CD ReviewsDoing what they do best Timothy D. SHELFER | Arlington, Tx | 05/24/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "I never cared much for Jefferson Airplane. Their electric guitar playing was weak, their politics trite and overstated, and Grace Slick - Grace was, well, Grace.What if you could find an Airplane album largely devoid of electric guitars and politics, and completely devoid of Grace? Friend, this is your lucky day. "JA Takes Off" was one of those albums I bought and just wore the grooves off of. So I've enjoyed getting reacquainted with it after all these years. This album is all about good acoustic guitar work, strong harmonies, and soaring tenor voices. Good thing, because that's where the group really excelled. "Don't Slip Away" just haunts me with its power and rhythm. "Let's Get Together" - betcha never heard it like this before - the Youngbloods' version sounds kind of sleepy in comparison. And original lead singer Signe Anderson gets to show off her vocal pipes when she belts out "Chauffeur Blues". As it is, I never made it past Surrealistic Pillow, with the exception of a few mid-70s Jefferson Starship songs. What a shame - if all their albums sounded like this, I'd have a stack of their stuff."
