Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady are Back With Hot Tuna's First All-New Studio Album in 20 Years!
Collector's Edition Half-Speed Mastered by Stan Ricker and Pressed on Heavy 180g Vinyl!


This item not eligible for any further discount offers!

The first all-new Hot Tuna studio album since 1990 from Rock & Roll Hall of  Famers Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady is available as an audiophile 2-LP deluxe  package. With stylistic echoes of all phases of their career from Jefferson  Airplane to Hot Tuna's great electric and acoustic incarnations, it's being  lauded by fans of Tuna, Airplane, the Dead, Allman Bros and the jam bands who  followed.

Founding members Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady masterfully blend Americana rock  with blues and acoustic folk on a record that hits their full spectrum of styles  from electric and acoustic Hot Tuna to their days in Jefferson Airplane.  Reaching a zenith of their historic career, Steady As She Goes is an absolute  masterpiece.

During their more than four decade long career Jorma and Jack have created some  of the most significant music of our time and Steady As She Goes proves that  they remain one of the most innovative bands in American music. Recorded at  Levon Helm's studio and produced by Grammy-winning producer Larry Campbell, the  album captures the energy of their live performances with Barry Mitterhoff on  mandolin, drummer Skoota Warner (Cyndi Lauper, Matisyahu, Santana) as well as  Campbell joining them on guitar, fiddle, organ and vocals.

With their amps turned up to eleven, Hot Tuna rips into the blistering opener  "Angel of Darkness" and puts the wind in your sails with the 'hop on your Harley  and take to the road' free-spirit jams like "Easy Now Revisited" and "A Little  Faster." Steady As She Goes tastefully mixes in the acoustic side of Tuna with  folk tunes like the moving "What Might Have Been" and the reflective "Second  Chances." Along with masterful covers of the blues-rock infused "If This is  Love" and a funky rendition of Reverend Gary Davis' "Children of Zion" Steady As  She Goes is an iconic record that Hot Tuna fans have been waiting for!

The album is mastered at half-speed and pressed on heavy 180g vinyl and housed  in a double gatefold sleeve. The packaging features design and photos from the  recording session at Levon Helm's Woodstock studio not used in the CD issue  artwork. Three sides of the LP contain the 12 songs, while the fourth LP side is  a truly unique 'etching' art-work of Jorma and Jack's faces. This deluxe package  includes a CD of the album, housed in a paper sleeve, plus a temporary tattoo of  the Hot Tuna logo with mermaid image from the album artwork. Historic Hot Tuna!
