The quintessential San Francisco psychedelic band and a defining force in popbefore turning toward political 

statements in the late '60s. Jefferson Airplane was the first of the San Francisco psychedelic rock groups 

of the 1960s to achieve national recognition. Although the Grateful Dead ultimately proved more 

long-lived and popular, Jefferson Airplane defined the San Francisco sound in the 1960s, with the acid rock 

guitar playing of Jorma Kaukonen and the soaring twin vocals of Grace Slick and Marty Balin, scoring hit singles 

and looking out from the covers of national magazines. They epitomized the drug-taking hippie ethos 

as well as the left-wing, antiwar political movement of their time, and their history was one of 

controversy along with hit records. Their personal interactions mirrored those times; the group was a collective 

with shifting alliances, in which leaders emerged and retreated. But for all the turmoil, 

Jefferson Airplane was remarkably productive between 1965 and 1972

Bark, Jefferson Airplane's seventh album, was an album of firsts: it was the first Airplane 

album in almost two years, the first made after the arrival of violinist Papa John Creach 

and the departure of band founder Marty Balin, and the first to be released on the 

group's own Grunt Records label. It was also the first Airplane album made after the onset 

of that familiar rock group disease, solo career-itis. Rhythm guitarist Paul Kantner 

had released his Blows Against the Empire, and Hot Tuna, the band formed by 

lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady, had released two albums 

since the last Airplane group release, Volunteers. Bark, perhaps as a result, was 

not so much a group record as a bunch of songs made by alternating solo artists 

with backup by the other group members. (Did someone say White Album?) 

Kantner's tunes were science-fiction epics reminiscent of Blows; Kaukonen's 

"Feel So Good" and the instrumental "Wild Turkey" were indistinguishable from Hot Tuna music, 

while his lilting ballad, "Third Week in the Chelsea," was nothing less than his resignation 

from the band, rendered in song; while Grace Slick's two contributions were 

characteristically idiosyncratic. The album's surprise was "Pretty as You Feel," 

a chart single that emerged out of a jam between new drummer 

Joey Covington, Casady, and Kaukonen...(AllMusic)
