Bark, released in 1971, is one of the strong late-period albums by Jefferson Airplane, notable for many "firsts" with its major personnel change. It was the first without band founder Marty Balin and the first with violinist Papa John Creach. Drummer Spencer Dryden had also departed, being replaced by Joey Covington. This was the first all new Airplane LP in two years, the previous being Volunteers, released in 1969. It was also the first to be released under the Jefferson Airplane owned Grunt Records label.
Lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen has no less than four songwriting credits on this album, indicative of his growing importance as a composer. At the time of the album's release, he and bassist Jack Casady had already recorded two albums for their spin-off blues group Hot Tuna
The cover of the original vinyl LP release featured a fish with human false teeth wrapped in paper and tied with string, as though it were bought in a grocery store. The LP record itself comes in a brown paper bag with the "JA" logo. The "JA" logo is an homage to the A&P supermarket chain.
The first album on the band's own Grunt label, BARK marks the precise moment when the Airplane began to go a little wiggy. With founding member Marty Balin and longtime drummer (and by Airplane standards normal sort of guy) Spencer Dreyden gone, the band's grown-up contingent was noticeably under-represented, and the result was occasionally pointless, if amusing, stoned whimsy, as in Joey Covington's' "Thunk," or Grace Slick's over-the-top "Never Argue With a German If You're Tired," sung, of course, auf deutch; (years later, she let on it was about her relation with fellow band member Paul Kantner).
Fortunately, when the cannabis haze cleared, the band was very capable of excellent music. "When the Earth Moves Again," for example, is classic Airplane, a big anthemic song with soaring massed harmonies played against an instrumental track that sounds more chaotic than it really is, in part due to new member Papa John Creach's violin, employed as a sinister drone along the lines of John Cale's viola in the Velvet Underground. Also of note is the ironic "Pretty As You Feel," the album's hit single, and guitarist Jorma Kaukonnen's "Third Week in the Chelsea," a resignation letter every bit as eloquent as Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill."
