ABOUT THE RECORD Volunteers is a 1969 album by American psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane. The album was controversial because of revolutionary and anti-war lyrics as well as profanity in the lyrics. This was the sixth album recorded by the group and the first to be wholly recorded in San Francisco, at Wally Heider's then state-of-the-art 16-track studio. Guest musicians included Jerry Garcia on pedal steel guitar, veteran session pianist Nicky Hopkins, future Airplane drummer Joey Covington on percussion, David Crosby, and Stephen Stills. It was one of the earliest 16-track recordings. The back cover of the album shows a picture of the MM-1000 professional 16-track tape recorder built by Ampex which was used to record the album. The album was marked with strong anti-war and pro-anarchism songs. The theme of nature, communities and ecology was also explored with the songs The Farm and Eskimo Blue Day. The title track was inspired by a "Volunteers of America" garbage truck that woke singer Marty Balin one morning. The album`s original title was Volunteers of Amerika, spoofing Volunteers of America, a religious charity similar to the Salvation Army. The spelling, Amerika, usually references both German fascism and the Kafka novel. After VOA objected, the title was shortened to Volunteers.
