1979's "Freedom At Point Zero" is a new beginning for Paul Kanter's Jefferson Starship. Following the departure of lead singers Grace Slick and Marty Balin, former Elvin Bishop Group lead singer Mickey Thomas fronts Starship into a new AOR era. This LP also marks the entrance of former Zappa and Journey drummer Ansley Dunbar. The lead off track (and single released) "Jane" is a remarkable rock song; fantastic vocal performance by newcomer Thomas. The rest of the tracks beyond "Jane" never comes close in performance or songwriting as their hit single. This is mostly attributed to the loss of the writers in Slick and Balin; leading the band to seek outside writers. All and all, not a bad start to a bigger audience for Starship. The only problem is, they may have lost a few fans along the way with this LP.
