguished cry and/Stare as all your human feelings die/We are leaving/You don't need us." "Turn My Life Down" is an unusual track from Jorma Kaukonen. It has trademark JA harmonies but sounds more like a mid-tempo pop song which happens to include psychedelic guitar.There are 5 bonus tracks, all taken from performances at the Fillmore East on November 28 & 29 of 1969. I am generally not very fond of live music, much preferring studio, but I find 2 of these very worthwhile: "Good Shepherd", with exceptionally good guitar, and "Somebody To Love", on which Grace sings the verses in a very free-form manner, proving not only that she got inspired but also had the talent to express it.

    The Best It's Ever Sounded
  

*by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2004*

I haven't done a side-by-side comparison with the Mobile Fidelity CD, but I think RCA have done VOLUNTEERS proud. The band's first 16 track recording, the album's dense production always suffered on vinyl (especially on Dynaflex) but it has been substantially sorted-out here thanks to the state of digital recording technologies.I was relieved to hear, from the get-go, a palpable bass presence, and as with the new remaster of BLESS ITS POINTED LITTLE HEAD, the multiple strands of instrumentalists are so clearly delineated that you can listen to the whole canvas or decide which musician you'd care to focus on, and follow. I never quite realized what a percussive performance "We Can Be Together" is given: Spencer Dryden's drums are competing with Paul's Kantner's acoustic and Nicky Hopkins' piano, and probably Marty Balin's tambourine, but as I say, all are audible now, giving the track an impressive sonic complexity. The acoustic guitars on "Good Shepherd" and "Turn My Life Down" sound as clear as river water chuckling over rocks in the flow, and all of the drums in Spencer's kit have clearer definition, so that we not only hear a backbeat but lots of jazz-flavored fills and percussive coloring. The most impressive tracks, sonically, are the ones that are most sparsely instrumentalized, such as "Eskimo Blue Day," and the extra space introduced in the sound of the recording gives Jack Casady's bass that much extra room in which to sound fuller, more rounded. (If this album has any seminal fault, it's that the band went overboard filling those 16 tracks, not realizing that less can be more, as is demonstrated here.) Even weaker tracks like "The Farm" and "A Song for All Seasons" become more interesting given the more pronounced and appreciable interplay of the musicians, especially Hopkins and Casady. Still, I have to accord MVP rating on this album to Jorma Kaukonen, never more impassioned in the studio than during his searing solo on "Wooden Ships" and never more mind-boggling than in his duet with himself on Grace Slick's "Hey Fredrick." The outstanding quality of his performance has shone through the murkiest mixes and masterings RCA could hurl at this album, and it's just breathtaking here.Unlike the live bonus tracks on BLESS ITS POINTED LITTLE HEAD, the live bonus tracks on VOLUNTEERS -- same venue, one year later -- are superb and a boon to the overall package. The band is well-mixed and they play as if they know they are being recorded, and it matters to them to be at their best. Some audience members have clearly heard the new album and respond warmly when "Wooden Ships" is introduced, and this, "Good Shepherd" and the title track are all given near-definitive live recitals.Warmly recommended.Pet warning: The rumbling iceberg sounds that close "Eskimo Blue Day" sent my cats running out of the room.
