Better Generation is Marty Balin's 1991 album and his first solo album since 1983. The album was produced shortly after Jefferson Airplane's reunion album and tour, without any other members of Jefferson Airplane involved. Balin's wife, Karen Deal, co-wrote a song on the album, and played keyboards on most tracks.
