As of 2008 Jefferson Starship continues to tour with a lineup of Paul Kantner (vocals, guitar), David Freiberg (vocals, bass, keyboards), Cathy Richardson (vocals), Slick Aguilar (lead guitar), Chris Smith (keyboards) and Donny Baldwin (drums). The band sometimes features guest musicians such as Balin, Gould, Gorman and former Grateful Dead keyboardist Tom Constanten.

Cathy Richardson has been kicking around the Chicago music scene for years. She's quite good, but has never gotten the break she deserved. I've seen her twice in the last couple of years, once opening for John Waite, and another time opening for Paul Rodgers.
She was offered the lead vocal spot by Kantner himself, and told a friend of mine when he wanted to know if she was interested, she jumped at the chance. I hope this works out for her...

Jefferson Starship arrives back on the music scene with the release of their new album, Jefferson’s Tree of Liberty. The band will have past members like Kantner, Slick, Balin, and others. The other thing is that the album is filled with covers from Lennon, Marley, Ochs, Seeger, Dylan, Leadbelly, and others, 19 tracks altogether. The album will be released on Fuel Records with 24-bit mastering and a Deluxe Packaging with extensive liner notes. This album is planned for September 2. Jefferson Starship will be touring this year and next.

He's with the New Cars if they're even still driving. I guess the Jefferson Bogus Starship Thrice Removed wasn't good enough for him! Why is such a good drummer playing with such horrid ripoff acts? Maybe he still plays with whatever passes for The Tubes these days?

Last time I checked, he plays with the Tubes when his other better paying gigs aren't conflicting. The Tubes seem to only be gigging a couple times a month.

I'm wondering if this is a typo on Amazon's part and if this might be the song Fenario/Peggy-O.
Answered my own question. It's written as Frenario everywhere I looked but I streamed a clip at vh1 and it is the song that I've always called Peggy-O.

Some answers from an obsessed fan for you, who has an advance copy of the album:

Prairie Prince plays drums on the album but Donny Baldwin is drumming live with the band.
Quote:
"Slick", huh? Slick Aguilar, I presume. Pretty sneaky!
I think that they meant Slick Aguilar too, but as it is he only appears on two tracks on the album ("Genesis Hall" and "Maybe for You"). Grace Slick does appear on at least one track (it is possibly her singing background on some others) - she appears on track 19, which is not listed anywhere on the liner notes but will show up on your CD. However, most of that track is sung by David Freiberg with Grace singing the refrain.
Quote:
Diana Mangano left? Bummer. I thought she was a great singer, also sooo beautiful! Very nice person too.....
Cathy Richardson is now the main vocalist, but Diana is staying on as a sometimes guest vocalist a la Darby Gould. She sings on two tracks on the new album ("Royal Canal" and "Commandante Carlos Fonseca"). Speaking of which, Gould also appears on several tracks.

Paul sings it with an 'R', "Frenario." He says in the liner notes that he learned it in the 60s so I guess that's just how he knows it. It's credited to "Traditional" so it probably has had various titles through the years.
