Hot Tuna

[COLD PHISH] The decidedly earthbound members of Jefferson Airplane’s founding crew, guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casaday split from the epochal Summer of Love band just before the first strains of embarrassment began to seep through the mix and parleyed their unassailable youth-culture cred into an endlessly sustainable living museum of the blues. Four decades on, you can’t fault Hot Tuna’s commitment—not every septuagenarian schedules a February acoustic tour barnstorming Bozeman, Bend and Grants Pass in advance of Caribbean resort gigs—but, as with the idiosyncratic-fingering-laden jams of 2011’s Steady as She Goes (Hot Tuna’s first studio album in 20 years), a large net may be required just to find somebody to love this sort of music.
