On this month in 1967, Jefferson Airplane released the album Surrealistic Pillow. It’s considered to be one of the greatest albums to come out of the late 60s counterculture, psychedelic rock era. It's also considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time. Author Richard Butterworth is back on the podcast to talk about the album and the band’s history.

Richard recently released the book “Jefferson Airplane: Every Album, Every Song” as part of Sonicbond’s On Track series. Richard talks about the band’s origins, how they drew on folk, blues, jazz and even literary visionaries to create their sound and lyrical themes. We also get into the band’s rise to prominence followed by their demise. As the book promo states: “Jefferson Airplane burned fierce and bright before their decline with the death of the psychedelic dream in Haight-Ashbury’s dreamily LSD-drenched hippie heartland. More than any other, the band and their recorded output were synonymous with the birth and death of the hippie era.”
