Notes: It
doesn't matter if it's acoustic or electric...it's always Tuna.
Jorma is a master of the guitar and Jack the bass. Together, and
with their friends, they chug along and take us with them. I had
always felt that they were the core of the Airplane and
that they escaped all that Starship stuff relatively unscathed.
The roots of this music can be found in old gospel songs and down
home blues. The voice comes across as one that has talked through
the night, through a haze of smoke and across vocal cords lubricated
with a mighty brew. The soaring fiddle lines produced by Papa John
still raise those little hairs at the back of the neck. Very interesting
line work graces the cover and it came with a matching sleeve as
well. If you enjoy Hot Tuna you may be interested in looking up
some of the original songs by the Rev. Gary Davis to see where
Jorma found his muse.
