Music reviews of Dragon Fly
Music Review: fantastic album
Rating: 5 Stars
Wow! No one has written a review for the SBME SPECIAL MKTS label of Jefferson Starship's "Dragon Fly", so here's what you can expect. There are absolutely NO notes or any kind of additional information whatsoever about the band members. No pictures, no information, no song titles, NOTHING but a blank white empty piece of cardboard. That explains why the price for these discs are so cheap.
However, what the liner notes lacks in information, the disc itself makes up for in *excellent* sound quality. The sound of the music is VERY clean, crisp, and I think it's about as perfect as you can possibly expect. I figured since many people are selling the disc for a cheap price, there HAS to be something wrong with this version. Such as lackluster sound quality. Never fear- apparently these SBME SPECIAL MKTS discs are totally worth owning for the amazing sound alone. Just don't expect to see any kind of band photos or booklets or a written history of the band or any kind of information like that.
NOW, with that out of the way, let's talk about the actual music. Jefferson Starship's debut is surprisingly underrated. I thought more people would have reviewed the album than what we have so far. To me that's kind of disappointing because the music this band was making on this album was unique. Sure, it's basically a continuation of Jefferson Airplane with an updated 70's sound and without the hard rock punch that made the Airplane so memorable. But the quality of the songwriting has remained.
You have Grace Slick's amazing vocal style where she can allow her voice to soar and elevate to new heights, and the guy lead singer who has TONS of emotion packed in his vocal style. "Caroline" is a good example of that. The best song on the album that features a verse melody similar to "Miracles". His ability to sing meaningful vocal melodies is really unbelievable. Looking back, he's probably in the top 10 greatest singers of the 70's. What a perfect voice.
You have a guitarist who has some of the best solos I've ever heard (seriously, I mean that). Some moments remind me of Jeff Beck from the Blow By Blow album. Some of the funky guitar playing on Dragon Fly is similar to a couple songs from that Beck album.
"Hyperdrive" sounds like the bands approach of trying space rock and it works really well, especially Grace's vocals that totally amaze me. It's almost like post-psychedelic space rock, and the lyrics are really adventurous too "That's for Sure" is the most underrated song on the album because of the emotional vocals that dominate it. "Be Young You" may be one of Grace Slick's finest moments as a lead singer. Not many people can sing like she did back in the 60's and 70's. "Come to Life" has a looping guitar riff that rules a lot. Just a perfect album really.
I love every single song. I can't believe some people only listen to the album for a couple songs. I listen to it for EVERY song. A must own album. Not as good as Red Octopus, but a close second.
