DESCRIPTION: Originally launched as a rootsy side project by Jefferson Airplane members Jorma Krakonen and Jack Cassidy, Hot tuna quicly came into its own, thanks to the pair's savvy explorations of traditional blues and folk styles.The Band's self-titled 1970 debut is a stripped down live acoustic set featuring such signature numbers as "Hesitation Blues," Uncle Sam Blues," and "I Know You Rider" This is the vinyl edition of this landmark debut. It has been sourced from the original RCA masters and pressed on high definition vinyl, with complete original artwork.
"When Hot Tuna's self-titled debut album was released in May 1970, it seemed like the perfect spin-off project for a major rock group, Jefferson Airplane's lead guitarist and bass player indulging in a genre exercise by playing a set of old folk-blues tunes in a Berkeley coffeehouse. The music seemed as far removed from the Airplane's acid rock roar as it did from commercial prospects, and thus, it allowed these sometimes overlooked bandmembers to blow off some steam musically without threatening their day jobs. In retrospect, however, it's easy to hear that something more was going on. Friends since their teens, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady had developed a musical rapport that anchored the Airplane sound but also existed independently of it, and shorn of the rock band arrangements and much of the electricity (Casady still played an electric bass), their interplay was all the more apparent. Kaukonen remained the accomplished fingerpicking stylist he had been before joining the Airplane, while Casady dispensed with the usual timekeeping duties of the bass in favor of extensive contrapuntal soloing, creating a musical conversation that was unique." - William Ruhlmann & allmusic.com
