Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Wooden Ships (page 1/1) ------ performed by Jefferson Airplane Simply Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/29/2008 As with most people, I was originally familiar only with the CSN version of this song. I happened to hear this version on Pandora and absolutely love it! Powerful lyrics combined with Airplane's signature style.. it's become one of my favorites. This song by the way is not a cover.. originally written by Paul Kantor and David Crosby. wooden ships review | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/23/2007 This song has been upsetting me for 3 decades, it is truly a bitter/sweet piece. so much more feeling than the CSNY version Wooden Ships Jefferson Style | Reviewer: Zeddo | 12/14/2006 I grew up listening to Crosby and Co doing Wooden Ships and had this idea that was the only way to do the song. I found a copy of the song by Jefferson and listened to it, I was truly surprised to find a refreshing departure from the norm. The spacey almost discordant mix of voices and instruments adds a touch of the surreal that this song deserves. Koukonens whining lead and Cassidy's solid base add to this effect. Grace does her usual whailing as only she can with Kantner blendinng his voice to the whole mix in a great orgasm of sound. Having said all of that I have heard Jefferson do a lot better but then I have also heard worse. Add Your New Review About The Song
