A Child Is Coming was Kantner and Grace Slick noting the latter was pregnant with their first child. It has a joyously restful spirit, with Kantner and co-writer David Crosby exchanging guitar motifs, and the part vocal harmonies between the pair and Slick are beautifully created. As producer, Kantner does a monumental job in balancing the rhythmic shifts and emotional truths. From the 1983 Paul Kantner solo album Planet Earth Rock And Roll Orchestra. Kantner’s last solo album, and this track was co-written some years earlier by the man himself with Jerry Garcia; a version even appeared on David Crosby’s cult PERRO Sessions, recorded in 1971. It’s the inimitable vocal combination between Kantner and Slick that makes The Mountain Song so special – they really did have a remarkable musical bond.
