![]() The Best of Grace Slick $7.98 Another Classic CD that I found on Amazon. What a great place to find used CD's at a low price. ![]() White Rabbit $0.99 All I can say about this album is that I can see why Grace Slick went looking for a better band. ![]() Manhole $19.98 Grace Slick is arguably the best vocalist in the history of the universe. She could have dominated any type of music if she wished. Give her a hat and boots and she'd set the standard for weepy Country ladies. Put 100 pounds, a breastplate and a helm with ox horns on her and she be the best fat lady ever to sing. No one holds and varies a note better than Slick. As proof, listen to "Theme From The Movie Manhole." One of her many talents is to slide into a vocal and take it over, bending it to her will -- suddenly the song is Grace, yet she never steps on her fellow musicians (Listen to "Knock Me Out" on Linda Perry's excellent album "In Flight"). Of course, on "Theme From The Movie Manhole," Grace is almost by herself in front of a rock band composed of luminaries of the San Francisco Sound, plus David Crosby, and a string-and-horn orchestra. It's a tour de force. "Sunrise." "Hey Frederick." "Eskimo Blue Day." "Wooden Ships." "Lather." "Triad." If you like the Airplane, buy this. If you liked the original, first Starship, buy this. You like Kantner, buy this. If you like the pop Starship, buy this anyway. If you like great female vocals, buy this. If you are happy China Slick was on MTV, buy this. Can you tell I like Grace? (We've had two dogs named Lather.) Filter my remarks accordingly. And buy this. Grace will appreciate the retirement income. ![]() Dreams $22.99 I am quite pleased with the purchase. The CD sound is first rate. It arrived relatively quick considering it came from overseas. |
