Jefferson Starship- Winds Of Change

Their seventh album from 1982. Grace Slick is back in the band sharing lead vocals with Mickey Thomas and is involved in writing two songs,one with Craig Chaquico. This is another used one I bought for a couple dollars about five years ago. Again I knew the title track from the video but none of the other songs. Pete and Jeannette Sears seem to be the principal songwriters,writing four of the nine songs on the record. Paul Kantner wrote two,one with Grace and their ten year old daughter China called “Out Of Control” which is rather strange and one I didn’t like very much. “Black Widow” and “Keep On Dreamin'” are pretty rocking,but several of the Sear’s songs are more like power ballads a genre that is not my favorite. Like their last album it’s just OK with no standout tracks except “Wind Of Change”. The record has quite a few skips. One for the reject pile,but I do kind of like the cover. I may keep it for my wall of album cover I hope to make one day.
