Marty Balin: Better Generation, June 25, 2002
This review is from: Better Generation (Audio CD)
To anyone who has ever gone to see but especially hear Marty Balin perform with Jefferson Starship and thought to themselves "That man can sing anything" wait no longer to take a listen to this CD, even if you have to look high and low to find it. How rare to encounter an instrument as dynamic as Marty's, with a range beyond imagination, you will find rock, ballads, and even country tunes on Better Generation. This CD is also noteable in that Kerry Kearney plays lead and bass guitar, and if you are unfamiliar with Kerry it is high time you got to know him, check out his website and hear what he's been up to since Better Generation. Let It Live!

Awful! Sorry!, March 2, 2008
This review is from: Better Generation (Audio CD)
I loved Marty Balin's emergence as a soloist (like Miracles, With Your Love, Runaway, etc.) and his first solo LP (Hearts, Atlanta Lady)...
...but this one doesn't sound anything like that. I bought it and was disappointed not to find ONE song I even halfway liked.
Overproduced, too rock-oriented... perhaps likable to his earlier hippy days.
I gave it a shot, but donated this one to my local thrift store.

better generation, March 16, 2011
This review is from: Better Generation (Audio CD)
always thought this guy was one of the best rock
vocalists. this generous cd gives many reasons marty
was the true soul of jefferson airplane/starship.
the version of volunteers on the cd is closer to the way it
used to sound at the fillmore east in 1969. electric..
