Freedom At Point Zero 1979 Album

Jefferson Starship

The hallmarks of the new Jefferson Starship – on this record, like it or not – were Mickey Thomas and "Jane". The rest of the record pretty much goes by the boards, but the 'Ship sounds more energized than ever. Even sort of, well, updated, if you can believe it. This is moderately removed from even the previous effort, with the throwback Balin-led ballads that still had a tentative link to the 60's. The big tradeoff here is the loss of Slick and her idiosyncrasies, but not like she was gone very long, either!
