Produced by my favorite knob-twiddler of all time – Ron Nevison – the glossy, edgy sound on “Modern Times” in many ways set a template for ’80s-era success soon followed by Nevison-produced bands like Heart, Ozzy Osbourne and Chicago.
Grace Slick re-joined Jefferson Starship for this album, and she arrived too late for the album-cover band photo, but managed a duet with new frontman Mickey Thomas on the Pete Sears-composed “Stranger”, while adding background vocals throughout the recording.
