Editorial Review:
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.
Album Description:
Jefferson's Tree Of Liberty is an unusual Jefferson Starship album in a number of ways. First, it's the first covers album any Jefferson configuration has ever recorded in their five-decade career, which is a noteworthy event in itself, but that's not the only thing different about JTOL. When Jefferson Starship decided to cut a whole album of folk tunes popularized by their heroes and peers, it was decided to create a sound not too dissimilar to the early version of the Airplane that Kantner and Balin founded over 40 years ago. The CD features one song with Grace Slick and has Paul Kantner, David Freiberg, Darby Gould, Cathy Richardson, David LaFlamme, Mart Balin, David Grisman and Prairie Prince also on the CD.

I WAS TOLD IT WOULD ARRIVE MARCH 5 - 20. FIRST OFF...WHAT KIND OF SCHEDULE IS THAT? A 15 DAY WINDOW?
SECONDLY, IT IS MARCH 29 TODAY AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY ORDER. I AM NOT HAPPY!!!!!! I BOUGHT 2 OF THE SAME CD'S. ONE FOR MYSELF, ONE FOR A BIRTHDAY GIFT.
BTW...THESE WERE ORDERED ON FEB. 28TH. I AM NOT HAPPY AT ALL!

I loved the Airplane and some of the Starship, but this utterly redundant CD is just too lame for words.
Lifeless, plodding, and pointless, just going through the motions, with a selection of songs that seems to have been picked in 10 minutes over a mug of latte at Starbucks -- "Good enough, that'll do". Was it recorded in one afternoon or did it take the whole two? This isn't the Starship. Even a Starship tribute band would cringe at performing this one.

I still love the old Jefferson Airplane. I sort of liked the first couple of Jefferson Starship albums like "Blows Against The Empire", but pretty much hated what came later. When I read some of the reviews on this new release, I wanted to get hear more out of curiosity than anything else. I can see where anybody listening for the Airplane or Starship might be disappointed. Thats not what is going on here. You have to really sit down and give it a listen on it's own merits. It has more of a roots ... Read More

If your are expecting more San Francisco Rock and Roll you will be disappointed, as this album is mostly folk tunes, a little bluegrass, some country even, not your usual fare from these folks. I guess they are trying to get back to their roots. But if you like the familiar voices with this different kind of music you will like this CD.

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, ...
