Paul Kantner / Grace Slick
Sunfighter
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1971 Gatefold Original Hollywood Press, With Custom Inner Sleeve. "This Is Something Of A Family Album, Co-credited To Paul Kantner And His Partner At The Time, Grace Slick, And Featuring On Its Cover A Photograph Of Their Infant Daughter, China. It Also Features The Family Of San Francisco Bay Area Musicians, Including David Crosby, Graham Nash, Jerry Garcia Of The Grateful Dead, And Other Current Members Of Jefferson Airplane And Future Members Of Jefferson Starship. Its Style Of Loosely Arranged Acid Rock Music And Radical Left Political Lyrics Is Similar To Such Recent Albums As The Kantner/starship Blows Against The Empire (December 1970) And The Airplane's Bark (August 1971), Which Were Made By Most Of The Same Players. But Kantner And Slick's Usual Stridency Is Not Counterbalanced By Substance As Much As On Earlier Efforts, Perhaps Because They Were Making Too Many Albums Too Quickly To Keep Up The Quality Of Their Songwriting. Still, Anyone Who Enjoys The Sweet-and-sour Unison Singing Of X's John Doe And Exene Cervenka Should Listen To Sunfighter To See Where They Got It From." AMG Review By William Ruhlmann.
