By 1970, the Jefferson Airplane had already peaked. They had a couple of years left, but some of the band members were starting to leave or work on solo projects. Blows Against the Empire was one such album. This album was Paul Kantner's solo project with help from Grace Slick. But since it was mostly Kantner's material, he was the only one named on the cover. They did add Jefferson Starship to the title. This was the first use of this variation of Jefferson Airplane, but very far from the musical creation that came about a few years later with the same Starship moniker. Well, that was confusing.
In any case, here is the first cut off of the album. RIP Paul Kantner.
