As far as classic psychedelic rock albums go, few have been as widely regarded as Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane. It was the second studio album released by the band in 1967, the year of the Summer of Love. It was their most successful album and the first to feature vocalist Grace Slick and drummer Spencer Dryden. The album peaked at number three on the Billboard charts and has since been certified Platinum.
I wanted to take a fresh listen and look back at Surrealistic Pillow for this edition of Classic Albums Revisited. I’ve heard it plenty of times before, but I wanted to examine the tracks and history of the album a bit deeper.
