Music reviews of Grace Slick & The Great Society
Music Review: You might be surprised to find out that ...
Rating: 4 Stars
Prior to being in the Jefferson Airplane, Grace Slick fronted a band called The Great Society, which included her then husband, Jerry Slick, on drums, and her brother-in-law, Darby Slick, on guitar and vocals. From what I've read, the group was inspired to form after seeing the Jefferson Airplane, which is ironic insofar as Grace subsequently left The Great Society to join the Jefferson Airplane after their original lead singer, Signe Toly Anderson, left the band following the birth of her first child. You might also be surprised to know that two of the Jefferson Airplane's most popular songs, "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" originally were created by The Great Society. The CD, "Collector's Item" reportedly was made from two live recordings in 1966 at the Matrix Club, in San Francisco, which initially were released separately on vinyl as "Conspicuous Only in its Absence" and "How It Was." Admittedly, there is a garage band quality to many of the songs on this CD, but that is an essential part of its beauty, at least to me, because it underscores the extent to which the musical sound the band was seeking to create was raw, fresh, and improvisational, and based more on a communal "zeitgeist" rather than their technical musical proficiency. For those interested in catching a glimpse of the roots of the San Francisco rock scene of the mid to late 1960's, this is a valuable CD. In addition to "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit," this CD compilation includes a number of other really good early psychedelic songs, including "Sally Go Round the Roses," "Grimly Forming," Often As I May," "Arbitration," "Darkly Smiling," "Born To Be Burned," and "Father." Grace Slick definitely was one of the best female rock vocalists of all time, and her singing is in fine form on this CD, which she has the lead vocal on for all but two songs ("Arbitration" and "You Can't Cry") as well as the last song on the disc, "Father," which is a pure instrumental number that has no vocals. Highly recommended.
