Paul Kantner, Grace Slick – Sunfighter

Paul Kantner & Grace Slick – Sunfighter

Released in 1971, Sunfighter is a beautifully eccentric and deeply personal collaboration between Paul Kantner and Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, capturing the transition from psychedelic rock into the more reflective, exploratory sounds of the early 1970s San Francisco scene.

Written during a period of major creative and personal change, the album blends folk-rock, cosmic psychedelia, and poetic storytelling, with Grace Slick’s distinctive voice and Kantner’s visionary songwriting at its core. Tracks like “Sunfighter,” “China,” and “Holding Together” reflect a shift toward more intimate and socially conscious themes, while still retaining the experimental spirit that defined their work with Jefferson Airplane.

Featuring contributions from fellow members of the extended Bay Area musical community, Sunfighter feels both grounded and exploratory - a snapshot of artists pushing beyond the boundaries of 1960s psychedelia into something more introspective and freeform.
