Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Feed Your Head: The Great Jefferson Airplane Deep Dive is an audio documentary that was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth. It includes long-form interviews, commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release. Part 19 of the series features Jack and I doing a deep, deep dive on the songs off the band’s final masterpiece of the 1960s, Volunteers. Here are just a few of the many things that Jack discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:The unexpected hit that inspired Jorma to write “Turn My Life Down”;How Stephen Stills became involved in half of the second side of the record;The various tendrils behind the genesis of “Wooden Ships”;A ludicrously deep dive into the one-minute throwaway track “Meadowlands”, which establishes a connection between Jefferson Airplane & Prince;The decidedly unpolitical origin story behind the title track;An in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on side two of Volunteers;And an unreleased outtake from those sessions, “Wooden Ships / J.P.P. McStep B. Blues”.
