Previous Episode
Starship - Love Among the Cannibals (1989)
As Starship prepared to release their third album, 1989's Love Among the Cannibals, a lot had changed. Grace Slick had departed from the lineup - severing the last link to the original Jefferson Airplane crew. But vocalist Mickey Thomas, a veteran of six albums with Jefferson Starship and Starship, was there to guide the ship forward vocally. Guitarist Craig Chaquico and drummer Donny Baldwin were also still on board. On the heels of two successful hit albums, it seemed reasonable that they were poised to continue the streak.
So what happened? That's one of the questions that Jeff and Matt seek to answer with today's discussion. They also talk about the long and complicated saga of Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship and how it compares to other similarly complex group dynamics.
As mentioned in the episode, music fans who enjoy a good rock book that doesn't hold back on the dirt and brutal quotes are encouraged to seek out a copy of Jeff Tamarkin's book. Got a Revolution: The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane is a crucial trip for all who enjoy this episode.

Next Episode
Maggie and Terre Roche - Seductive Reasoning (1975)
Fellow music nerds who love harmony will know a thing or three about the Roches. But you might not be aware of an album that came before the group.
Maggie and Terre Roche's Seductive Reasoning arrived in 1975 and helped to lay the groundwork for the Roches' debut that emerged four years later in 1979.
Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls joins Jeff and Matt to share the importance of Seductive Reasoning -- and how the Roches influenced her own musical path.
We discuss a wide range of topics, including Amy's newest solo album, If It All Goes South. Fans will get a chance to hear songs from the record live as Amy heads out on the road with her band starting in early February for a month's worth of dates.
The tour begins in Dallas and includes a stop at Nashville historic Ryman Auditorium, where Amy will be opening for Tedeschi Trucks Band.
Along the way, she'll play a number of other headlining dates, wrapping things up in Georgia with gigs in Athens and Atlanta. Kevn Kinney of Drivin N Cryin will be sharing the bill for all of the dates except Nashville.
P.S. Matt is getting over a cold and apologizes for the bit of coughing in the intro. Happy New Year!
P.S.S. It's the one year anniversary of The Record Player. We talk about that a bit.
Additional Stuff:
Read Amy's interview with The Big Takeover that we reference during today's podcast.
Listen to the great Indigo Girls interview on the We Can Do Hard Things podcast.
Yes, there's an Indigo Girls documentary coming this year! We can't wait to see It's Only Life After All, which premieres at the upcoming Sundance Festival.
