James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942[2] – September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. He is often considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in the history of rock music by other musicians and commentators in the industry,[3] [4] [5] and one of the most important and influential musicians of his era across a range of genres.[6] [7] [8] After initial success in Europe, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, Hendrix headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival and the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. Hendrix often favored raw overdriven amplifiers with high gain and treble and helped develop the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback.[9] Hendrix was one of the musicians who popularized the wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock which he often used to deliver an exaggerated pitch in his solos, particularly with high bends and use of legato. He was influenced by blues artists such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Albert King and Elmore James,[10] [11] [12] [13] rhythm and

Jimi Hendrix blues and soul guitarists Curtis Mayfield, Steve Cropper, as well as by funk and some modern jazz.[14] In 1966, Hendrix, who played and recorded with Little Richard's band from 1964 to 1965, said, "I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice."[15] As a record producer, Hendrix also broke new ground in using the recording studio as an extension of his musical ideas. He was one of the first to experiment with stereophonic and phasing effects for rock recording. Hendrix won many of the most prestigious rock music awards in his lifetime, and has been posthumously awarded many more, including being inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. An English Heritage blue plaque was erected in his name on his former residence at Brook Street, London, in September 1997. A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (at 6627 Hollywood Blvd.) was dedicated in 1994. In 2006, his debut US album, Are You Experienced, was inducted into the United States National Recording Registry, and Rolling Stone named Hendrix the top guitarist on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all-time in 2003.[16] He was also the first person inducted into the Native American Music Hall of Fame.

Biography Early life Hendrix was born on November 27, 1942, in Seattle, Washington, while his father, James Allen "Al" Hendrix (1919–2002), was stationed at an Army base in Oklahoma. He was named Johnny Allen Hendrix by his mother, Lucille Hendrix, née Jeter (1925–1958).[17] When he was two years old, his mother put him in the temporary care of friends in California. His father, upon being discharged from the Army in November 1945, took custody of his son and legally changed his name to James Marshall Hendrix in memory of his late brother, Leon Marshall Hendrix.[18] [19] He was known as "Buster" to friends and family, from birth.[20] Shortly after, Al reunited with Lucille. He found it hard to gain steady employment after the Second World War, and the family experienced financial hardship. Hendrix had two brothers, Leon and Joseph, and two sisters, Kathy and Pamela. Joseph was born with physical difficulties and at the age of three was given up to state care. His two sisters were both given up at a relatively early age, for care and later adoption, Kathy was born blind and Pamela had some lesser physical difficulties. Hendrix's parents divorced when he was nine years old; his mother, a heavy drinker who had developed cirrhosis of the liver, died in 1958 when the state of her liver caused her spleen to rupture.[21] On occasion, he was sent to live with his grandmother in Vancouver, British Columbia because of the unstable household, and his brother Leon was put into temporary welfare care for a period.[22] Hendrix grew up as a shy and sensitive boy, deeply affected by the poverty and family disruption he experienced. Unusually for his era, Hendrix's high school had a relatively equitable ethnic mix of African Americans, European Americans, and Asian Americans.[23] At age 15, around the time his mother died, he acquired his first acoustic guitar for $5 from an acquaintance of his father. This guitar replaced both the broomstick he had been strumming in imitation, and a ukulele which his father had found while cleaning out a garage.[24] [25] [26] Hendrix learned to play by practicing almost constantly, watching others play, getting tips from more experienced players, and listening to records. In mid-1959, his father bought Hendrix a white Supro Ozark, his first electric guitar, but there was no available amplifier. According to fellow Seattle bandmates, he learned most of his acrobatic stage moves, a major part of the blues/R&B tradition, including playing with his teeth and behind his back, from a fellow young musician, Raleigh "Butch" Snipes, guitarist with local band The Sharps. Hendrix himself performed Chuck Berry's trademark "duck walk" on occasion.[27] Hendrix played in a couple of local bands, occasionally playing outlying gigs in Washington State and at least once over the border in Vancouver, British Columbia.[28] Hendrix was particularly fond of Elvis Presley, whom he saw perform in Seattle, in 1957.[29] Leon Hendrix claimed, in an early interview, that Little Richard appeared in his Central District neighborhood and shook hands with his brother, Jimi. This is unattested elsewhere and vehemently denied by his father.[30] Hendrix's early exposure to blues music came from listening to records by Muddy Waters and B.B. King which his father owned.[31] Another early

2

Jimi Hendrix impression came from the 1954 western Johnny Guitar, in which the hero carries no gun but instead wears a guitar slung behind his back. Hendrix's first gig was with an unnamed band in the basement of a synagogue, Seattle's Temple De Hirsch. After too much wild playing and showing off, he was fired between sets. The first formal band he played in was The Velvetones, who performed regularly at the Yesler Terrace Neighborhood House without pay. He later joined the Rocking Kings, who played professionally at such venues as the Birdland. When his guitar was stolen (after he left it backstage overnight), Al bought him a white Silvertone Danelectro. He painted it red and had "Betty Jean" emblazoned on it—the name of his high school girlfriend. Hendrix completed junior high at Washington Junior High School with little trouble but did not graduate from Garfield High School. Later he was awarded an honorary diploma, and in the 1990s a bust of Hendrix was placed in the school library. After he became famous in the late 1960s, Hendrix told reporters that he had been expelled from Garfield by racist faculty for holding hands with a white girlfriend in study hall. Principal Frank Hanawalt says that it was simply due to poor grades and attendance problems.[32]

In the Army Hendrix got into trouble with the law twice for riding in stolen cars. He was given a choice between spending two years in prison or joining the Army. Hendrix chose the latter and enlisted on May 31, 1961. After completing boot camp, he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division and stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. His commanding officers and fellow soldiers considered him to be a subpar soldier: he slept while on duty, had little regard for regulations, required constant supervision, and showed no skill as a marksman. For these reasons, his commanding officers submitted a request that Hendrix be discharged from the military after he had served only one year. Hendrix did not object when the opportunity to leave arose.[33] He would later tell reporters that he received a medical discharge after breaking his ankle during his 26th parachute jump. The rock music journalist Charles Cross contended in his biography of Hendrix, Room Full of Mirrors (2005) that Hendrix faked being homosexual—claiming to have fallen in love with a fellow soldier—in order to be discharged, but did not produce credible evidence to support this contention. At the base recreation center, Hendrix met fellow soldier and bass player Billy Cox, and the two forged a loyal friendship that Hendrix would call upon from April 1969 until Billy's breakdown shortly before Hendrix's death. The two would often perform with other musicians at venues both on and off the base as a loosely organized band there named the Casuals. As a celebrity in the UK, Hendrix mentioned his military service in three published interviews; one in 1967 for the film See My Music Talking (much later released under the title Experience), which was intended for TV to promote his recently released Axis: Bold as Love LP, in which he spoke very briefly of his first parachuting experience: "...once you get out there everything is so quiet, all you hear is the breezes-s-s-s..." This comment has later been used to claim that he was saying that this was one of the sources of his "spacy" guitar sound. The second and third mentions of his military experience were in interviews for Melody Maker in 1967 and 1969, where he spoke of his dislike of the army.[34] In interviews in the US, Hendrix almost never mentioned it, and when Dick Cavett brought it up in his TV interview, Hendrix's only response was to verify that he had been based at Fort Campbell.[35]

Early career After his Army discharge, Hendrix and Army friend Billy Cox moved to nearby Clarksville, Tennessee and undertook in earnest to earn a living with their existing band. Hendrix had already seen Butch Snipes play with his teeth in Seattle and now Alphonso 'Baby Boo' Young the other guitarist in the band, was featuring this gimmick.[36] Not to be upstaged, it was then that Hendrix learned to play with his teeth properly, according to Hendrix himself: "... the idea of doing that came to me in a town in Tennessee. Down there you have to play with your teeth or else you get shot. There’s a trail of broken teeth all over the stage..."[37] They played mainly in low-paying gigs at

Jimi Hendrix obscure venues. The band eventually moved to Nashville's Jefferson Street, the traditional heart of Nashville's black community and home to a lively rhythm and blues scene.[38] After they moved to Nashville, upon learning there was already an established band by the name "The Casuals", they amended their name to the "King Kasuals".[39] While in Nashville, according to Cox and Larry Lee—who replaced Alphonso Young on guitar—they were basically the house band at "Club del Morocco".[40] Hendrix and Cox shared a flat above "Joyce's House Of Glamour".[41] Hendrix's girlfriend at this time was Joyce Lucas. Bill 'Hoss' Allen's memory of Hendrix's supposed participation in a session with Billy Cox in November 1962, in which he cut Hendrix's contribution due to his over-the-top playing, has now been called into question; a suggestion has been made that he may have confused this with a later 1965 session by Frank Howard And The Commanders in which Hendrix participated.[42] In December 1962, Hendrix visited his relatives in Vancouver, Canada, where as a child he had sometimes lived with his grandmother. It has been claimed that while there, he performed with future members of the Motown band Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers, including Tommy Chong (of later Cheech & Chong fame).[43] Chong, however, disputes this ever happened and that any such appearance is a product of Taylor's "imagination".[44] In early 1963, Hendrix returned to the South. For the next two years, Hendrix made a living performing on a circuit of venues throughout the South catering to black audiences. These were venues affiliated with the Theater Owners' Booking Association (TOBA), sarcastically known as "Tough On Black Asses" because the audiences were very demanding. The TOBA circuit was also widely known as the Chitlin' Circuit. In addition to performing in his own band, he performed with Bob Fisher and the Bonnevilles,[45] and in backing bands for various soul, R&B, and blues musicians, including Chuck Jackson, Slim Harpo, Tommy Tucker, Sam Cooke, and Jackie Wilson. The Chitlin' Circuit was where Hendrix refined his style. Feeling he had artistically outgrown the circuit and frustrated at following the rules of bandleaders, Hendrix decided to try his luck in New York City and in January 1964 moved into the Hotel Theresa in Harlem,[46] where he soon befriended Lithofayne Pridgeon (known as "Faye",[47] who became his girlfriend) and the Allen twins, Arthur and Albert (now known as Taharqa and Tunde-Ra Aleem). The Allen twins became friends and kept Hendrix out of trouble in New York. The twins also performed as backup singers (under the name Ghetto Fighters) on some of his recordings, most notably the song "Freedom". Pridgeon, a Harlem native with connections throughout the area's music scene, provided Hendrix with shelter, support, and encouragement. In February 1964, Hendrix won first prize in the Apollo Theater amateur contest. Hoping to land a gig, Hendrix made the club circuit and sat in with various bands. Eventually, Hendrix was offered the guitarist position with The Isley Brothers' back-up band and he readily accepted. Hendrix' first studio recording occurred in March 1964, when the Isley Brothers, with Hendrix as a member of the band, recorded the two-part single "Testify". Hendrix then went on tour with the Isley Brothers. "Testify" was released in June 1964, but did not make an impact on the charts. After touring as a member of the Isley Brothers until mid-late 1964,[48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] Hendrix grew dissatisfied and left the band in Nashville. There, he found work with the tour's MC "Gorgeous" George Odell. On March 1, 1964, Hendrix (then calling himself Maurice James) began recording and performing with Little Richard. Hendrix would later (1966) say, "I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice."[54] During a stop in Los Angeles while touring with Little Richard in 1965, Hendrix played a session for Rosa Lee Brooks on her single "My Diary". This was his first recorded involvement with Arthur Lee of the band "Love".[55] [56] While in L.A., he also played on the session for Little Richard's final single for Vee-Jay, "I Don't Know What You've Got, But It's Got Me".[57] He later made his first recorded TV appearance on Nashville's Channel 5 "Night Train" with "The Royal Company" backing up "Buddy and Stacy" on "Shotgun".[58] Hendrix clashed with Richard, over tardiness, wardrobe, and, above all, Hendrix's stage antics.[57] On tour with Richard they shared billing a couple of times with Ike and Tina Turner. It has been suggested that he left Richard and played with Ike & Tina briefly before returning to Richard, but there is no firm evidence to support this, and this is emphatically denied by Tina. Months later, he was either fired or he left after missing the tour bus in Washington, D.C.[59] He then rejoined the Isley Brothers in the summer of 1965 and recorded a second single with them, "Move Over and Let Me Dance" backed with "Have You Ever Been Disappointed" (1965 Atlantic 45-2303).

Jimi Hendrix Later in 1965, Hendrix joined a New York–based R&B band, Curtis Knight and the Squires, after meeting Knight in the lobby of the Hotel America, off Times Square, where both men were living at the time.[60] He performed on and off with them for eight months.[61] In October 1965, Hendrix recorded a single with Curtis Knight, "How Would You Feel" backed with "Welcome Home" (1966 RSVP 1120) and on October 15 he signed a three-year recording contract with entrepreneur Ed Chalpin, receiving 1% royalty. While the relationship with Chalpin was short-lived, his contract remained in force, which caused considerable problems for Hendrix later on in his career. The legal dispute has continued to the present day.[62] (Several songs (and demos) from the 1965–1966 Curtis Knight recording sessions, deemed not worth releasing at the time, were marketed as "Jimi Hendrix" recordings after he became famous.)[63] Aside from Curtis Knight and the Squires, Hendrix then toured for two months with Joey Dee and the Starliters. In between performing with Curtis Knight in 1966, Hendrix toured and recorded with King Curtis. Hendrix recorded the two-part single "Help Me (Get the Feeling)" with Ray Sharpe and the King Curtis Orchestra (1966 Atco 45-6402) (the backing track was subsequently overdubbed by other vocalists with different lyrics and released as new songs).[64] Later in 1966, Hendrix also recorded with Lonnie Youngblood, a saxophone player who occasionally performed with Curtis Knight. The sessions produced two singles for Youngblood: "Go Go Shoes"/"Go Go Place" (Fairmount F-1002) and "Soul Food (That's What I Like)"/"Goodbye Bessie Mae" (Fairmount F-1022). Additionally, singles for other artists came out of the sessions: The Icemen's "(My Girl) She's a Fox"/ "(I Wonder) What It Takes" (1966 SAMAR S-111) and Jimmy Norman's "You're Only Hurting Yourself"/"That Little Old Groove Maker" (1966 SAMAR S-112). As with the King Curtis recordings, backing tracks and alternate takes for the Youngblood sessions would be overdubbed and otherwise manipulated to create many "new" tracks.[65] (Many Youngblood tracks without any Hendrix involvement would later be marketed as "Jimi Hendrix" recordings).[66] Also around this time in 1966, Hendrix got his first composer credits for two instrumentals "Hornets Nest" and "Knock Yourself Out", released as a Curtis Knight and the Squires single (1966 RSVP 1124).[67] Hendrix, now going by the name Jimmy James, formed his own band, The Blue Flame, composed of Randy Palmer (bass), Danny Casey (drums), a 15-year-old guitarist who played slide and rhythm named Randy Wolfe, and the occasional stand in June 1966.[68] Since there were two musicians named "Randy" in the group, Hendrix dubbed Wolfe "Randy California" (as he had recently moved from there to New York City) and Palmer (a Tejano) "Randy Texas". Randy California would later co-found the band Spirit with his stepfather, drummer Ed Cassidy. It was around this time that Hendrix's only daughter Tamika was conceived with Diana Carpenter (also known as Regina Jackson), a teenage runaway and prostitute that he briefly stayed with. Her claim has not been recognized by the US courts where, after death, she may not have a claim on his estate even if she could legally prove he was her father, unless recognized previously as such by him or the courts.[69] Hendrix and his new band played at several places in New York, but their primary venue was a residency at the Cafe Wha? on MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village. The street runs along "Washington (Square) Park" which appeared in at least two of Hendrix's songs. Their last concerts were at the Cafe au Go Go, as John Hammond Jr.'s backing group, billed as "The Blue Flame". Singer-guitarist Ellen McIlwaine and guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter also claim to have briefly worked with Hendrix in this period.[70]

The Jimi Hendrix Experience Early in 1966 at the Cheetah Club on Broadway at 53rd Street, Linda Keith, then girlfriend of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, befriended Hendrix and recommended him to Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham and later, producer Seymour Stein. Neither man took a liking to Hendrix's music, and they both passed. She then referred Hendrix to Chas Chandler, who was ending his tenure as bassist in The Animals and looking for talent to manage and produce. Chandler liked the song "Hey Joe" and was convinced he could create a hit single with the right artist.

Jimi Hendrix

Impressed with Hendrix's version, Chandler brought him to London and signed him to a management and production contract with himself and ex-Animals manager Michael Jeffery. Chandler then helped Hendrix form a new band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, with guitarist-turned-bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell, both English musicians. Shortly before the Experience was formed, Chandler introduced Hendrix to Pete Townshend and to Eric Clapton, who had only recently helped put together Cream. At Chandler's request, Cream let Hendrix join them on stage for a jam on the song "Killing Floor". Hendrix and Clapton remained friends up until Hendrix's death. The first night he arrived in London, he began a The Jimi Hendrix Experience relationship with Kathy Etchingham that lasted until February 1969. She later wrote a well received autobiographical book about their relationship and the sixties London scene in general.[71] Hendrix sometimes had a camp sense of humor, specifically with the song "Purple Haze". A mondegreen had appeared, in which the line "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky" was misheard as "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy." In a few performances, Hendrix humorously used this, deliberately singing "kiss this guy" while pointing to Mitch or Noel, as he did at Monterey.[72] In the Woodstock DVD he deliberately points to the sky at this point,[73] to make it clear. A volume of misheard lyrics has been published, using this mondegreen itself as the title, with Hendrix on the cover. UK success After his enthusiastically received performance at France's No. 1 venue, the Olympia theatre in Paris on the Johnny Hallyday tour, an on-stage jam with Cream, a showcase gig at the newly opened, pop-celebrity oriented nightclub Bag O'Nails and the all important appearances on the top UK TV pop shows "Ready Steady Go!" and the BBC's "Top of the Pops", word of Hendrix spread throughout the London music community in late 1966. His showmanship and virtuosity made instant fans of reigning guitar heroes Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, as well as Brian Jones and members of The Beatles and The Who, whose managers signed Hendrix to their new record label, Track Records. Hendrix's first single was a cover of "Hey Joe", using Tim Rose's slower arrangement of the song including his addition of a female backing chorus. Backing this first 1966 "Experience" single was Hendrix's first songwriting effort, "Stone Free". Further success came in early 1967 with "Purple Haze" which featured the "Hendrix chord" and "The Wind Cries Mary". The three singles were all UK Top 10 hits and were also popular internationally including Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan (though failed to sell when released later in the US). Onstage, Hendrix was also making an impression with sped up renderings of the B.B. King hit "Rock Me Baby" and Howlin' Wolf's hit "Killing Floor". Are You Experienced The first Jimi Hendrix Experience album, Are You Experienced, was released in the United Kingdom on May 12, 1967 and shortly thereafter internationally, outside of USA and Canada. It contained none of the previously released (outside North America) singles or their B sides ("Hey Joe/Stone Free", "Purple Haze/51st Anniversary" and "The Wind Cries Mary/Highway Chile"). Only The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band prevented Are You Experienced from reaching No. 1 on the UK charts. At this time, the Experience extensively toured the United Kingdom and parts of Europe. This allowed Hendrix to develop his stage presence, which reached a high point on March 31, 1967, when, booked to appear as one of the opening acts on the Walker Brothers farewell tour, he set his guitar on fire at the end of his first performance, as a publicity stunt. This guitar has now been identified as the "Zappa guitar" (previously thought to have been from

Jimi Hendrix Miami), which has been partly refurbished. Later, as part of this press promotion campaign, there were articles about Rank Theatre management warning him to "tone down" his "suggestive" stage act, with Chandler stating that the group would not compromise regardless.[74] On June 4, 1967, the Experience played their last show in England, at London's Saville Theatre, before heading off to America. The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album had just been released on June 1 and two Beatles (Paul McCartney and George Harrison) were in attendance, along with a roll call of other UK rock stardom, including: Brian Epstein, Eric Clapton, Spencer Davis, Jack Bruce, and pop singer Lulu. Hendrix opened the show with his own rendering of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", rehearsed only minutes before taking the stage, much to McCartney's astonishment and delight.[75] While on tour in Sweden in 1967, Hendrix jammed with the duo Hansson & Karlsson, and later opened several concerts with their song "Tax Free", also recording a cover of it during the Electric Ladyland sessions.[76] He played there frequently throughout his career, and his only son James Daniel Sundquist was born there in 1969 to a Swede, Hendrix on stage in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1967. Eva Sundquist, recognized as such by the Swedish courts and paid a settlement by Experience Hendrix LLC.[77] He wrote a poem to a woman there (probably Sundquist). Sundquist had sent Hendrix roses on each of his opening nights in Stockholm, and began – according to the Swedish courts – a sexual relationship from then until conceiving Daniel with him, after his third visit in January 1969. Hendrix also dedicated songs to the Swedish-based Vietnam deserters organization in 1969.[78] Months later, Reprise Records released the US and Canadian version of Are You Experienced with a new cover by Karl Ferris, removing "Red House", "Remember" and "Can You See Me" to make room for the first three single A-sides. Where the (Rest of the World) album kicked off with "Foxy Lady", the US and Canadian one started with "Purple Haze". Both versions offered a startling introduction to the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and the album was a blueprint for what had become possible on an electric guitar, basically recorded on four tracks, mixed into mono and only modified at this point by a "fuzz" pedal, reverb and a small bit of the experimental "Octavia" pedal on "Purple Haze", produced by Roger Mayer in consultation with Hendrix. A remix using the mostly mono backing tracks with the guitar and vocal overdubs separated and occasionally panned to create a stereo mix was also released, only in the US and Canada. US success Although very popular internationally at this time, the Experience had yet to crack America, their first single there failed to sell.[79] Their chance came when Paul McCartney recommended the group to the organizers of the Monterey International Pop Festival. This proved to be a great opportunity for Hendrix, not only because of the large audience present at the event, but also because of the many journalists covering the event who wrote about him. The performances were filmed by D. A. Pennebaker and later shown in some movie theaters around the country in early 1969 as the concert documentary Monterey Pop, which immortalized Hendrix's iconic burning and smashing of his guitar at the finale of his performance. The opening song was Hendrix's very fast arrangement of Howlin' Wolf's 1965 R&B hit "Killing Floor". He played this frequently from late 1965 through 1968, usually as the opener to his shows. The Monterey performance included an equally lively rendering of B.B. King's 1964 R&B hit "Rock Me Baby", Tim Rose's arrangement of "Hey Joe" and Bob Dylan's 1965 Pop hit "Like a Rolling Stone". The set ended with The Troggs "Wild Thing" and Hendrix repeating the act that had boosted his profile in the UK (and internationally) with him burning his guitar on stage, then smashing it to bits and tossing pieces out to the audience. This show finally brought Hendrix to the notice of the US public. A large chunk of this guitar was on display at the Experience Music Project in Seattle, along with the other psychedelically painted Stratocaster that Hendrix smashed (but did not burn) at his farewell concert in England before he left for the US and Monterey.

Jimi Hendrix At the time Hendrix was playing sets in the Scene club in NYC in July 1967, he met Frank Zappa, whose Mothers of Invention were playing the adjacent Garrick Theater, and he was reportedly fascinated by Zappa's recently purchased wah-wah pedal.[80] Hendrix immediately bought one from Manny's and starting using it right away on the sessions for both sides of his new single, and slightly later, on several jams recorded at Ed Chalpin's studio.[81] Following the festival, the Experience played a series of concerts at Bill Graham's Fillmore replacing the original headliners Jefferson Airplane at the top of the bill. It was at this time that Hendrix became acquainted with future musical collaborator Stephen Stills, and reacquainted himself with Buddy Miles who introduced Hendrix to his future partner, Devon Wilson. She had a turbulent on/off relationship with him, right up to the night of his death, and was the only one of his partners to record with him. She died only six months after Hendrix under mysterious circumstances, apparently falling from an upper window in the Chelsea Hotel. Following this very successful West Coast introduction, which also included two open air concerts (one of them a free concert in the "panhandle" of Golden Gate Park) and a concert at the Whisky a Go Go, they were booked as one of the opening acts for pop group The Monkees on their first American tour. The Monkees asked for Hendrix because they were fans,[82] but their (mostly early teens) audience sometimes did not warm to their act, and he quit the tour after a few dates. Chas Chandler later admitted that being thrown off the Monkees tour was engineered to gain maximum media impact and publicity for Hendrix,[83] similar to that gained from the manufactured Rank Theatre's indecency dispute on the earlier UK Walker Brothers tour. At the time, a story circulated claiming that Hendrix was removed from the tour because of complaints made by the Daughters of the American Revolution that his stage conduct was "lewd and indecent". This report was concocted by a journalist accompanying the tour, the Australian Lillian Roxon. Meanwhile in Western Europe, where Hendrix was appreciated for his authentic blues as well as his hit singles and recognized for his avant-garde musical ideas, his wild-man image and musical gimmickry (such as playing the guitar with his teeth and behind his back) had faded; but they later plagued him in the US following Monterey. He became frustrated by the US media and audience when they concentrated on his stage tricks and best known songs. Axis: Bold as Love The Jimi Hendrix Experience's second 1967 album, Axis: Bold as Love was his first recording made for stereo release and used panning and other stereo effects. It continued the style established by Are You Experienced. The opening track, "EXP", featured a stereo effect in which a sound emanating from Hendrix's guitar appeared to revolve around the listener, fading out into the distance from the right channel, then returning in on the left. This album marked the first time Hendrix recorded the whole album with his guitar tuned down one half-step, to E♭, which he used exclusively thereafter and was his first to feature the wah-wah pedal. A mishap almost delayed the album's pre-Christmas release: Hendrix lost the master tape of side one of the LP, leaving it in the back seat of a London taxi. With the release deadline looming, Hendrix, Chas Chandler and engineer Eddie Kramer had to remix most of side one in an overnight session, but they couldn't match the lost mix of "If 6 was 9". They soon learned that bassist Noel Redding had a tape recording of this mix. The tape had to be smoothed out as it had gotten wrinkled.[84] Hendrix was disappointed that the album had to be finished so quickly and felt it could have been better, given more time. He was also somewhat disappointed in the album cover art work, which depicts Hendrix and his Experience bandmates as the various forms of Vishnu, incorporating a painting of them by Roger Law (from a photo-portrait by Karl Ferris). Hendrix remarked that it would have been more appropriate if the cover had highlighted his American Indian heritage.[85] The album was released in the UK near the end of their first headlining tour there, after which the pace slowed briefly during the Christmas holidays. In January 1968 the group went to Sweden for a short tour, and after the first show Hendrix, reportedly after drinking and according to Hendrix his drink being spiked, went berserk and smashed up his hotel room in a rage, injuring his hand and culminating in his arrest. Then on the 6th in Denmark his famous hat was stolen.[86] The rest of the tour was uneventful, though Hendrix had to spend some time in Sweden waiting

Jimi Hendrix for his trial and eventual large fine.[87] Electric Ladyland Hendrix's third recording, the double album Electric Ladyland (1968), was a departure from previous efforts. Following his third and penultimate French concert at the Paris Olympia, Hendrix flew to the US to start his first tour there, and after two months returned to his Electric Ladyland project at the newly opened Record Plant Studios with engineers Eddie Kramer and Gary Kellgren and initially Chas Chandler as producer. As the album's recording progressed, Chas Chandler became so frustrated with Hendrix's perfectionism and with various friends and guests milling about the studio that he decided to sever his professional relationship with Hendrix. Chandler's departure had a clear impact on the artistic direction that the recording took. Hendrix began experimenting with different combinations of musicians and instruments, and modern electronic effects. For example, Dave Mason, Chris Wood, and Steve Winwood from the band Traffic, drummer Buddy Miles and former Bob Dylan organist Al Kooper, among others, were involved in the recording sessions. He described how Hendrix went from a disciplined recording regimen to an erratic schedule, which often saw him beginning recording sessions in the middle of the night and with any number of guests. Chandler also expressed exasperation at the number of times Hendrix would insist on rerecording particular tracks; the song "Gypsy Eyes" was reportedly recorded 43 times. This was also frustrating for bassist Noel Redding, who would often leave the studio to calm himself, only to return and find that Hendrix had recorded the bass parts himself during Redding's absence. Electric Ladyland includes "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" as well as Hendrix's rendering of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower". Throughout the four years of his fame, Hendrix often appeared at impromptu jams with various musicians, such as B.B. King.[88] In March 1968, Jim Morrison of The Doors joined Hendrix onstage at New York's Scene Club. Albums of this Electric Ladyland-era bootleg recording were released under various titles, some falsely claiming the presence of Johnny Winter, who has denied, several times, being a participant at that jam session, and to ever having met Morrison.[89]

Breakup of Jimi Hendrix Experience After a year based in the US, Hendrix temporarily moved back to London and into his girlfriend Kathy Etchingham's rented Brook Street flat, next door to the Handel House Museum, in the West End of London. During this time The Jimi Hendrix Experience toured Scandinavia, Germany, and included a final French concert. They later performed two sold-out concerts at London's Royal Albert Hall on February 18 and February 24, 1969, which were the last European appearances of this line-up of the "Jimi Hendrix Experience". A Gold and Goldstein-produced film titled Experience was also recorded at these two shows, which, according to Experience Hendrix LLC, "Elements of these recordings are sure to be utilized when the official release of this material is finally made."[90] Noel Redding felt increasingly frustrated by the fact that he was not playing his original and favored instrument, the guitar. In 1968, he decided to form his own band, Fat Mattress, which would sometimes open for the Experience (Hendrix would jokingly refer to them as "Thin Pillow"). Redding and Hendrix would begin seeing less and less of each other, which also had an effect in the studio, with Hendrix playing many of the bass parts on Electric Ladyland. Fruitless recording sessions at Olympic in London; Olmstead and the Record Plant in New York that ended on April 9, which only produced a remake of Stone Free for a possible single release, were the last to feature Redding. Hendrix then flew Billy Cox to New York and started recording and rehearsing with him on April 21 as a replacement for Noel.[91] In a recorded interview by Nancy Carter on June 15 at his hotel in Los Angeles, Hendrix announced that he had been recording with Cox and that he would be replacing Noel as bass player in "The Jimi Hendrix Experience".[92]

The last Experience concert took place on June 29, 1969 at Barry Fey's Denver Pop Festival, a three-day event held at Denver's Mile High Stadium that was marked by police firing tear gas into the audience as they played "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". The band escaped from the venue in the back of a rental truck which was partly crushed by fans trying to escape the tear gas. The next day, Noel Redding announced that he had quit the Experience.[93]

Gypsy Sun and Rainbows After the departure of Noel Redding from the group, Hendrix rented the eight-bedroom 'Ashokan House' in the hamlet of Boiceville[94] near Woodstock in upstate New York, where he spent some time in mid-1969. Manager Michael Jeffery, who had a house in Woodstock, arranged the stay, with hopes that the respite would produce a new album. To replace Redding as bassist, Hendrix had been rehearsing and recording with Billy Cox, his old and trusted Army buddy, since at least April 21.[95]

Woodstock

Hendrix playing The Star-Spangled Banner, Woodstock, 1969

Mitchell was unavailable to help fulfill Hendrix's commitments at this time, which include his first appearance on US TV – on the Dick Cavett show – where he was backed by the studio orchestra, and an appearance on The Tonight Show where he appeared with his new bass player Billy Cox, and session drummer Ed Shaughnessy sitting in for Mitchell.[96] Mitchell returned in time for the Woodstock music festival on August 18, 1969, for which—in an effort to expand his sound beyond the power trio format—Hendrix then added rhythm guitarist Larry Lee (another old friend from his R&B days), and percussionists Juma Sultan and Jerry Velez.

They recorded some jam-based material such as "Jam Back at the House", "Shokan Sunrise" (posthumous title for untitled jam), "Villanova Junction", and early renderings of the funk-driven centerpieces of Hendrix's post-Experience sound: "Machine Gun", "Message to Love" and "Izabella". Bad weather and logistical problems caused long delays, so that Hendrix did not appear on stage until Monday morning. By this time, the audience (which had peaked at over 500,000 people) had been reduced to, at most, 180,000, many of whom merely waited to catch a glimpse of Hendrix before leaving. Festival MC Chip Monck introduced the band as "The Jimi Hendrix Experience", but Hendrix quickly corrected this to "Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, for short it's nothin’ but ‘A Band Of’ Gypsies" and launched into a two hour set, the longest of his career. As well as the two percussionists, the performance notably featured Larry Lee performing two songs and Lee sometimes soloing while Hendrix played rhythm in places. Most of this has been edited out of the officially released recordings, including Lee's two songs, reducing the sound to basically a three piece. The concert was relatively free of the technical difficulties that frequently plagued Hendrix's performances, although one of his guitar strings snapped while performing "Red House" (he kept playing regardless). The band, unused to playing large audiences and exhausted after being up all night, could not always keep up with Hendrix's pace, but in spite of this the guitarist managed to deliver a memorable performance, climaxing with his highly regarded rendering of "The Star-Spangled Banner",[97] a solo improvisation which is now regarded as a special symbol of the 1960s era.[98] This expanded band did not last long. After the Woodstock festival they appeared on only two more occasions. The first was a street benefit in Harlem where, in a scenario similar to the festival, most of the audience had left and only a fraction remained by the time Hendrix took the stage. Within seconds of Hendrix arriving at the site two youths had stolen his guitar from the back seat of his car, although it was later recovered. The band's only other appearance was at the Salvation club in Greenwich Village, New York. After some studio recordings, Hendrix disbanded the

Jimi Hendrix group. Some of this band's recordings can be heard on the MCA Records box set The Jimi Hendrix Experience and on South Saturn Delta. Their final work together was a session on September 6.[99] Hendrix's September 9 appearance on TV's The Dick Cavett Show, backed by Cox, Mitchell and Juma Sultan, was credited as the "Jimi Hendrix Experience".[100]

Band of Gypsys In 1967, a contractual dispute arose in relation to an agreement Hendrix had entered into with producer Ed Chalpin in 1965.[101] The resolution for the dispute included Hendrix having to record an LP of new material for Chalpin company, which wouldn't feature the Experience band, and wouldn't be associated with the Experience band name. In addition, Chalpin was granted 2% of profits from Hendrix's back catalog sold in US. For the agreed upon album, Hendrix chose to record Band of Gypsys, a live album.[102] Along with Billy Cox and drummer Buddy Miles (formerly with Wilson Pickett and The Electric Flag) with whom he had been jamming together since September, Hendrix wrote and rehearsed material which they then performed at a series of four concerts over two nights, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day at Fillmore East. The second night produced the material for the Band Of Gypsys LP, which was produced by Hendrix (under the name "Heaven Research"). The Band of Gypsys LP was the only official completely live LP released in Hendrix's lifetime. The band also released a single "Stepping Stone" which failed to sell, and recorded several studio songs slated for Hendrix's future LP. In 1999, the tapes from the four Fillmore concerts were remastered and additional tracks and edits were released as Live at the Fillmore East. Litigation with Chalpin ended in 2007 after the "singularly uncredible witness" was fined nearly $900,000 for failure to abide by contractual limitations and failure to pay Experience Hendrix L.L.C. its court ordered royalties. On January 26 and 27, 1970, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding flew into New York and signed contracts with Jeffery for the upcoming Jimi Hendrix Experience tour. The next day, a second and final Band of Gypsys appearance occurred at a twelve-act show in Madison Square Garden which was a benefit for the massively popular anti-Vietnam War Moratorium Committee, titled the "Winter Festival for Peace". Similar to Woodstock, set delays forced Hendrix to take the stage at an inopportune 3 a.m., only this time he was obviously in no shape to play. He played "Who Knows" before snapping a vulgar response at a woman who shouted a request for "Foxy Lady". He played a second song, Earth Blues, he then told the audience: "That's what happens when earth fucks with space—never forget that".[103] He then sat down on the drum riser for a minute and then walked off stage. Various unverifiable assertions have been proffered to explain this bizarre scene. Buddy Miles claimed that manager Michael Jeffery dosed Hendrix with LSD in an effort to sabotage the current band and bring about the return of the Experience lineup.[104] But none of Hendrix's other close associates verifies his statement.

Cry of Love tour A week after the botched Band of Gypsys show, Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding gave an interview to Rolling Stone for the upcoming tour dates as a reunited Jimi Hendrix Experience. But Redding never even got to rehearse, as Hendrix just continued to work with Billy Cox. Noel was not told he wasn't going to be playing until the pretour rehearsals. Fans refer to this final "Jimi Hendrix Experience" lineup as the "Cry of Love" band, named after The Cry of Love Tour to distinguish it from the original. Billy Cox has countered on several occasions that this lineup considered themselves "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" before they even went on tour and that any other title is bogus. All billing, adverts, tickets etc. on the tour used "Jimi Hendrix Experience" or occasionally, as previously, just "Jimi Hendrix". Two of Hendrix's later recordings were the lead guitar parts on "Old Times Good Times" from Stephen Stills hit eponymous album (1970), and on "The Everlasting First" from Arthur Lee's new incarnation of Love's, not so successful and aptly named LP False Start both tracks were recorded with these old friends on a fleeting and

Jimi Hendrix unexplained visit to London in March 1970, following Kathy Etchingham's marriage.[105] He spent the next four months of 1970 working on his next LP tentatively titled First Rays of the New Rising Sun, recording during the week and playing live on the weekends. The "Cry of Love" tour, launched that April at the LA Forum, was partly undertaken to earn money to repay the Warner Bros loan for completing his Electric Lady Studios. Performances on this tour featured Hendrix, Cox, and Mitchell playing new material alongside older audience favourites. The USA leg of the tour included 30 performances and ended at Honolulu, Hawaii on August 1, 1970. A number of these shows were recorded and produced some of Hendrix's most memorable live performances.

Electric Lady Studios In 1968, Hendrix and Jeffery had invested jointly in the purchase of the Generation Club in Greenwich Village. Their initial plans to reopen the club were scrapped when the pair decided that the investment would serve them much better as a recording studio. The studio fees for the lengthy Electric Ladyland sessions were astronomical, and Hendrix was constantly in search of a recording environment that suited him. In August 1970, Electric Lady Studios was opened in New York. Designed by architect and acoustician John Storyk, the studio was made specifically for Hendrix, with round windows and a machine capable of generating ambient lighting in a myriad of colors. It was designed to have a relaxing feel to encourage Hendrix's creativity, but at the same time provide a professional recording atmosphere. Engineer Eddie Kramer upheld this by refusing to allow any drug use during session work. Hendrix spent only two and a half months recording in Electric Lady, most of which took place while the final phases of construction were still ongoing. Following a recording/dubbing session on August 26, an opening party was held later that day.[106] He then boarded an Air India flight for London with Billy Cox, joining Mitch Mitchell to perform at the Isle of Wight Festival.

European tour The group then commenced the European leg of the tour. Longing for his new studio and creative outlets, the tour was a commitment that Hendrix was not eager to perform. In Aarhus, Hendrix abandoned his show after only two songs, remarking: "I've been dead a long time". In the months before Hendrix's death, a British music paper alleged that Hendrix had plans to join the band Emerson, Lake & Palmer.[107] On September 6, 1970, his final concert performance, Hendrix was greeted with some booing and jeering by fans at the Isle of Fehmarn Festival in Germany, due to his non-appearance at the end of the previous nights bill, (due to the torrential rain and risk of electrocution). Several acts played after he left the stage, later part of the stage was burnt during the first stage appearance of Ton Steine Scherben. Billy Cox quit the tour and headed home to Memphis, Tennessee, reportedly suffering paranoia after taking LSD or being given it unknowingly, earlier in the tour.[108] Hendrix returned to London, where he reportedly spoke to Chas Chandler, Eric Burdon, and others about leaving his manager, Michael Jeffery. Hendrix's last public performance was an informal jam at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in Soho with Burdon and his latest band, War.

Jimi Hendrix

Death Early on September 18, 1970, Jimi Hendrix died in London. He had spent the latter part of the previous evening at a party and was picked up by girlfriend Monika Dannemann and driven to her flat at the Samarkand Hotel, 22 Lansdowne Crescent, Notting Hill. According to the estimated time of death, from autopsy data and statements by friends about the evening of September 17, he died within a few hours after midnight, though no precise estimate was made at the original inquest.[109] Dannemann claimed in her original testimony that after they returned to her lodgings the evening before, Hendrix, unknown to her, had taken nine of her prescribed Vesperax sleeping pills. The normal medical dose was half a tablet, but Hendrix was unfamiliar with this very strong German brand. According to surgeon John Bannister, the doctor who initially attended to him, Hendrix had asphyxiated in his own vomit, mainly red wine which had filled his airways, as the autopsy was to The two buildings which composed the show.[110] For years, Dannemann publicly claimed that she had only Samarkand Hotel. Hendrix died in one of the two discovered that her lover was unconscious and unresponsive sometime basement apartments which were accessed from one of the two exterior steps in front of the after 9 a.m., that Hendrix was alive when placed in the back of the buildings. ambulance after half past eleven, and that she rode with him on the way to the hospital; the latter two are denied by the ambulance crew. However, Dannemann's comments about that morning were often contradictory, varying from interview to interview.[111] Police and ambulance statements reveal that there was no one but Hendrix in the flat when they arrived at 11:27 a.m., and not only was he dead when they arrived on the scene, but was fully clothed and had been dead for some time.[112] Later, Dannemen claimed that former road managers Gerry Stickels and Eric Barrett had been present before the ambulance was called and had removed some of Hendrix's possessions, including some of his most recent messages. Lyrics written by Hendrix, which were found in the apartment, led Eric Burdon to make a premature announcement on the BBC-TV program 24 Hours that he believed Hendrix had committed suicide. Burdon often claimed he had been telephoned by Dannemann after she discovered that Jimi failed to wake up.[113] Following a libel case brought in 1996 by Hendrix's long-term English girlfriend Kathy Etchingham, Monika Dannemann committed suicide.

Allegations of murder A former Animals "roadie," James "Tappy" Wright, published a book in May 2009 claiming Hendrix's manager, Mike Jeffery, admitted to him that he had Hendrix killed because the rock star wanted to end his management contract.[114] John Bannister, the doctor who attended the scene of his death in 1970 stated publicly in 2009 "The amount of wine that was over him was just extraordinary. Not only was it saturated right through his hair and shirt but his lungs and stomach were absolutely full of wine. I have never seen so much wine. We had a sucker that you put down into his trachea, the entrance to his lungs and to the whole of the back of his throat. We kept sucking him out and it kept surging and surging. He had already vomited up masses of red wine and I would have thought there was half a bottle of wine in his hair. He had really drowned in a massive amount of red wine."[115] In 1992, Bannister, according to the Daily Mail, was struck off for "fraudulent conduct" .[116]

It was claimed that Mike Jeffery was not "in London," he was in Spain when Jimi died in London on September 18, 1970. "There was a freak storm across Majorca and all the phone lines were down. Somebody told Mike that Jimi had been trying to phone him. The first call that got through was to say Jimi was dead. Mike was terribly upset at the thought of Jimi not being able to get through to him." - Trixie Sullivan, secretary/assistant for Mike Jeffery [117]

Fashion Hendrix was well known for his unique sense of fashion and wardrobe and his Dylan-esque (c. 1966) hairstyle. A set of hair curlers was one of the few possessions that traveled with him to England when he was first discovered in 1966. When his first advance check arrived, Hendrix immediately took to the streets of London in search of clothing at famous boutiques like I Was Lord Kitchener's Valet and Granny Takes a Trip, both of which specialized in vintage fashion. He purchased at least two army dress uniform jackets, including an old Hussar's jacket adorned with tasseled ropes. A group of policemen once ordered him to remove a Royal Veterinary Corps dress jacket, saying it was an offense to the men who had worn it.[118] Many photographs of Hendrix show him wearing various scarves, rings, medallions, and brooches, and in the early days occasionally badges (pins or buttons) that professed his support for the hippie movement or his fascination with Bob Dylan. He initially wore a dark suit and plain silk shirts that progressively became "louder" and more psychedelically patterned. He later favored a bright blue velvet suit, A pair of Hendrix's bellbottoms on display at the Hard Rock Cafe, Hollywood then a bright red one, antique military dress jackets, a very broadly striped suit, psychedelically patterned silk jackets, various exotic waistcoats and brightly colored flared trousers. At Monterey, he wore a hand-painted silk jacket by Chris Jagger (Mick Jagger's brother) and a bright pink feather boa. In late 1967 he started to wear a wide-brimmed Western style hat (brand name "The Westerner").[119] It was adorned with a narrow purple band and various brooches, as shown in the original Jimi Plays Monterey film. This hat was stolen in 1968, and replaced later with another, crowned variously with a longer purple scarf, a star-like brooch in front and a set of silver bangles, sometimes with an angled feather, though he went hatless for protracted periods after this. From late 1968 he began tying scarves to one leg and one arm, and in mid-1969 he gave up the hat for bandanas. He started wearing increasingly fantastic custom-made stage costume with long trailing sleeves, culminating in his African-styled "Fire Angel" outfit that he wore throughout most of his final "Cry Of Love" tour, until it began to come apart during the Isle of Wight concert. He appeared in this outfit only once more (in just the jacket) at the disastrous concert in Aarhus, Denmark. His only non-work-related vacation was a two-week trip to Morocco in July 1969 with friends Colette Mimram, Stella Benabou (the then-wife of producer Alan Douglas), and Deering Howe. Upon his return Hendrix decorated his Greenwich Village apartment with Moroccan objets d'art and fabrics. Mimram and Benabou created some of Hendrix's most memorable later attire, the shortened blue kimono-style jacket that he wore in three TV appearances and the white fringed jacket, ornamented with blue glass beads, he wore at the Woodstock Festival.[120]

Jimi Hendrix

Drug use Hendrix is widely known for and associated with the use of psychedelic drugs, most notably lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), as were many other famous musicians and celebrities of that time. He supposedly had never taken psychedelic drugs until the night he met Linda Keith, but smoked cannabis and drank alcohol previously. Amphetamines are also recorded as being used by Hendrix during tours. Hendrix was notorious among friends and bandmates for sometimes becoming angry and violent when he drank too much alcohol.[121] Kathy Etchingham spoke of an incident that took place in His arrest photo in Canada. He was subsequently a London pub in which an intoxicated Hendrix beat her with a public acquitted of the drug possession charges. telephone handset because he thought she was calling another man on the pay phone.[122] Carmen Borrero, another girlfriend, says she required stitches after he hit her with a bottle after drinking and becoming jealous.[123] Alcohol was also cited as the cause of Hendrix's 1968 rampage that badly damaged a Stockholm hotel room and led to his arrest. Paul Caruso's friendship with Hendrix ended in 1970 when Hendrix, while under the influence, punched him and accused him of stealing from him.[124] On May 3, 1969, while checking through Canadian customs at Toronto Pearson International Airport, Hendrix was arrested when small amounts of heroin and hashish were found in his luggage. After being released on a $10,000 cash bail the same day, only four hours before his show was to begin, (and being required to appear in court at a later date), the Experience were able to play their concert at Maple Leaf Gardens. In his trial defense, Hendrix claimed that the drugs were slipped into his bag by a fan without his knowledge. He was acquitted.[125]

Jimi Hendrix fans damaging the adjoining graves at Greenwood, and the growing, extended Hendrix family further prompted his father to create an expanded memorial site separate from other burial sites in the park. The memorial was announced in late 1999, but Al Hendrix's deteriorating health led to delays and he died two months before its scheduled completion in 2002. Later that year, the remains of Jimi Hendrix, his father Al Hendrix, and grandmother Nora Rose Moore Hendrix were moved to the new site. The headstone contains a depiction of a Fender Stratocaster guitar, the instrument he was most famed for using —– although the guitar is shown right-side up, rather than the way Hendrix played it, upside down (left-handed). The memorial is a granite dome supported by three pillars under which Jimi Hendrix and other family members are interred. Hendrix's autograph is inscribed at the base of each pillar, while two stepped entrances and one ramped entrance provide access to the dome's center where the original Stratocaster adorned headstone has been incorporated into a statue pedestal. A granite sundial complete with brass gnomon adjoins the dome, along with over 50 family plots that surround the central structure, half of which are currently adorned with raised granite headstones. To date, the memorial remains incomplete: brass accents for the dome and a large brass statue of Hendrix were announced as being under construction in Italy, but since 2002, no information as to the status of the project has been revealed to the public. A memorial statue of Jimi playing a Stratocaster stands near the corner of Broadway and Pine Streets in Seattle. In May 2006, the city of Seattle honored Hendrix with the re-naming of a park near Seattle's Colman School in the Central District.[126]

Recordings Hendrix's recordings were originally released in North America on Reprise Records (a division of Warner Communications) from 1967 until 1993 and were released Internationally (outside of US & Canada) on Polydor Records. (Because it was recorded to settle a legal dispute, the Band of Gypsys album was released on Capitol Records in US & Canada.) British releases of all his albums up to and including The Cry Of Love were first issued on the independent label Track Records, which was originally created by the managers of The Who. The label was later absorbed by Polydor. In 1994, the Hendrix family prevailed in its long standing legal attempt to gain control of Jimi's music, and subsequently licensed the recordings to MCA Records (later Universal Music) through the family-run company Experience Hendrix. In August 2009, Experience Hendrix announced that it had entered a new licensing agreement with Sony Music Entertainment's Legacy Recordings division which would take effect in 2010.

Unfinished work and posthumous releases Reports that Hendrix's tapes for a concept album Black Gold had been stolen and lost from the London flat, are incorrect. Hendrix gave those tapes to Mitch Mitchell at the Isle of Wight Festival three weeks prior to his death.[127] They are now in the possession of Experience Hendrix LLC. Hendrix's unfinished album was partly released as the 1971 title The Cry of Love. The album was well received and charted in several countries. However, the album's producers, Mitchell and Kramer, would later complain that they were unable to make use of all the tracks they wanted. This was due to some tracks being used for 1971's Rainbow Bridge and 1972's War Heroes for contractual reasons. Material from The Cry of Love was rereleased in 1997 as First Rays of the New Rising Sun, along with the rest of the tracks that Mitchell and Kramer wanted to include. Many of Hendrix's personal items, tapes, and many pages of lyrics and poems are now in the hands of private collectors and have attracted considerable sums at the occasional auctions.[128] These materials surfaced after two employees, under the instructions of Mike Jeffery, removed items from Hendrix's Greenwich Village apartment following his death.

Jimi Hendrix In 2010, Legacy Recordings and Experience Hendrix LLC launched the 2010 Jimi Hendrix Catalog Project, starting with the release of Valleys of Neptune in March.[129] Legacy is also planning to release deluxe CD/DVD editions of the Hendrix albums Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love, Electric Ladyland and First Rays of the New Rising Sun, as well as reissuing the 1968 compilation album Smash Hits.[129]

Legacy Hendrix synthesized many styles in creating his musical voice and his guitar style was unique, later to be abundantly imitated by others. Despite his hectic touring schedule and notorious perfectionism, he was a prolific recording artist and left behind more than 300 unreleased recordings. His career and death grouped him with Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, Ron "Pigpen" McKernan (of the Grateful Dead), and Kurt Cobain as one of the 27 Club, a group including iconic 1960s rock stars who suffered drug-related deaths at age 27 within months of each other, leaving legacies in death that have eclipsed the popularity and influence they experienced during their lifetimes. Despite his popularity and the lavish praise heaped upon his guitar skills, he was surprisingly humble. Musically, Hendrix did much to further the development of the electric guitar's repertoire, establishing it as a unique sonic source, rather than merely an amplified version of the acoustic guitar. Likewise, his feedback, wah-wah and fuzz-laden soloing moved guitar distortion well beyond mere novelty, incorporating other effects pedals and units specifically designed for him by his sound technician Roger Mayer (such as the Octavia and Univibe) with dramatic results. Hendrix affected popular music with similar profundity; along with earlier bands such as The Who and Cream, he established a sonically heavy yet technically proficient bent to rock music as a whole, significantly furthering the development of hard rock and paving the way for heavy metal. He took blues to another level. His music has also had a great influence on funk and the development of funk rock especially through the guitarists Ernie Isley of The Isley Brothers and Eddie Hazel of Funkadelic, Prince, John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jesse Johnson of The Time. His influence even extends to many hip hop artists, including Questlove, Chuck D of Public Enemy, Ice-T (who covered "Hey Joe" with his heavy metal band Body Count), El-P and Wyclef Jean. Miles Davis was also deeply impressed by Hendrix and compared his improvisational skills with those of saxophonist John Coltrane,[130] and Davis would later want guitarists in his bands to emulate Hendrix.[131] Hendrix was ranked number 3 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock behind Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Hendrix was ranked number 3 on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of Rock N' Roll, behind the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. He has been voted by Rolling Stone, Guitar World, and a number of other magazines and polls as the best electric guitarist of all time. Guitar World's readers voted six of Hendrix's solos among the top "100 Greatest" of all time: "Purple Haze" (70), "The Star-Spangled Banner" (52), "Machine Gun" (32), "Little Wing" (18), "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" (11) and "All Along the Watchtower (5).[132] In 1992, Hendrix was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Financial legacy When Al Hendrix died of congestive heart failure in 2002, his will stipulated that Experience Hendrix, LLC was to exist as a trust designed to distribute profits to a list of Hendrix family beneficiaries. Upon his death, it was revealed that Al had signed a revision to his will which removed Hendrix's brother Leon Hendrix as a beneficiary. A 2004 probate lawsuit merged Leon's challenge to the will with charges from other Hendrix family beneficiaries that Janie Hendrix, Al's adopted daughter, was improperly handling the company finances. The suit argued that Janie and a cousin of Jimi Hendrix (Robert Hendrix) paid themselves exorbitant salaries and covered their own mortgages and personal expenses from the company's coffers while the beneficiaries went without payment and the Hendrix gravesite in Renton went uncompleted.

17

Jimi Hendrix Janie and Robert's defense was that the company was not profitable yet, and that their salary and benefits were justified given the work that they put into running the company. Leon charged that Janie bilked Al Hendrix, then old and frail, into signing the revised will, and sought to have the previous will reinstated.[133] The defense argued that Al willingly removed Leon from his will because of Leon's problems with alcohol and gambling. In early 2005, presiding judge Jeffrey Ramsdell handed down a ruling that left the final will intact, but replaced Janie and Robert's role at the financial helm of Experience Hendrix with an independent trustee.

The Jimi Hendrix Foundation In 1987, Leon Hendrix commissioned the James (Jimi) Marshall Hendrix Foundation. This foundation is based in Renton, Washington. Though run for some time by Jimi's brother Leon Hendrix, in August, 2006 Leon asked a childhood friend of Jimi Hendrix – James (Jimmy) Williams, to take control of the Foundation.[134]

Guitar legacy Fender Stratocaster Hendrix owned and used a variety of guitars during his career. His guitar of choice however, and the instrument that became most associated with him, was the Fender Stratocaster, or "Strat". He started playing Stratocasters in 1966 and thereafter used it almost exclusively for his stage performances and recordings. Hendrix bought many Strats and gave some away as gifts. The original sunburst Stratocaster that Hendrix burnt at the Astoria in 1967, and that he kept as a souvenir, was given to Frank Zappa by a Hendrix roadie at the 1968 Miami Pop Festival; Zappa assumed it was the one Hendrix had played there.[135] Hendrix used right-handed guitars, turned upside down for left-hand playing, and restrung so that the heavier strings were in their standard position at the top of the neck.[136] This had an important effect on his guitar sound: because of the slant of the Strat's bridge pickup, his lowest string had a bright sound while his highest string had a mellow sound, the opposite of the Stratocaster's intended design.[137] Heavy use of the tremolo bar necessitated frequent tuning; Hendrix often asked the audience for a "minute to tune up", as heard on many live bootlegs of his performances. In addition to Fender Stratocasters, Hendrix was also photographed playing Jazzmasters, Duosonics, two different Gibson Flying Vs, a Gibson Les Paul, three Gibson SGs, a Gretsch Corvette he used at the 1967 Curtis Knight sessions and miming with a right strung Fender Jaguar on the "Top Of The Pop's" TV show, as well as several other brands.[138] Hendrix borrowed a Fender Telecaster from Noel Redding to record "Hey Joe" and "Purple Haze",[139] used a white Gibson SG Custom for his performances on the Dick Cavett show in the summer of 1969, and the Isle of Wight film shows him playing his second Gibson Flying V. While Jimi had previously owned a Flying V that he'd painted with a psychedelic design, the Flying V used at the Isle of Wight was a unique custom left-handed guitar with gold plated hardware, a bound fingerboard and "split-diamond" fret markers that were not found on other 60s-era Flying Vs. On December 4, 2006, one of Hendrix's 1968 Fender Stratocaster guitars with a sunburst design was sold at a Christie's auction for USD$168,000.[140] Amplifiers and effects Hendrix was a catalyst in the development of modern guitar effects pedals. His high volume and use of feedback required robust and powerful amplifiers. For the first few rehearsals he used Vox and Fender amplifiers. Sitting in with Cream, Hendrix played through a new range of high-powered guitar amps being made by London drummer turned audio engineer Jim Marshall, and they proved perfect for his needs. Along with the Stratocaster, the Marshall stack and amplifiers were crucial in shaping his heavily overdriven sound, enabling him to master the use of feedback as a musical effect, and he created a "definitive vocabulary for rock guitar."[141]

18

Jimi Hendrix While his mainstays were the Arbiter Fuzz Face and a Vox wah-wah pedal,[141] Hendrix experimented with guitar effects as well. He had a fruitful association with engineer Roger Mayer who later went on to make the Axis fuzz unit, the Octavia octave doubler and several other devices based on units Mayer had created or tweaked for Hendrix. The Japanese-made Univibe, designed to simulate the modulation effects of the rotating Leslie speaker, provided a rich phasing sound with a speed control pedal, and is heard on the Band of Gypsys track "Machine Gun," which highlights use of the univibe, octavia and fuzz face pedals. The Hendrix sound combined high volume and high power, feedback manipulation, and a range of cutting-edge guitar effects. He was also known for his trick playing, which included playing with only his right (fretting) hand and using his teeth or playing behind his back and between his legs. Hendrix had large hands and characteristically used his thumb to fret bass notes, leaving his fingers free to play melodic lines on top. A clear demonstration of this thumb technique can be witnessed in the Woodstock video; during the song Red House there are closeups of Hendrix's fretting hand.

Former members Jimi Hendrix Noel Redding Mitch Mitchell

The Jimi Hendrix Experience were a British-American psychedelic rock band that formed in London in October 1966. Comprising eponymous singer-songwriter and guitarist Jimi Hendrix, bassist and backing vocalist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell, the band was active until June 1969, in which time the group released three successful studio albums. After Redding left the band, Hendrix and Mitchell stayed together through other projects. The Experience 'reunited' in 1970 with Billy Cox dubbed "The Cry of Love", until Hendrix's death in September 1970. Redding died in 2003, and Mitchell became the last original member of the band to die in November 2008. Widely recognised as a band hugely influential on the development of hard rock and heavy metal in the 1970s and beyond, The Experience were best known for the skill, style and charisma of frontman Hendrix, who has been noted as one of the greatest guitarists ever by various music publications and writers. All three of the band's studio albums, Are You Experienced (1967), Axis: Bold as Love (1967) and Electric Ladyland (1968), were featured in the Rolling Stone list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, at positions 15, 82 and 54 respectively, and in 1992, The Jimi Hendrix Experience were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience

History Jimi Hendrix arrived in England in September 1966[1] and with his new manager Chas Chandler formed a backing band with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell.[2] Mitchell was a seasoned London drummer formerly with Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames who brought Jazz chops and a lead style of playing to the band. He would prove to be Hendrix's most valuable musical partner. Redding was chosen because Hendrix liked his attitude towards music and hairstyle. It was the first time that he had ever played bass in a band, as he was a guitarist. The name "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" was coined by their business manager Mike Jeffery.[3] Though initially conceived as Hendrix's backing band, The Experience soon became much more than that. Following the lead of Cream, they were one of the first groups to popularize the "power trio" format, which stripped a rock band line-up down to guitar, bass, and drums. This smaller format also encouraged more extroverted playing from the band members, often at very high volumes. In the case of The Experience, Hendrix mixed lead and rhythm guitar duties into one, while also making use of guitar effects such as feedback and later the wah-wah pedal to an extent that had never been heard before. Mitchell played hard-hitting jazz-influenced grooves that often served a melodic role as much as they did timekeeping. Redding played deceptively simple bass lines that helped to anchor the band's sound. Visually, they set the trend in psychedelic clothes, and, following his band-mates' Bob Dylan 1966-style hair-dos, Mitchell got himself a permed copy. The group came to prominence in the US only after the June 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, one of the first major rock music festivals.[2] The band's performance ended with Hendrix famously setting his psychedelically painted Fender Stratocaster on fire.[4] After the festival they were then asked to go on tour with The Monkees. They joined the tour on July 8, 1967 in Jacksonville, FL, the second act on a three band bill, opened by The Sundowners. Less than 2 weeks later and after only a handful of engagements, they left the tour, reportedly frustrated by audience response. The last Hendrix/Monkees concert was performed at Flushing Meadows in Queens, NY. - Chas Chandler later said that it was all a publicity stunt.[5] With the band, Hendrix recorded his five hit singles "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", "The Wind Cries Mary", "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", and "All Along the Watchtower", and his three most successful albums, Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, and Electric Ladyland. The band however was beginning to splinter by April of 1969. Hendrix's deteriorating relations with Redding were coming to a head, and Hendrix also felt his musical development was hampered by the trio format. Hendrix had also begun to experiment with depressants and psychedelic drugs. He was prone to mood swings, which created conflicts within the band.[6] The original group held together long enough to fulfill their existing engagements, culminating in the Denver Pop Festival on June 29, 1969. From the stage, Hendrix made the infamous announcement: "This is the last gig we'll be playing together". The original Experience was dissolved. Hendrix experimented with a larger band line-up known as Gypsy Sun and Rainbows for his Woodstock concert in August 1969, but would revert to the trio format with the Band of Gypsys. But by 1970, Hendrix had disbanded the Band of Gypsys - it has been claimed this was due to the desire of Michael Jeffery (now Jimi's only manager) to reform the original Experience line-up, but as Trixie Sullivan, Jeffery's assistant, testified, Jimi did exactly as he felt musically and Jeffery just handled the business side, as usual. Also, according to Gypsys bassist Billy Cox, the all-black power trio was mainly a one-off to help Hendrix fulfill an outstanding obligation to Ed Chalpin by recording a one-off live LP. Jeffery called Redding and Mitchell about reforming the Experience. Both agreed to participate in what would seem to be a great money maker of a tour; Mitchell and Redding could use the cash, and the tour would also get Jimi out of the financial problems he was in at the time partly due to the building of Electric Lady Studios. Hendrix was open to have Mitchell rejoin, but reluctant to bring Redding back into the fold. In early February 1970, it seemed as if the original Experience was reformed. Manager Michael Jeffery even set up an interview with Rolling Stone magazine to announce the return of the group, published on 19 March 1970 in Rolling Stone as J.H.: The End of a Beginning Maybe (and reprinted in Guitar Player magazine five years after Hendrix's death). While the interview gave the impression that the old wounds were healed and the future seemingly bright for the Experience, it was far from the truth. Redding was waiting for weeks to hear back about rehearsals for

26

The Jimi Hendrix Experience the upcoming tour when he finally spoke with Mitchell's girlfriend only to learn that he had been replaced by Billy Cox. Before it started, Jimi "called this tour The Cry of Love, because that's what it is" in an interview; this is the only mention of that name, prior to the posthumous LP of that name (1971), and the group itself was still referred to in all ads, articles, promos, bookings, introductions, etc. as the "Jimi Hendrix Experience" or just "Jimi Hendrix". So after a break of nearly ten months (during which he only played six dates) the "Jimi Hendrix Experience" hit the road for one last tour. Jimi felt the band should stay in America and record for the next LP, while Mike Jeffereys wanted a tour of Europe. The band set for Europe and the tour was a bad decision from the start. Hendrix had a cold, was not getting rest, and was still affected by the change of climate. His disdain for the management and his financial situation accumulated stress, and by the European leg it was evident Hendrix was unhappy and unfit for tour. Mitchell reported that Hendrix was not even doing sound checks before the performances. During this period, before the Isle of Wight festival, Jimi spoke to his friend Richie Havens about his troubles. Havens recollects, "He was terribly unhappy, extremely depressed, and asked for my help. 'I'm having a real bad time with my managers and lawyers' Jimi said. 'They're killing me; everything is wired against me and it's getting so bad I can't eat or sleep...'". During a break in the tour later that year, Hendrix died on September 18, 1970 in controversial circumstances.[2] In 1992, The Experience was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[1] Noel Redding was found dead in his home in Ireland on May 11, 2003. Mitch Mitchell was found dead at approximately 3 AM on November 12, 2008 in his room at the Benson Hotel in downtown Portland. He was the last surviving member of the original Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Noel Redding

Biography Born as David Noel Redding in Folkestone,[1] he was selected by Chas Chandler to join Hendrix's band at its inception in 1966, and left in 1969. Although he appeared in other bands before and after Hendrix's death, he never achieved a similar level of success, and retired to Clonakilty, Ireland in 1972. At age nine, Redding played violin at school and then mandolin and guitar. His first public appearances were at the Hythe Youth Club then at Harvey Grammar School where he was a student. His first local bands were: • The Strangers: with John "Andy" Andrews (bass) • The Lonely Ones: 1961 - John Andrews (bass) Bob Hiscocks (rhythm guitar); Mick Wibley (drums); Pete Kircher (vocals and in '62. drums). The Lonely Ones made (45 EP vinyl, private record) at the Hayton Manor Studio in Stanford, Kent, in 1963, with Derek Knight on vocals, Trevor Sutton on drums, Noel Redding on lead guitar and John Andrews on bass. First recordings: Some Other Guy; Money; Talking About You; Anna. • The Loving Kind: 1966 with Pete (Kircher) Carter (drums); Jim Leverton (bass); and Derek Knight (vocals). At 17 Redding went professional and toured in Scotland and Germany, in the clubs with Neil Landon and the Burnettes formed in late 1962 and The Loving Kind formed in November 1965. Redding was the first person to join the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and the first to leave. His final concert with them was in June 1969.[2] With the band, he participated in recording the 3 landmark albums "Are You Experienced", "Axis: Bold as Love", and "Electric Ladyland", as well as performing in some of Hendrix's most celebrated concerts. His playing style was distinguished by the use of a pick, a mid-range "trebly" sound, and in later years the use of fuzz and distortion effects through overdriven Sunn amps. His role in the band was that of a time-keeper. He would typically lay down a bass groove which Hendrix and drummer Mitch Mitchell would loosely play on top of. He would however occasionally take a solo during concert, and also played rhythm guitar on two album tracks ("Little Miss Strange" and "She's So Fine", both composed by Redding). In 1968, before leaving the Jimi Hendrix Experience Redding had formed the group Fat Mattress with another Kent musician Neil Landon (born as Patrick Cahill, 27 July 1941, Kindford, Sussex) on vocals, Jim Leverton (born 1946, Dover, Kent) and Eric Dillon, the drummer (born 1950, Swindon). Later, Martin Barre played for a short time before he joined Jethro Tull. The band produced two albums before breaking up shortly after the release of the second in 1970.[3] One more effort by Hendrix manager, Michael Jeffery was attempted to reunite the Jimi Hendrix Experience months after the Woodstock event. This basically consisted of an interview with Hendrix, Redding and Mitchell by Rolling Stone magazine. No shows or recordings resulted. He soon left the Jimi Hendrix Experience for the last time and went on to other projects. While living in Los Angeles Redding joined Road,[4] a heavy metal three-piece, with Rod Richards (born as Rod Cox; ex Rare Earth) on guitar, and Les Sampson on drums. They released one album, Road (1972). Noel Redding moved to Ireland in 1972. He formed The Noel Redding Band with Eric Bell from Thin Lizzy, Dave Clarke, Les Sampson, and Robbie Walsh. They did two albums for RCA, three tours of the Netherlands, two tours of England, one tour of Ireland and a 10-week tour in America. The band dissolved after a dispute with their management company. Tracks recorded for a third, unreleased album were later released as The Missing Album on Mouse Records. [5] In his book Are You Experienced? (co-authored with Carol Appleby) he spoke openly about his disappointment in his being cut off from the profits of the continued sale of the Hendrix recordings. He was forced to sign away his royalties in 1974, and later had to sell the bass guitar he used during that time. Redding had received £100,000 as a one-off payment after he had been told that there would be no more releases of Jimi Hendrix Experience material but this had been before the advent of CDs and DVDs which sold millions of copies. Right up until his death, Redding had been planning legal action against the Hendrix estate for payment estimated at £3.26 million for his part in

Noel Redding Hendrix' recording and for ongoing royalties.[6] Redding was married to a Danish school-teacher Susanne Redding, and has a son, Nicolas Noel Redding (who reportedly inherited a settlement of 800,000 euro, which equals a minor part of the fortune). Noel Redding recorded and toured sporadically through the years, occasionally doing session work on other artists' albums including recording for Thin Lizzy and Traffic. He performed with the rock band Phish in 1993. He also formed Shut Up Frank [7] with Dave Clarke, Mick Avory of The Kinks and Dave Rowberry of The Animals. They toured extensively and recorded several albums, which are still available on Mouse Records Mouse Records website [8]

Death Redding was found dead in his home in Clonakilty on 11 May 2003.[9] A post mortem was carried out on 13 May at Cork University Hospital in Wilton, Cork. The report concluded that Redding died from "Shock haemorrhage due to oesophageal varices in reaction to cirrhosis of the liver."[10] He was 57 years old. In the village of Ardfield, local people erected a plaque to his memory. A compilation CD and record entitled The Experience Sessions was released by Experience Hendrix, LLC in 2004. Along with the released tracks ("She's So Fine" and "Little Miss Strange") the collection contains rare and unreleased Redding-penned songs recorded by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Most of the tracks are outtakes from Axis: Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland, and feature Redding predominantly on guitar (with Hendrix on bass). It also features a live version of Hendrix's "Red House" with Redding on rhythm guitar.

John "Mitch" Mitchell (9 July 1947 – 12 November 2008) was an English drummer, best known for his work in The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Biography Early life and the Jimi Hendrix Experience Before joining the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Mitchell gained considerable musical experience touring and playing as a session musician. He also had an acting background, and had starred in a children's television programme, Jennings and Derbyshire, when he was a teenager.[1] Pre-Experience bands included Frankie Reid and the Casuals (1962), Johnny Harris and the Shades, The Pretty Things, Bill Knight & The Sceptres, The Riot Squad, Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames, and The Who as a session drummer while the band was deciding on a replacement for Doug Sandom.[2] (The band's eventual choice was Keith Moon). He had also worked in Jim Marshall's (creator of the Marshall amplifier) music shop in London.[3] Mitchell auditioned for Hendrix's band in October of 1966, beating out many other British drummers, including Aynsley Dunbar (who, according to Hendrix's manager Chas Chandler, was their other final choice. Mitch won the job on the flip of a coin). Mitchell was praised for his work with the Jimi Hendrix Experience on songs such as "Manic Depression", "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", "Fire" and "Third Stone from the Sun". Mitchell came from a jazz background and like many of his drummer contemporaries was strongly influenced by the work of Elvin Jones, Max Roach, and Joe Morello.[4] Mitchell played in Hendrix's Experience trio from October 1966 to mid-1969, in his Woodstock band of August 1969, and also with the later incarnation of the Experience in 1970 with Billy Cox on bass, known posthumously as the "Cry of Love" band. Hendrix would often record tracks in the studio with only Mitchell, and in concert the two

Mitch Mitchell fed off of each other to exciting effect.[3] In December 1968, Mitchell played in the band The Dirty Mac assembled for The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus in 1968. Other members included John Lennon as vocalist and rhythm guitarist "Winston Leg-Thigh"; Yoko Ono providing improvised primal screams; Eric Clapton as guitarist, and Keith Richards as bassist. The group recorded a cover of "Yer Blues" as well as a jam called "Whole Lotta Yoko".[3] Another noteworthy musical collaboration in the late 1960s was with the Jack Bruce and Friends band featuring Mitchell along with ex-Cream bassist and vocalist Jack Bruce, keyboardist Mike Mandel and jazz-fusion guitarist and future The Eleventh House frontman Larry Coryell. Mitchell played in this band during late 1969 and early 1970, when Hendrix was working with the Band of Gypsys. Mitchell also took part in some of Miles Davis' demo sessions for Miles' 1969 album Bitches Brew, but does not appear on the final album.

Post-Hendrix After Hendrix's death, Mitchell (with engineer Eddie Kramer) finished production work on multiple incomplete Hendrix recordings, resulting in the posthumous releases The Cry of Love and Rainbow Bridge. In 1972, he teamed up with guitarists Mike Pinera (from Iron Butterfly) and April Lawton to form the innovative act Ramatam. They recorded one album and were Emerson, Lake & Palmer's opening act at a number of concerts. Interestingly, Mitchell and Hendrix had been offered spots in the band Keith Emerson and Greg Lake were forming. But it never came to pass, Carl Palmer got the drum position and the band was Keyboard led with Lake doubling in on guitar now and again. Ramatam never achieved commercial success and Mitchell left the act before their second LP was released. Mitchell also performed in some concerts with Terry Reid, Jack Bruce and Jeff Beck (substituting for drummer Cozy Powell, then sick). According to John McDermott's book Hendrix: Setting the Record Straight, Michael Jeffery, Hendrix's manager, relegated Mitchell and Noel Redding to paid employees without an ownership share in future revenues. This limited their earnings to a low rate and led to Mitchell and Redding being largely excluded from sharing in future revenues generated from their work with the Experience. This arrangement pressured Mitchell in the mid-1970s to sell a prized Hendrix guitar. In addition, he sold his small legal claim to future Hendrix record sales for a sum reported to be about $200,000. In 1974, he auditioned for Paul McCartney's band Wings, but was turned down in favour of drummer Geoff Britton. For the rest of the 1970s through to the 1990s, Mitchell continued to perform and occasionally record, usually under the radar of most of his fans. He kept reasonably busy with session work (such as Junior Brown's Long Walk Back album) as well as participating in various Hendrix-related recordings, videos, and interviews. In 1999, Mitchell appeared on the Bruce Cameron's album Midnight Daydream that included Billy Cox and Buddy Miles along with Jack Bruce. Mitchell, seemingly in an attempt to satisfy the most enthusiastic fans of his drum work with Hendrix, even played a series of live shows with the Hendrix emulator Randy Hansen. Most recently, he was part of the Gypsy Sun Experience, along with Cox and guitarist Gary Serkin. He became semi-retired, living in Europe. In 2005, he was named the 23rd greatest drummer of all time by Rolling Stone.

Mitch Mitchell

Death His last days were spent celebrating Hendrix's music on the 2008 Experience Hendrix Tour. For nearly four weeks the tour travelled coast to coast in an 18-city tour in the US, finishing in Portland, Oregon.[5] The tour also featured Buddy Guy, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Johnson, Cesar Rosas, David Hidalgo, Aerosmith's Brad Whitford, Hubert Sumlin, Chris Layton as well as Eric Gales and Mato Nanji. Five days after the tour ended Mitchell was found dead at about 3am on November 12, in his room at the Benson Hotel in downtown Portland.[6] Following medical tests, it was revealed by the Multnomah County Medical Examiner's Office that Mitchell had died in his sleep[7] [8] of what was thought to be natural causes. He was the last surviving member of the original Experience. Mitchell had planned to leave Portland that day to return to his home in England.

Style Mitchell pioneered a style of drumming which would later become known as fusion. This is a "lead" style of playing distinguished by interplay with lead instruments such as guitar or keyboards, and the blending of jazz and rock drumming styles. Though the use of lead drums was not a new concept in the world of jazz, it was relatively unheard of in the rock genre at the time. Upon joining Hendrix in late 1966, it soon became evident to Mitch that the trio format of the band was similar to the recently formed Cream, and that it would allow him an opportunity to become more free with his playing. Like a jazz drummer, Mitchell's playing not only provided a rhythmic support for the music, but also a source of momentum and melody. He made heavy use of snare rudiments, fast single and double stroke rolls, and jazz triplet patterns in his playing, and shifted between both traditional and matched grips. Notable examples of his style include the rudiment-heavy fills on Hey Joe, which help to carry the song through a series of increasingly intense climaxes. Manic Depression is a 3/4 rock waltz that finds Mitchell playing a driving Afro-Cuban inspired beat, which then shifts to an explosion of triplets all around the drumkit during the outro. Third Stone from the Sun incorporates a swing ride pattern to underpin Hendrix's jazzy surf guitar, and the spacey breakdown section features polyrhythmic drum fills that float over the 4/4 meter. 1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be) features military-style snare drum work and delicate cymbal playing that evokes the sound of wind chimes. The long blues jam Voodoo Chile features Mitchell playing a deep blues groove with subtle hi-hat accenting and powerful drum fills that help to propel the song to new heights. Alongside Hendrix's revolutionary guitar work and songwriting, Mitchell's playing helped redefine rock music drumming.[9]

William 'Billy' Cox (born October 18, 1941, in Wheeling, West Virginia) is a bassist, best known for performing with Jimi Hendrix. Billy first met Hendrix in the early part of the 1960s, when they were both in the United States Army, stationed at Fort Campbell. Cox teamed with Hendrix in an R&B band called the King Kasuals. The two performed at clubs in Nashville, Tennessee. While in England, Hendrix invited Cox to join him in a new band; Cox declined, preferring to work in various backing bands. The spot instead went to Noel Redding. They re-united musically in 1969, when Hendrix called on Cox to play bass in the Band of Gypsys. In addition to the Band of Gypsys release, Cox's bass playing can be heard on such posthumously released Hendrix albums as South Saturn Delta, Live at Woodstock, Live at the Fillmore East, Nine to the Universe, and a reconstructed version of First Rays of the New Rising Sun, in addition to such home-videos as Live at the Isle of Wight 1970, Live at Woodstock, The Dick Cavett Show, Rainbow Bridge, and Jimi Hendrix. Billy Cox played at Woodstock with Hendrix's Gypsy Sun and Rainbows; On September 8, 2006, Billy mentioned in an interview on the KQRS-FM morning show that he can be heard playing bass on the first five notes of Jimi Hendrix's famous Woodstock "Star Spangled Banner". The rendition was completely impromptu according to him. He said he thought to himself at the moment, "I realized we had not rehearsed this, I had better lay off." He toured with Hendrix (with Mitch Mitchell on drums) for most of 1970 on the Cry of Love tour. Cox lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where he remains active in music, and acts as an ambassador for Jimi Hendrix, his music and philosophy. In 1971 Cox released his album Nitro Function with Char Vinnedge (from Luv'd Ones) and Robert Tarrant. Cox played with others, including the Charlie Daniels Band, as well as session work and live dates. In 1999 Billy Cox appeared on the late Bruce Cameron's album, Midnight Daydream, that included other Hendrix alumni Mitch Mitchell and Buddy Miles along with Jack Bruce and others. Cox continues to play to this day, including (in 1999) performing some dates along with Mitch Mitchell and guitarist Gary Serkin with a Hendrix-tribute outfit called the Gypsy Sun Experience.[1] Also he has played at the 2010 Jimi Hendrix tribute concert tour.

Billy Cox Cox worked on First Rays of the New Rising Sun, Hendrix's fourth studio album, which was cut off by Hendrix's death. Cox has also been known to guest speak at University level music seminars. In this capacity he has been helpful to the aspiring musicians by spending time with them in discussion and demonstration sessions. This spirit of sharing and helping other musicians is similar to his former bandleader Hendrix's vision of providing musicians with a no-pressure (including cost breaks if needed) recording environment in the now legendary Electric Lady studios located in Greenwich Village, NYC. As of November 12, 2008, he is the only surviving member of both The Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Band Of Gypsys. On Monday, October 12, 2009, Billy Cox was inducted into Musician's Hall of Fame in ceremonies held at The Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

Lawrence H. "Larry" Lee, Jr. (March 7, 1943 – October 30, 2007) was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist from Memphis, Tennessee, best known for his work with Al Green and Jimi Hendrix.

Gypsy Sun and Rainbows Lee was an old friend of Jimi Hendrix and Billy Cox, they had all played together in various R&B acts, and in 1969 he joined Hendrix's new band Gypsy Sun and Rainbows as rhythm guitarist, occasionally playing alternating lead. The newly formed band was hired to play the Woodstock Music Festival for which Hendrix had been previously booked to play as the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Lee had only been back from the Vietnam war for two weeks, was unemployed when Hendrix called him and had only joined Gypsy Sun and Rainbows a week before the Woodstock concert. At the concert Hendrix and Lee both wore white outfits and exotic headgear was much in evidence, Lee wore a distinctive green bandana that had long tassles hanging over his eyes, which at the time he thought was a statement of originality as he explains in the Woodstock DVD, whereas Billy Cox wore a multi coloured turban and Hendrix a bright pink bandana and large shining ear studs. Lee played a Gibson Les Paul guitar and sang his own composition 'Master Mind' as well as two Impressions numbers sung as a medley - 'Gypsy Woman' and 'Aware of Love', with Hendrix playing Curtis Mayfield style back up, he also took several solos and played some alternating lead ("weaving") with Hendrix (mostly edited from the official releases as is most of the percussion, which prevents the casual listener from appreciating the true sound of this group.[1] After Woodstock these "hired guns" briefly continued to help Hendrix develop his new style, which included the first of his classic, new "message" songs, in which Hendrix attempted to communicate his complex philosophy towards the current Vietnam war and human relationships in general: Machine Gun, Message to Love and Izabella. This group then played at the Harlem, 'United Block' benefit and later performed at the small 'Salvation' club in Greenwich Village to a mixed reception. Lee, Velez and Sultan then went off to pursue their briefly interrupted careers, Sultan later played occasional sessions for Hendrix.

Larry Lee

Al Green years During the seventies, Lee acted as the band director and lead guitarist for Al Green's touring band. He appeared on the Johnny Carson Show and television specials around the world with Green. Lee also was a songwriter and wrote for Stax Records early recording artists, the Astors. "Judy", a song he wrote during his days playing with Hendrix in Nashville was covered by Al Green and the Spidells. Lee briefly traveled with blues great Albert King. He said King fired him because his playing overshadowed King's. In the eighties through the nineties, he teamed with his friend, Timothy Lee Matthews, and they collaborated on Matthews' CD Songs for the Greats. Matthews, co-writer of the classic blues song, "Breaking Up Somebody's Home," called Lee the consummate "sideman", Lee's distinctive complementary rhythm and lead style can be heard on nine of the eleven songs on Matthews' CD. Larry lived in Memphis, TN and played in the regional rock/blues/R&B outfit "Elmo & the Shades".Larry was a member of Elmo and the Shades for eight years and was an integral part of their success during this period.The band enjoyed much popularity during this time playing nightclubs,casinos,parties,and occasional blues festivals throughout Memphis and the Mid-South.Larry Lee is featured on three cuts on the new CD(2009) by Elmo and The Shades ,"Blue Memphis".They are "Same Old Dog","I Get the Blues for Free", and the title cut "Blue Memphis". Larry took his leave from the group as his battle with cancer left him too weak to perform in August 2006. Larry was as soulful a blues singer and incredibly moving blues guitarist as Memphis, Beale St. and the world has ever seen. He also joined in with Mike Strickland and the Usual Unusual Clowns at random intervals.

Death Larry Lee died in Memphis, Tennessee on October 29, 2007 after a year battling stomach cancer, and was buried at 11 a.m. on November 6 in West Tennessee Veterans Cemetery. He left wife Carrie Lee, daughter April D. Lee and three sons - Lawrence H. Lee III, Robert A. Lee, and Thomas Lee. He was also survived by his mother, Lula Lee, and five grandchildren.

George Allen Miles, Jr. (September 5, 1947 – February 26, 2008), known as Buddy Miles, was an American rock and funk drummer, most known as a member of Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsys from 1969 through to January 1970.

Biography Early life George "Buddy" Miles was born in Omaha, Nebraska on September 5, 1947. He was known as a child prodigy, originally playing drums in his father, George Miles, Sr.'s, jazz band, The Bebops, beginning at age 12. Miles Sr. had played upright bass with Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon. In his teens Miles Jr. was often seen hanging out as well as recording at the Universal Promotions Corporation (U.P.C.) recording studios, which later became Rainbow Recording Studios[2] Miles was given the nickname "Buddy" by his aunt after the drummer Buddy Rich.

Early career Miles played in a variety of rhythm and blues and soul acts as a teenager, including Ruby & the Romantics, the Ink Spots, the Delfonics and Wilson Pickett. By 1967 he moved to Chicago where he formed the Electric Flag with guitarist Mike Bloomfield. Nick Gravenitis was the vocalist on this (and also some other Bloomfield LP's). The blues-soul-rock band made their live debut at the Monterey Pop Festival in mid 1967 and released their debut Columbia album, A Long Time Comin', early the next year (1968). Miles sometimes sang lead vocals for the group in addition to playing drums. The group broke up after their second album An American Music Band (late 1968) and Miles formed The Buddy Miles Express, with Jim McCarty, later the guitarist for Cactus. A Greatest Hits album by The Electric Flag was issued in 1971 by Columbia. In 1974 The Electric Flag reformed briefly and released the Atlantic album The Band Kept Playing.

Buddy Miles

Jimi Hendrix After Electric Flag, Miles would begin involvement with the rock legend Jimi Hendrix. Miles had met Jimi Hendrix in an earlier time when both were acting as sidemen for other artists in the early '60s. The meeting had occurred in Canada in 1964, at a show both were participating in. Miles said of his first meeting with Hendrix: "He was playing in the Isley Brothers band and I was in Ruby and the Romantics ... [Jimi] had his hair in a pony-tail with long sideburns. Even though he was shy I could tell this guy was different. He looked rather strange, because everyone else was wearing uniforms and he was eating his guitar, doing flip-flops and wearing chains."[3] This prefaced a later friendship that would result in varied collaborations between the two artists. In 1967, Hendrix and Miles jammed at the Malibu home of Stephen Stills, and went on to play together again at various times, in both Los Angeles and New York in 1968. Hendrix occasionally joined Electric Flag on stage. Soon after, Jimi Hendrix started opening his recording style to include guest artists. And in this mode Hendrix was working in, Buddy Miles quite naturally was invited to participate. Miles took part in the session recordings for Electric Ladyland, playing on the songs "Rainy Day, Dream Away" and "Still Raining, Still Dreaming". In 1969 an extremely busy Hendrix would somehow find time to produce the first two albums released by Buddy Miles' own band, Buddy Miles Express - Expressway To Your Skull and Electric Church. There was obvious public curiosity as to whether the name of the band "Buddy Miles Express" was influenced by Hendrix's act, "The Jimi Hendrix Experience". Soon after the release of the groundbreaking Electric Ladyland album, Noel Redding (original Experience bass player) and Mitch Mitchell (the Experience drummer) had both parted company with Hendrix, not least because of constant wrangling between Hendrix's manager (Michael Jeffery) and his producer (Alan Douglas), both vying for control of his career. Everyone wanted a piece of Hendrix's success. As Buddy Miles explained: "Jimi was not happy. He felt powerless. He couldn't do what he wanted to do."[4] . Hendrix's solution to the problem was to found a short-lived band called Band of Gypsys, and Miles was brought in to join him. One of the notable features for his audience at the time was the fact that all of the players were black. This was a first for Hendrix as an international recording star – although he had, of course, played with the Isley Brothers in his early days – and this choice reflected a move toward reconnecting with his soul roots. It also had the effect of re-associating rock with its African American roots. Originally it was a solo lp , but in the last ten years or so additional cuts from the concerts were released on a three piece cassette box. The band was based in New York City where Hendrix was spending the majority of his time. Hendrix, who was tangled in legal litigation concerning contracts he had signed prior to his becoming internationally recognized, was required to release a record to the Capitol Records label as part of the agreement in court. This fact led to the live recording of his collaboration with Buddy Miles and Billy Cox. However during a follow up performance a month later, Hendrix had a minor, drug-related meltdown on stage which has also been speculated to have been an act of sabotage on the part of a very frustrated manager Michael Jeffery, who was not a fan of the Band of Gypsys all-black line-up and strong R&B roots. Miles had this to say about the incident years later: "Jeffery slipped [Jimi] two half-tabs of acid on stage as he went on ... [Jimi] just freaked out. I told Jeffery he was an out-and-out complete idiot and a fucking asshole to boot. One of the biggest reasons why Jimi is dead is because of that guy."[4] Miles and Jeffery already had a strained relationship, as Jeffery was always uncomfortable with Hendrix and Miles' close friendship. After this performance at Madison Square Garden in January 1970, Jeffery fired Buddy Miles and the Band of Gypsys was no more. Miles continued to work with Hendrix during early and mid 1970 after the Jimi Hendrix Experience had failed to re-form to record. Miles would share recording studio drumming duties on songs "Room Full of Mirrors", "Izabella", "Ezy Ryder" and the first version of "Stepping Stone" (for which Mitchell played a final drum track). These songs

Buddy Miles have been released in several posthumous Hendrix albums.Ironically, the album Band of Gypsys — released in May 1970 — made the Top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic, and stayed in the US charts for over a year. Hendrix died in September 18, 1970, prompting the album to sell even better. There are now videos of Buddy and Randy Hansen covering several of Jimi's songs on a major website.

Post-Hendrix Buddy Miles went on to produce other records under his own name. A song he had written and recorded with the Band of Gypsys, "Them Changes" was again recorded by Miles with his own band on a release soon after Hendrix's passing on Mercury Records. Miles' former Band Of Gypsys sideman, Billy Cox, performed bass guitar on this track. By this time Miles had dropped the "Buddy Miles Express" act name and shortened it to just his own name. That band included bassist David Hull (who would go on to work with Joe Perry of Aerosmith) and guitarist Charlie Karp. The same band would release a live album entitled Live which again included his by now signature song, "Them Changes". In late 1968, they appeared in the Monkees television special 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee which aired in April 1969. In 1970, while recording the album We Got To Live Together Buddy Miles learned of the death of Hendrix, which he mentions on the inner cover of the album. Released in 1971, We Got To Live Together is produced by Buddy Miles and Robin McBride. It comprises 5 songs including the instrumental "Easy Greasy". High energy drumming with funky overtones and big horns make this album quintessential Buddy. The other cuts on the album are: "Runaway Child (Little Miss Nothin)", "Walking Down the Highway", "We Got To Live Together", "Take It Off Him and Put It On Me". All the songs were written by Buddy Miles with C.Karp except for "Take it Off...". Buddy also contributed to a number of Cheech and Chong songs. One was "Lost Due To Incompetence (Theme For A Big Green Van) 1978" from the film Up In Smoke. Buddy did an album with Adrian Gurvitz (from the Gun group) in 1973 called Chapter VII (this album has photos of Buddy and his family along with some shots of Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone). Buddy had major success with Them Changes, a soul and pop hit in 70-71. Miles would see the song released yet a fourth time on a collaborative live record he made with Carlos Santana. This particular version was particularly notable for its intense energy, horn lines and blazing guitar work supplied by a very young and energetic Santana. Miles would then go on to be signed by the '70s-'80s era record label, Casablanca Records, best known for their rock act KISS. Miles' work for the label included the excellent album released under his own name, Bicentennial Gathering Of The Tribes. It would include on its liner notes a quote from President John F Kennedy concerning the American Indians. That quote would include the line "When we neglect the heroic past of the American Indian, we thereby weaken our own heritage." This was interesting in relationship to his former friendship and collaborations with Jimi Hendrix who, in fact, had much American Indian blood in his family line. From 1994 - 1999 Buddy Miles formulated an excellent group in the N.Y.C./area featuring Charlie Torres on Bass Guitar and Vocals . Rod Kohn on Guitar and vocals . Kenn Moutenot on drums / vocals /management . Mark " Muggy Doo " Leach on Hammond B3 and Keyboards. They toured non stop in the United States and over seas with almost one thousand concerts and festivals to their credit. Buddy also composed and recorded many songs with this new version of " The Buddy Miles Express " that is yet to be released.It was Buddy's most enduring live band throughout his illustrious career. This popular touring line up lasted for six fruitful years together with the same members. Part of Miles' appeal as a rock musician was his physical appearance. He drew many stares and smiles as he held court from the drumset in the Electric Flag days, with his American flag or sequined shirts, his high-brushed Afro, and his massive frame and smile. Buddy was an eyeful for the hippies and concertgoers of the day. Once guitarist for the band SNAIL (Cream Records), JOHN ROCKER was guitarist for THE BUDDY MILES EXPRESS too for about 5 - 6 years as well touring throughout North America...

Buddy Miles

The Unknown Work of Buddy Miles - The Club Fed Sessions Perhaps the best work Buddy ever did was in collaboration with a team of musician/writers from Marin County, California in late 1984, early 1985. Buddy was in a halfway house in Oakland and commuted every day to the Ice House Studio in San Rafael, CA to work with Pat Craig of the Tazmanian Devils, David Jenkins of Pablo Cruise, Dave Carlson of Tazmanian Devils and other Marin musicians and songwriters including Bill Craig, Tony Marty, and Tony Saunders. The result was an album's worth of material written by Pat Craig, Buddy, David Jenkins, Robbie Long, Bill Craig and Tony Marty. First recorded as a demo at the Ice House, the project was moved to The Record Plant in Sausalito and Jim Gaines of Huey Lewis fame came in to take over production chores. The group produced over 15 songs ranging from funky soul to beautiful ballads, and featuring some of the best singing that Miles ever did. One cut, "When The Train Leaves the Station," featured solos by both Carlos Santana and Neil Schoen. The title song of the proposed album, "Anna", was a beautiful soul stirrer that helped Buddy land his next gig with California Raisins. While the album was being recorded, the Record Plant was taken over by the Federal Government when the owner was busted for drug trafficking. The musicians and employees working there began calling the studio "Club Fed" and that's how "The Club Fed Sessions" came to be. Unfortunately Buddy's reputation of inconsistency and problems with the law closed many doors for him and the album was never released. The Masters remain in the can in the hands of Buddy's former manager, but Pat Craig did manage to digitize some of the better mixes and has offered them from time to time on Ebay as a collector's item under the title "Buddy and Me.". Songs on the demo included "Anna," "Forever in a Moment," "Tonight," "Next to You," and "This Could Be An Everlasting Love." A short-lived band featuring Pat Craig, David Jenkins, Rick Quintanal, Tony Saunders and other Marin musicians played one gig in LA at a concert honoring Vietnam Veterans.

1980s-2000s In 1986 Miles performed vocals for the California Raisins claymation ad campaign, most n otably singing "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and was also lead vocals on two California Raisins albums featuring 1960's R&B covers. In 1986 and 1987, after spending the late 1970s and early 1980s incarcerated for theft, he also rejoined Carlos Santana as a vocalist on Santana's album Freedom. In 1996, he sat in with rock band Phish at Madison Square Garden. also in 1996 Miles did several dates with the NJ based blues band Rock'n Daddy, that also included former Tv Toy guitarist Bob "BIG BUD" solberg, drummer Paul "fergy" Ferguson, and bassist Phil "catfish" Endean, Through the late 1990s, Miles' charitable side was seen in his band's playing pro bono at several annual tribute concerts for local friend and fan Linda Gillespie, who had been killed in a car accident in the Spring of 1994 in Winthrop Harbor, IL. Buddy Miles was seen in the Hendrix-family-owned, official video release The Making of Electric Ladyland on Rhino Records. That video featured interviews with the majority of players who were involved in recording the legendary Hendrix album. Miles even went as far as to be video recorded playing his same drum tracks yet again in the studio to the original multi-track recordings of Hendrix. In 1999 Miles appeared on the late Bruce Cameron's album, Midnight Daydream that included other Hendrix alumni Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell along with Jack Bruce and others. In 2004 Miles reunited yet again with Billy Cox of the Band of Gypsys to re-record songs from the original live album of 1970 with guitarists Eric Gales, Kenny Olsen, Sheldon Reynolds, Andy Aledort, and Gary Serkin. The album, titled The Band Of Gypsys Return, was released in 2006. Until his death, Buddy Miles continued to be active musically and performed many shows with proceeds going to help support victims of natural disasters and other noble causes. Buddy Miles is credited on sessions with George Clinton/Parliament/Funkadelic. In 2005 Buddy Miles began collaborating with Florida based Guitar Virtuoso Tony Smotherman in which the two toured the Southeast with a Blues-Rock Band performing various pieces from Miles' Collaborations with Jimi Hendrix. Miles and Smotherman last performed at the Austin Convention Center at the 2007 Summer NAMM Show

Buddy Miles with Vernon Reid of Living Colour. Buddy Miles played his last live dates in 2007, on the West Coast of the United States with special assistance.Also in Texas with Lance Lopez & Collin freekin Keeton. He was forced to cancel the remaining dates because of heart problems.

Death Buddy Miles died on February 26, 2008, at his home in Austin, Texas at the age of 60. According to his website he died of congestive heart disease, although his publicist Duane Lee told the New York Times that Miles had been suffering recently from congestive heart failure. There was a history of congestive heart failure in his family. His sister and mother both died of the same illness. It is known that his heart had certainly been struggling, working at only 15%, and his health had been consistently deteriorating over the past few months. According to friends, "he had turned off his defibrillator and was ready for heaven."[5] There was no funeral; Miles was cremated. The day before Buddy died, he heard Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton playing 'Them Changes' at Madison Square Garden through his cell phone. 'Them Changes' is now part of Clapton's set on tour as a tribute to Buddy. The UK-based newspaper The Independent ran an almost full-page obituary for Buddy Miles in its Friday February 29, 2008 edition. The title for the piece was "Buddy Miles: Flamboyant Hendrix drummer", and can be found on page 47. Asked how he would like to be remembered by the American music magazine Seconds in 1995, Miles simply said: "The baddest of the bad. People say I'm the baddest drummer. If that's true, thank you world."[6] A memorial concert took place on March 30, 2008 at Threadgill’s on Riverside Drive, South Austin.

The original discography of Jimi Hendrix, an American hard rock guitarist and singer-songwriter, including The Jimi Hendrix Experience, consists of three studio albums, two live albums, two compilation albums and twelve singles. In September 1966, ex-Animals bassist Chas Chandler brought Hendrix from the United States to the United Kingdom, where an eponymous band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, was formed around him. Noel Redding joined as the band's bassist on 29 September and drummer Mitch Mitchell finalised the lineup on 6 October. The Experience's first record was a cover of Billy Roberts' "Hey Joe", released in the UK on 16 December, where it peaked at #6. The B-Side of that record was "Stone Free", written by Hendrix. "Purple Haze" and "The Wind Cries Mary", original Hendrix compositions, were subsequently released on 17 March and 5 May 1967 and reached #3 and #6 respectively, before the band's debut LP, Are You Experienced, was released on Track Records on 12 May. The album reached #2 in the UK and a version with a different track listing reached #5 in the US in the wake of the success of Hendrix's performance at the Monterey Pop Festival when released on Reprise Records in USA & Canada on August 23. "Hey Joe" and "Purple Haze" were also released in the States, the latter of which peaked at #65. The fourth single released by Hendrix was "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", which later appeared on The Experience's third album. The record, not released in North America, became the band's least successful single so far, reaching #18 in the UK. A Reprise single from Are You Experienced was released on 27 November; "Foxey Lady" managed only to reach #67, despite the success of Are You Experienced. Hendrix et al. were bound by their contract with Track to release at least two albums in 1967, thus Axis: Bold as Love was released on 1 December. The follow-up to the band's successful debut was well-received, peaking at #5 in the UK and #3 in the US upon its later release there on January 15, 1968. The only single released from Axis was a non-UK release; "Up from the Skies" reached #82 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The Experience's first compilation, Smash Hits, was released in the UK in April 1968, and reached #4 in the UK.

Jimi Hendrix discography On September 9 the band released the first single from their upcoming third album in the US; their now famous cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" became their highest-charting single in the States when it reached #20. The song was released in the UK after the album's North America release and peaked at #5. Contrary to Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love and Smash Hits, Electric Ladyland was released first in Hendrix's native country on September 30. Just over a week later, on 25 October, it was released in the UK with a different cover. The first album produced by Hendrix himself, Electric Ladyland became the band's first #1 album when it reached the top spot in the Billboard 200 chart. Despite this, the album was actually the least successful in England, where a version sporting a controversial alternate cover reached #6. A mail order-only compilation of two sides of the album, Electric Jimi Hendrix, was released by Track after Electric Ladyland, but was immediately withdrawn from sale. After the UK and international release of "All Along the Watchtower", "Crosstown Traffic" was released in the US on November 18, where it flopped at #52. The Experience began touring again in support of the new album, and a very different compilation of Smash Hits was later issued in North America on July 30, 1969, where it peaked at #6. Due to long-standing personal and musical differences, Redding left the band after they performed at the Denver Pop Festival on June 29, 1969. Jimi's old army friend Billy Cox was brought in as Redding's replacement, and with the addition of rhythm guitarist Larry Lee and percussionists Juma Sultan and Jerry Velez, Gypsy Sun and Rainbows was formed. The unfamiliar large unit played at the famous Woodstock Festival on August 18, but after a few studio sessions the band split. During this transitional phase, two more singles were released: firstly, "Stone Free" was released in North America on September 15 (and reached #130), followed by "Fire" (under the title "Let Me Light Your Fire") internationally on 14 November. Jimi and Cox enlisted the help of another old friend of Jimi's, drummer and vocalist Buddy Miles. Dubbing themselves the Band of Gypsys, the all-black trio performed together at only two venues. One of these venues was the Fillmore East, where the band's performances on December 31, 1969 and January 1, 1970 were recorded and later released as Band of Gypsys on March 25 and 12 June in the North America and internationally respectively. This live album reached #6 in the States and #5 in Britain, but by this time the Gypsys had already split up. The Band also released one single; "Stepping Stone" was issued by Reprise in the US on April 13, but did not chart. Mitch Mitchell returned to Hendrix and Cox and the 'new Jimi Hendrix Experience' was formed, now known unofficially, after the name of their 1970 tour, as The Cry of Love. This lineup remained until the guitarist's death, a run which resulted in many hours of studio recordings and a tour which ran for over three months. The last record issued before Hendrix's death was Historic Performances Recorded at the Monterey International Pop Festival on August 26 in the US, which partly documented The Experience's performance at the Monterey Pop Festival on June 18, 1967. Jimi Hendrix died on September 18, 1970.

Johnny B. Goode The Hendrix version of Johnny B. Goode was recorded live by the Jimi Hendrix Experience during the first show at Berkeley Community Theatre, California. It was first released on January 2, 1972 as a posthumous single only on Polydor, and outside of the USA and Canada. The B side was "Little Wing," recorded in concert at the Royal Albert Hall, London. This later caused a legal wrangle with Gold and Goldstein Productions who owned the soundtrack rights to this concert. In the UK it reached #35 in the charts. It was later released world wide on the chart LP Hendrix in the West.

Jimi Hendrix posthumous discography

Jimi Hendrix posthumous discography The following is a discography of posthumous releases by American musician Jimi Hendrix. After his death on September 18, 1970, work began immediately to compile new material for release. Hendrix left behind hundreds of complete and incomplete takes of songs, and it was left to engineer Eddie Kramer and drummer Mitch Mitchell to estimate his intentions for his next project. The first album released was The Cry of Love, named after the 1970 tour. This album, along with Rainbow Bridge, comprised the majority of what Kramer and Mitchell believed to be Hendrix's next studio album, though many more official releases followed, including controversially Alan Douglas-produced Crash Landing and Midnight Lightning. As well as the many licensed studio, live and compilation albums released after 1970, hundreds of unauthorised bootlegs consisting of amateur recorded live concerts and also, unfinished demos and outtakes have been released, the number of which is likely over one thousand. Despite this mass of material released, there are still items in various places, many of which is now owned by the family company Experience Hendrix, L.L.C., as yet unseen and unheard. Some of the tie-ups involve legal disputes or lost tapes, while others are simply being held by the company for release at intervals which they deem worthy according to their long-term plans. In 1997 the album First Rays of the New Rising Sun was released, containing all the songs that Kramer and Mitchell had wanted to include on The Cry of Love but couldn't, due to contractual obligations.

Axis: Bold as Love (1967)

US Cover

''Are You Experienced''

Are You Experienced is the debut album by English/American rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Released in 1967, it was the first LP for Track Records. The album highlighted Jimi Hendrix's R&B-based, psychedelic, distortion- and feedback-laden electric guitar playing, and launched him as a major new international star. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it #15 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album was an instant success and was the best-selling album in the United States in 1968. In 2005 Are You Experienced was selected for permanent preservation in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress in the United States.

Production Hendrix had formed the Jimi Hendrix Experience in England in 1966, with Mitch Mitchell on drums and Noel Redding on bass, and had signed with Track Records, newly formed by The Who's managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp. The band had recorded three singles produced by Chas Chandler: "Hey Joe"/"Stone Free" (December 1966 released through Polydor Records because Track was not yet operational), "Purple Haze"/"51st Anniversary" (March 1967, the first release by the new Track Records label, on a special white label) and "The Wind Cries Mary"/"Highway Chile" (May 1967). All three reached the Top 10 in the UK. During the making of these singles, the Jimi Hendrix Experience also cut the tracks that became their debut album, which Chandler also produced with the Olympic Studios engineer Eddie Kramer (some tracks were recorded with engineers Dave Siddle at De Lane Lea and Mike Ross at CBS studios).

Release Released in the United Kingdom in May 1967 without the three singles, as was the custom in the UK at that time, the album reached number two in the UK, behind The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Album cover In Europe this LP was released by three different companies: the new "independent" Track Records, which produced the original cover with a picture by Bruce Fleming; the independent Barclay Records in France, which produced a completely different cover featuring a photo of Hendrix performing on a recent French TV show, surrounded by "psychedelic" painted, swirling graphics; and Polydor in Germany, Italy, and Spain. In Germany, Polydor used the original Track Records cover but added "Jimi Hendrix" in similar lime green text above the white Are You Experienced logos on the front; in Italy this added text was red, while in Spain it was yellow. These latter releases featured "fake" stereo, processed from mono. The back cover had a track list added. Barclay Records of France added final punctuation to the album title: Are You Experienced?. Some tracklists of the album also add the question mark to the title track.[6] The South African Polydor release (due to the apartheid racial barrier, and that the main customer base was seen to be "whites") had no pictures, only text on a plain red background (mono only). Japan, Australia and New Zealand Polydor (mono only) copies used the original UK layout.

''Are You Experienced''

The Reprise American & Canadian compilation release It was only after the band's show-stealing performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in June of that year that his American and Canadian label Reprise Records prepared the album for release, but with some significant changes. The UK cover was abandoned, and a more psychedelic design was devised by photographer Karl Ferris (whose group portraits appeared on all three the band's US album covers). This is the cover image that most people are familiar with: the fish-eye, infrared color film photograph. Secondly, and more crucially, "Red House", "Can You See Me" and "Remember" were all removed in order to make way for the three UK hit singles, with the running order being shuffled in the process. This time the running order was selected by Hendrix himself, but "Red House" was excluded from the album against his wishes. He was told that the US and Latin America did "not like the blues". This selection of tracks was also remixed into stereo. In August, the US version of Are You Experienced saw issue in both the original mono mix and the new stereo mix and became a strong and enduring seller. Indeed, Hendrix's own follow-up, Axis: Bold as Love, out that December in the UK, had to be detained for six weeks due to his debut's stellar sales (and it still wouldn't reach its peak of #5 until October 1968).

The CD releases The original Reprise (USA/Canada) CD was originally identical to their original stereo LP version, whereas the European CD release used the original UK track list, but replaced with the Reprise stereo re-mix versions (except for the original mono version of 'Red House', which has never been mixed into stereo and 'Remember', which used the mono version, but processed to "sound stereo"). The 1993 Alan Douglas re-release (MCA 10893) had a chronological track list, starting with the first three UK singles A and B sides replaced by the Reprise stereo mixes (except for "Stone Free", "51st Anniversary", and "Highway Chile") and followed by the original track list of the UK LP. The version of "Red House" included on this CD edition was the same as that originally included on the US LP "Smash Hits" in 1969, and different from the version of "Red House" present on the original Track UK LP. That original Track UK LP version can be heard on the CD "Jimi Hendrix: Blues." It might also be noted that at the end of the version of Red House on the original UK Track LP, a bit of studio dialogue between Hendrix and Chas Chandler can be heard, and that on the "Blues" CD, only a snippet of Hendrix speaking from the beginning of the dialog can be heard. After Jimi's father, Al Hendrix, won back the rights to his son's musical catalogue, Are You Experienced was again re-issued in 1997 (MCA 11602) and 2010, now under Sony Music Entertainment worldwide, preserving the UK and US versions in their respective territories and including the extra tracks missing from the respective editions and restoring the original mono version of "Red House" (minus the dialogue at the end). This new re-mastering was marred by audible crackles through the stereo panning on "Can You See Me", and also, more seriously, on the CD release, by heavy clipping throughout; the vinyl LP release doesn't suffer from the clipping.[7] The current 2010 release only differs slightly, with minor tweaks in the sound with the help from Hendrix's original sound engineer Eddie Kramer.

Reception Are You Experienced has been cited as one of the greatest debut albums of the rock era. The TV channel VH1 named it the fifth greatest album of all time in 2001. In 2003, the US version of the album was ranked number 15 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, having been ranked as number 5 in their twentieth anniversary listing The Best Albums of the Last Twenty Years published in 1987. Guitarist magazine named the album number one on their list of "the most influential guitar albums of all time" in 1994[8] and Mojo magazine similarly listed it as the greatest guitar album of all time in 2003.[9] Creem magazine named the album number six on the Top Ten Metal Albums Of The 60s.[10] Vibe (12/99, p. 156) included it in its list of 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience chronology Are You Experienced (1967)

Axis: Bold as Love (1967)

Smash Hits (1968)

Axis: Bold as Love is the second studio album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Under pressure from their record company to follow-up the successful debut of their May 1967 album Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love was released on Track Records in the UK in December 1967. It reached #5 in the UK and later, #3 in the US.[6] The album was recorded to fulfill the band's contract, which stated that they must produce two albums in 1967. Even so, it was not released in the USA until 1968 due to fears that it might have disturbed the sales of the first album.[7] Bassist Noel Redding has noted that this was his favourite of three Experience albums. He plays eight string bass on some tracks.[7]

''Axis: Bold as Love''| Just before the album's completion, Hendrix left the master tapes of side 1 in a taxi. They were never found again, and thus the A-side had to be mixed again quickly.[7] The album was re-released on the week of March 30, 2010. Like the other 2010 re-releases, the sound varies slightly with minor tweaks from Hendrix's sound engineer Eddie Kramer.

Legacy • In 2003, the album was ranked #82 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. • The album is included in the book '1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die'. • Guitarist magazine named the album #7 on their list of "the most influential guitar albums of all time".[8]

Music Many of the album's songs were composed with studio recording techniques in mind and as a result were rarely performed live. Only 'Spanish Castle Magic' and 'Little Wing' were performed regularly.[7] The lyrics of "Spanish Castle Magic" were inspired by 'The Spanish Castle', a dance hall in what is now Des Moines, Washington near Seattle where Hendrix jammed with local rock groups during his high school years. On 'Little Wing' Hendrix plays his guitar through a Leslie speaker (a revolving speaker which creates a wavering effect, that is typically used with electric organs) for the first time. The intro track, "EXP", begins with a few notes from 'Stone Free' (although played one-half step down) and then features a conversation between Mitchell and Hendrix about UFOs, where Mitchell plays a radio host, and Hendrix plays an outerspace alien in the guise of a human named Mr. Paul Caruso, whose voice is gradually slowed down until he eventually takes off in his spaceship, much to the host's consternation ("But-but-but", he splutters). Paul Caruso was actually a friend of Jimi's from his days in Greenwich Village. 'Up From the Skies' is a jazzy number featuring Mitchell playing with brushes. The song is about a space alien who has visited the earth thousands of years in the past, and returns to the present to "find the stars misplaced and the smell of a world, that has burned." "Wait Until Tomorrow" is a pop-song with an R&B guitar riff with Mitchell and Redding singing backing vocals. The fourth track, 'Ain't No Telling', is a rock song with a complex structure despite its short length. 'Little Wing', as Jimi himself said, was his impression of the Monterey Pop Festival put into the form of a girl. 'If 6 Was 9', the last song on side one, is the album's longest track and arguably the most psychedelic; Gary Leeds (from The Walker Brothers) and Graham Nash use their feet during the outro to make some stomping. The song features prominently on the soundtrack for the 1969 counterculture film, 'Easy Rider',as well as the Vietnam 'flashback' film "Apocalypse Now" during the chaotic battle scene at the bridge. "You Got Me Floatin", a rock song opening with a swirling backwards guitar solo (which is absent on the mysterious, differently mixed Polydor version of this LP (only available in stereo), which outside of France & UK was the only one available in Europe), opens the second side of the album. Roy Wood and Trevor Burton from The Move, who toured with Hendrix on a package tour through Britain during winter 1967, supplied background vocals. The following track, 'Castles Made of Sand', is a ballad also making use of a backwards guitar solo. 'She's so Fine', Redding's contribution to the album as a composer, a very British Pop/Rock/Who influenced affair features Redding on lead vocals with help from Mitchell. 'One Rainy Wish' begins as a ballad but develops a rock feel during the chorus that is in a different time signature than the verses. The song 'Little Miss Lover' was the first to feature a percussive muted wah-wah effect (with the fretboard hand "killing" notes) - a technique that was later adopted by many guitarists. The final song of the album, Bold as Love, opens very abruptly and segues into a mellow groove similar to Little Wing and Castles Made of Sand. With a psychedelic chorus and an extended solo at the end it fades out the album.

Album cover Hendrix was a little disappointed with the album's cover art. Although he appreciated the symbolic design, he mentioned in an interview that it would have been more appropriate if the cover art showcased his American "Indian" heritage. The British Track records art department had independently chosen to use the current fad for all things Indian to create the cover, and thus the album's cover has a photographed copy of a mass produced religious poster of the Hindu devotional painting known as Viraat Purushan-Vishnuroopam with a small, superimposed painting of the group by Roger Law. (from a photo portrait by Karl Ferris) blended in.[9] In November a giant B&W blow up of the fantastic day-glo pink, orange & blue offset litho print over gold foil, Haphash/Osiris poster featuring Hendrix dressed as a Native American, wearing a feathered War Bonnet, was used as a background to his appearance on 'Hoepla', a controversial Dutch TV show. This poster, although produced later in London, and supposedly commissioned by Hendrix has text along the top to make it appear as if it was an original poster, advertising his (post Monterey) 1967 Fillmore concerts, this design was possibly what he had in mind. The original prints of this poster are probably all in collections, and later copies which have surfaced fetch high prices at auction. The original Track UK issue came in a gatefold sleeve with a large B&W portrait photo of the group by Donald Silverstein spread over the inside and an orange sheet insert with overprinted lyrics in red, the allegedly high cost of this packaging was a topic of note in the music press. The USA issue had no insert and instead of the group photo inside, had the lyrics. In Europe, the Polydor issue had no lyrics and stuck an inch wide white border round the inside portrait, while the French dispensed with the original cover entirely and put it in a single sleeve with a photo of the group taken from a recent French TV show on the front.

The last recording by Jimi Hendrix to have a dedicated mono mix, Axis was only released in the UK and the US. The album was released in stereo world wide. The Polydor re-release mysteriously had a different stereo mix from that originally released in UK, France, US and the rest of the world. This mix was more mono-compatible but omitted all the stereo panning of the initial release. It first appeared on a Backtrack budget LP release but before long replaced the original mix on all reissues and re-pressings, including the first UK CD. This may have been a simple confusion over which tape in Polydor's library was sent to the mastering facility. Later CD reissues (without the Vishnu cover) have reverted to the original mix.

Covers "Little Wing" has become one of Hendrix's best-known songs. It was covered three years after its initial release by Eric Clapton's short lived band, Derek and the Dominos. The song was also popularized as an instrumental rock song by Stevie Ray Vaughan. Kirk Hammett of Metallica covered the song on live performances, Skid Row (not the original group of that name) released a live version of it on their EP B-Side Ourselves, and Sting included a Gil Evans arranged version of the song on his ...Nothing Like the Sun album. Irish band The Corrs also recorded a cover of the song on their album Talk On Corners and on their Unplugged album. It was also covered by young American singer/songwriter John Mayer. It also appeared on the album G3 Live: Rockin' in the Free World, namely by Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen. The song also made the leap into the world of jazz on several occasions, most notably by celebrated composer, arranger and conductor Gil Evans, as well as by Lew Soloff (of Blood, Sweat and Tears fame) on the album entitled "Little Wing". Another notable musician who has covered a song from Axis: Bold as Love is Brian May who covered "One Rainy Wish" on his Another World album. John Mayer covered "Wait Until Tomorrow" on Try! and "Bold as Love" on Continuum. New York Rock & Roll Ensemble also covered "Wait Until Tomorrow." Joan Osborne also covered "Bold as Love" on How Sweet It Is. The Pretenders also covered "Bold as Love" on the 1993 Hendrix tribute album Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Todd Rundgren also covered one of Jimi's songs, "If 6 Was 9", on his album Faithful, with Tori Amos covering the same song on the limited edition version of her CD Single Cornflake Girl. Wolfmother is also known to have covered it as well. (A7281CDX). The Red Hot Chili Peppers recorded covers of "Little Miss Lover" and "Castles Made of Sand" for possible inclusion on their album 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik'. They were later released as bonus tracks on the iTunes re-release of the album. A live version of "Castles Made of Sand" was originally released on the Unbridled Funk N Roll 4 Your Soul (Taste The Pain) EP in 1989, and later on the compilation 'Out in LA' and appeared remastered on the re-release of their album Mother's Milk. Pearl Jam has covered "Little Wing", which is featured on their 2007 release, "Live at the Gorge 05/06". Phish has also covered some of Jimi's songs, including "Bold as Love", on live CDs and concerts.

''Axis: Bold as Love''| Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil covered "Wait Until Tomorrow" on their album Tropicalia 25. "Spanish Castle Magic" has also been covered by Carlos Santana and appears on the album "Power of Soul: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix". PM Dawn covered "You Got Me Floatin'", also on the 1993 Hendrix tribute album Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Tuck and Patti covered Little Wing and Castles Made of Sand on their album Love Warriors. "Castles Made of Sand" was covered by singer-songwriter Vance Gilbert on his album Angels Castles Covers.

Electric Jimi Hendrix (1968)

Electric Ladyland is the third and final album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, released in September of 1968 on Reprise Records. Produced and directed by Jimi Hendrix, the album is viewed by some as the peak of Hendrix's mastery of the electric guitar. Electric Ladyland is the last album released as the Jimi Hendrix Experience as well as the last Hendrix studio album professionally produced under his supervision. After Electric Ladyland, Hendrix spent the remaining two years of his life organizing a new band, touring, and recording new songs. The controversial original UK album cover photograph was of a group of nude women, which was soon replaced by a more modest fiery portrait of Hendrix singing. Released as a double album, Electric Ladyland is a cross-section of Hendrix's wide range of musical talent. It includes examples of several genres and styles of music, including the psychedelic "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" (previously a UK single in the summer of 1967), the extended blues jam "Voodoo Chile", the New Orleans-style R&B of Earl King's "Come On", the epic studio production of "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)", the Marvin Gaye-like social commentary of "House Burning Down," and the Noel Redding composition "Little Miss Strange." The album also features a avant garde reworking of the Bob Dylan classic "All Along the Watchtower," which has been well received by critics as well as by Dylan himself,[1] as well as "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", a staple of both radio and guitar repertoire. In 2003, the album was ranked number 54 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

''Electric Ladyland''

Recording and Production The album was released at an important juncture of his career. In 1967 he had upstaged the guitar-smashing Who at Monterey Pop Festival by setting fire to his Fender, in January 1968 he released Axis Bold As Love, and a year later in 1969 he was immortalized at Woodstock. Booked as a supporting act for the Monkees in 1968, Hendrix was thrown off the tour for his outrageous on-stage performance. After a troubled tour of Scandinavia, a brief period of recordings for Electric Ladyland at Olympic studios in London, England and a prestigious concert at the Paris Olympia, Hendrix moved back to the states for the start of his first proper tour there. Three months later he began work on the LP at engineer Gary Kellgren and Chris Stone's newly opened Record Plant Studios which was situated close to his favorite clubs. It was recorded by Jimi's favorite engineers Eddie Kramer and Gary Kellgren. Despite a claim by Chris Stone that Kellgren engineered "90%" of it, the studio records show that most of the work was done by Kramer, only two tracks by Hendrix and Redding's one having Kellgren as engineer (although he was engineer on some of the later mixing sessions and worked together with Eddie on the final mix of the album).[2] . During the recording of the album Hendrix fell out with producer Chas Chandler and bassist Noel Redding. With a hectic tour schedule and also trying to record a masterpiece, Hendrix still wanted to have a life, so he combined work with pleasure by inviting his friends and acquaintances to the studio. Chas Chandler hated spending so much time in the studio and partly blamed it on these guests[3] , but Jimi was determined to have his way. So, his regular producer, manager and mentor Chas Chandler eventually quit in May 1968. Chandler later complained that Hendrix's insistence on doing multiple takes of every song, combined with what he saw as Hendrix's drugged incoherence, led him to sell his share of the management company to his partner Michael Jeffery. Hendrix went on to produce his most successful LP himself[4] and several very successful tours, mostly sold out. Hendrix's studio perfectionism was legendary – he and Mitchell recorded well over 50 takes of "Gypsy Eyes" over three sessions[5] – and he was always insecure about his voice often recording his vocals hidden behind studio screens. Hendrix sings all the backing vocals himself on the title track and on "Long Hot Summer Night". He was said to be very happy with the vocal results on "Have You Ever Been".[6] Despite having to go back on tour before the album was finished, many of the album tracks show Hendrix's vision expanding far beyond the scope of the original trio and saw him collaborating with a range of outside musicians including Dave Mason, Chris Wood and Steve Winwood from Traffic; future Band of Gypsys drummer Buddy Miles; Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady; and former Dylan organist Al Kooper. Co-operation between Hendrix and bassist Noel Redding (who was of the same opinion about time spent in the studio as Chandler)[7] was strained during production. Hendrix plays bass tracks (on a right-handed bass guitar) on many tracks including the bass solo parts on "1983".[8] Sometimes Hendrix recorded bass tracks just in order to make things go on faster. Redding plays acoustic guitar and sings lead vocals with Mitchell on his own track, "Little Miss Strange."

Electric Ladyland was first released in the U.S. in September 1968 and became a massive hit; it was Hendrix's only #1 album. The UK edition reached #6 on its release amid considerable controversy. A letter Hendrix wrote to Reprise described exactly what he wanted for the cover, but it was mostly ignored. He expressly asked for a color photo by Linda Eastman of the group sitting with children on a sculpture from Alice in Wonderland in Central Park, NY,[15] even drawing a picture of it for reference. The company instead used a blurred red & yellow photo of his head, taken by Karl Ferris. Track Records had its own art department, which produced a cover depicting 19 nude women lounging in front of a black background.[16] The original UK & German CD release from the 1980s features the UK artwork cover, while the Allan Douglas' re-master CD issue features the U.S. version by Ferris, which has since become the official worldwide cover of Electric Ladyland. The company Experience Hendrix, which owns the rights to the album and most of Hendrix's catalog, has stated that the original UK nudes cover will not be used any longer, since Hendrix himself did not like it; nonetheless Hendrix's own choice, the Eastman photo, is still ignored. A dispute nearly occurred over the album's title. In the final stages of production, a studio technician renamed the album "Electric Landlady."[17] The album was almost released under this official title until Hendrix noticed the error, which upset him considerably. Kirsty MacColl later used this alternate title for an album of her own. In 2005 Q magazine readers voted Electric Ladyland the 38th greatest album of all time; in 2003 the TV network VH1 placed it at number 72. In 2003, Rolling Stone declared it the 54th greatest album of all time. The album is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Also, The Source magazine ranked it #40 on their Critics Top 100 Black Music Albums of All Time list in 2006.[18]

Notes As was common with some multi-LP albums, sides one and four were pressed back to back on the same platter, likewise sides two and three. This was called "auto-coupling" or "automatic sequence" and was intended to make it easier to play through the entire album in sequence on automatic record-changers. In this case it has led to some CD releases of Electric Ladyland that have the sides in the incorrect one-four-two-three order. (e.g. "Voodoo Chile" followed by "Still Raining, Still Dreaming")

Despite the different track lengths and listings, both album releases are exactly the same in total length. The U.S. cassette version also has an alternate track listing, with Side One and Three on Side One with a running time of 39:29, and Side Two and Four on Side Two with a running time of 38:16, this was done to keep both tape sides as equal in length as possible with as little blank space at the end. On the original LP version, "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)" is 13:39 and "Moon, Turn the Tides... Gently, Gently Away" is 1:01, the total being 14:40. On the Nudes version, "1983" is 4:49 while "Moon, Turn the Tides" is 9:54, the total being 14:43, just three seconds longer than the original. Both song structures stay virtually the same but the break in tracks is different.

The Cry of Love (1971)

Experience (1971)

The Cry of Love is a posthumous fourth studio album by American musician Jimi Hendrix, released on March 5, 1971. It was the first Hendrix album released after his death and was engineered, mixed and compiled by Eddie Kramer and Mitch Mitchell. Album cover illustration by Nancy Reiner.

Overview The pairing of The Cry of Love with Rainbow Bridge comprises the bulk of the most complete tracks that Hendrix was intending to release on his next (double) LP, initially titled First Rays of the New Rising Sun but his last word on this had Strate Ahead [sic] as the title and as per the title of one of the last songs he recorded. All songs on the album were written by Hendrix and recorded from late December 1969 to summer 1970, except surprise addition "My Friend". Hendrix' friend Paul Caruso (mistakenly listed as a fictitious 'Gers' on the L.P.) plays harmonica on "My Friend".[4] [5] Mitchell and Kramer's involvement gave the album credibility, and it was well received by fans and critics alike. The album managed to reach #3 in the U.S. and #2 in the UK, and was regarded as the most accurate approximation of Hendrix's final album until First Rays of the New Rising Sun was released in 1997. "Freedom" b/w "Angel" was released as a single in the U.S., but only reached #59. In the UK, "Angel" b/w "Night Bird Flying" was the single released, though it did not manage to enter the charts. Remastered versions of all of the songs from The

Cry of Love are featured on the 1997 compilation First Rays of the New Rising Sun. The song "My Friend" was recorded during the early stages of the Electric Ladyland sessions in 1968. "Belly Button Window", was Jimi's last studio recording with vocals. It was recorded at Electric Lady Studios on August 22, 1970.

Rainbow Bridge is a posthumous fifth studio album by American guitarist Jimi Hendrix, released in October and November 1971 in the United States and the United Kingdom respectively. It was the second Hendrix studio album released after his death and was engineered, mixed and compiled by Eddie Kramer, John Jansen and Mitch Mitchell. It has never been released on compact disc.

Overview The pairing of Rainbow Bridge with The Cry of Love comprises the bulk of the most complete tracks that Hendrix was intending to release on his next (double) LP, First Rays of the New Rising Sun. All songs on the album were written by Hendrix, except the cover of "The Star-Spangled Banner", and recorded throughout 1969 and 1970, with the exception of "Look Over Yonder", which was recorded in 1968. "Hear My Train A Comin'" was recorded live at the Berkeley Community Theatre on May 30, 1970 (1st show). The album was the second to be produced by Kramer and Mitchell, with the help of Jansen, and was again fairly well received, reaching #15 and #16 in the U.S. and the UK respectively. "Dolly Dagger" b/w "Star Spangled Banner" was released as a single in the U.S., but only reached #74. Four songs from Rainbow Bridge are featured on the 1997 compilation First Rays of the New Rising Sun. Two songs are featured on another 1997 compilation South Saturn Delta. The (studio) version of "The Star Spangled Banner" can be found in the 2000 box set The Jimi Hendrix Experience (Box set). Though misconstrued to be a live

This alternate mix only appears very briefly in the movie and has not seen release elsewhere, bootleg or official, and is still in the Hendrix tape archive. • "Beginnings" (Recorded July, 1970 at Electric Lady Studios.) Released on 1972's posthumous release, "War Heroes" and 1997 Experience Hendrix compilation "First Rays of the New Rising Sun". An alternate take was later erased of the original backing tracks and replaced with session musicians for use on the second Alan Douglas/Hendrix release Midnight Lightning.

Loose Ends is a posthumous seventh studio album by American guitarist Jimi Hendrix, released in February 1974 in the United Kingdom. It was the fourth and last Hendrix studio album released after his death by manager Michael Jeffery. The album features a collection of outtakes and jams, with the exception of "The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice" which is the sole authorized track by Hendrix (the stereo mix was used on this LP). It was engineered, mixed and compiled by John Jansen. (Additional engineering: Eddie Kramer, Dave Palmer, Kim King, Gary Kellgren, Jack Adams, Tom Flye, Jim Robinson). John Jansen refused to have his name listed on the LP's credits and used the pseudonym "Alex Trevor" on the records sleeve instead. Warner Bros. (Jimi Hendrix' label at the time), refused to issue this release in the US & Canada due to the sub-par material on it. The UK, French and Japan pressings all had different covers. This release was also repackaged in 1983 under the name The Jimi Hendrix Album on LP & cassette.

Jimi Hendrix chronology Loose Ends (1974)

Crash Landing (1975)

Midnight Lightning (1975)

Crash Landing was the eighth studio album by American guitarist Jimi Hendrix, released in March and August 1975 in the United States and the United Kingdom respectively. It was the fifth Hendrix studio album released after his death and was the first to be produced by Alan Douglas. Before Hendrix died in 1970, he was in the final stages of preparing what he intended to be a double studio LP, tentatively titled First Ray of the New Rising Sun. Most of the tracks intended for this LP were spread out over three posthumous single LP releases: The Cry of Love (1971), Rainbow Bridge (1971), and War Heroes (1972). In the case of last two of these LP's, a demo track, a live track, & unreleased studio tracks were used to fill out the releases. In late 1973, his International label prepared to issue an LP titled Loose Ends which contained eight tracks, six of which were generally regarded as incomplete or substandard (the only two "finished" tracks on this release were "The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice", a B-side which had been released in 1969 on the European and Japanese versions of the Smash Hits, and a cover of Bob Dylan's "The Drifter's Escape", both of which would ultimately be re-released on the South Saturn Delta CD in 1997). Loose Ends was not released in the USA by Reprise because they considered the quality of the tracks to be subpar . Hendrix had amassed a lot of time in the studio in 1969 and 1970, resulting in a substantial amount of songs, some close to completion, that were available for potential release. After the death of Hendrix' manager in 1973, Alan

Douglas was hired to evaluate hundreds of hours of remaining material that was not used on earlier posthumous albums. Except for "Stone Free Again", which was an April 1969 re-recording of "Stone Free" with the original Jimi Hendrix Experience line up, the material used on Crash Landing consisted of recordings Hendrix originally made with Billy Cox on bass and either Mitch Mitchell or Buddy Miles on drums.

Controversy Crash Landing was the first release produced by Douglas, and immediately caused controversy. The liner notes of the album indicated that Douglas used several session musicians, none of whom had ever even met Hendrix, to re-record or overdub guitar, bass, drums, and percussion on the album, erasing the contributions of the original musicians and changing the feel of the songs (Hendrix' vocals and guitar contributions were retained). This was evidently done to give a finish to songs that were works in progress or may have been recorded as demos. Douglas also added female backing vocals to the title track. Fans and critics were also chagrined to learn that Douglas credited himself as co-writer of five of the eight songs on the album. Despite all this, the album peaked at #5 in the U.S. and #35 in the UK, the highest chart positions since The Cry of Love.

Other appearances of songs Some of the tracks on Crash Landing had appeared on previous Hendrix albums. "Message to Love" and "With the Power" were on the original 6-song Band of Gypsys album recorded at the Fillmore East on New Year's Eve of 1969/70 (the latter was listed under the title "Power to Love") released in early 1970. "Message to Love" was recorded in two sessions on December 1969 and January 1970. Besides its appearance on Crash Landing, "Message to Love" was re-released on Douglas' 1995 compilation Voodoo Soup, along with the instrumental track "Peace in Mississippi". The 1997 compilation South Saturn Delta contained an extended, reworked version of "Message to Love" entitled "Message to the Universe" as well as a longer version of "With the Power"/"Power of Soul". "Somewhere" was recorded in March 1968 prior to the sessions for Electric Ladyland. "Come Down Hard On Me" is a slightly re-worked version of the same song that originally appeared on Loose Ends in 1974. This song was recorded in July, 1970 and mixed by Hendrix and engineer Eddie Kramer in August. "Stone Free Again" was recorded in April 1969 by the original Jimi Hendrix Experience line-up two months before Noel Redding's departure. It was intended for release as a possible single in the U.S. but was shelved when the original version of the song was included on Smash Hits that summer. "Message to Love", "Somewhere", "Come Down Hard on Me", and "Stone Free (Again)" were included on The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set from 2000 with the original musicians restored.

Captain Coconut is actually a composite of three separate pieces of music that had nothing to do with each other. Engineer John Jansen was going through the Hendrix catalogue to find music to be used in the film "Rainbow Bridge". He merged these three pieces of music together, and it was put into the vaults, until Alan Douglas came upon it in 1975 and named it "Captain Coconut" for use on this release. It is not called "MLK", those were just three stray markings on the original tape box.

Jimi Hendrix chronology Crash Landing (1975)

Midnight Lightning (1975)

Re-Experienced (1975)

Midnight Lightning is a posthumous ninth studio album by American guitarist Jimi Hendrix, released in November 1975. It was the sixth Hendrix studio album released after his death and the second to be produced by Alan Douglas. The songs used on the album consisted of post-Jimi Hendrix Experience recordings that originally featured Billy Cox on bass and either Mitch Mitchell or Buddy Miles on drums. Douglas continued his controversial methods he had adopted on Crash Landing and brought in many of the same session musicians to overdub parts of songs. The only original recording (apart from those by Hendrix) was Mitch Mitchell's drumming on "Hear My Train A Comin'". In response to the previous outcry from fans and critics, Douglas did not claim co-writer credit for any songs on Midnight Lightning. Despite the fact that the album included staples such as "Hear My Train A Comin'" and "Machine Gun", the album was not as well received as its predecessor, peaking at #43 in the U.S. and #46 in the UK.

''Midnight Lightning''

Other appearances of songs Like Crash Landing, the origin of the songs used for Midnight Lightning is somewhat murky. The track "Midnight Lightning" appears to date from 1970. A live version of the song was recorded at the Isle of Wight Festival in August of that year and is available on the soundtrack CD. "Hear My Train A Comin'" is a blues song written by Hendrix that dates from 1967. An acoustic version of the song appeared on Sound Track Recordings from the Film Jimi Hendrix which was the companion album to a 1973 documentary film. Hendrix performed the song at Woodstock and at a series of concerts in 1969/70 at the Fillmore East with the Band of Gypsys. Another live version was recorded on May 30, 1970, at the Berkeley Community Theater, and was later released on the 1971 Rainbow Bridge LP. The 1967 acoustic version and live 1970 version from Berkeley also appear on the 1994 compilation Blues. While Hendrix likely recorded studio versions of "Hear My Train A Comin'", specific information about the track that appears on Midnight Lightning is unclear, though a studio version from February 1969 is included on the The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set from 2000. "Gypsy Boy" likely dates from 1970 and is similar to the song "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)" from Rainbow Bridge, although it is over two minutes shorter in length. "Blue Suede Shoes" appears to use the basic track from January 1970 that was used on the 1974 album Loose Ends. However, the version from Midnight Lightning is presented as a completed track, whereas on Loose Ends (the song is preceded by some studio chat from Hendrix, instructing drummer Buddy Miles how he wants the drums to be played!), fades out shortly after it begins. The complete version of the song is over 11 minutes long, which included a harmonica player. "Machine Gun" was an anti-war song that Hendrix wrote in 1969. He played elements of the song at Woodstock that August and debuted a proper version in September on The Dick Cavett Show. The song was regularly performed by Hendrix in concerts for the next year up until his death. It is not clear if this version of "Machine Gun" is based on a legitimate studio recording, a demo tape, or a live performance, since no other studio version of the song has ever been released. Little information also exists about "Once I Had a Woman", as it was not one of the songs identified by Hendrix as a candidate for his intended next album First Ray of the New Rising Sun. A longer, slower version of this song was also included on Blues, though it is unclear if this is an extended version of the Midnight Lightning track (without backing vocals and some of the instruments added in 1975) or a completely separate take. "Beginnings" is an instrumental track composed by Mitch Mitchell which is similar to the track of the same name from the posthumous 1972 War Heroes album.

Nine to the Universe is a posthumous tenth studio album by American guitarist Jimi Hendrix, released in March and June 1980 in the United States and the United Kingdom respectively. It was the seventh Hendrix studio album released after his death and the third to be produced by Alan Douglas. Unlike with Crash Landing and Midnight Lightning, Douglas did not bring in session musicians to overdub instrumental parts of songs, and only one part - backing vocals by Devon Wilson on "Message from Nine to the Universe" - was wiped from the original recordings. The unedited versions of "Jimi/Jimmy Jam" and "Drone Blues" were featured on the 2004 Dagger Records release Hear My Music.

Background The majority of the tracks featured on Valleys of Neptune were recorded in early 1969, while Hendrix was experimenting with songs for his unfinished fourth album, following the successful release of Electric Ladyland in September 1968. Numerous different versions have been released, both officially and otherwise, and the majority of the 'previously unreleased' recordings present on the 2010 album have been released in one form or another before, albeit sometimes in inferior quality or different versions.

Writing for music website MusicRadar.com, critic Joe Bosso compiled a track-by-track review of Valleys of Neptune, an album in the whole that he described as "one of the best albums of 2010".[7] Ludovic Hunter-Tilney in the Financial Times was equally positive, awarding the album a four-star (of a maximum five) rating and describing it as "a cut above the many posthumous cash-ins released in [Hendrix's] name."[8] Ann Powers in the Los Angeles Times awarded the album "Two and a half stars (Out of four)", summarising her review by saying: "Fans will be fascinated by these bluesy riffs with the Experience, but this album of unreleased material from the archives doesn't convey much that was unknown."[9]

Album artwork The album artwork is based on a painting by Hendrix himself in 1957. "He went through a phase doing watercolors at school and this was one of the 110 drawings of his that our father kept. When I saw this one he did in 1957, it screamed 'Valleys of Neptune' to me so we knew we'd use it for this project," said his sister, Janie. The album artwork is a mix of his painting and a Linda McCartney photograph of him with a blue tint.[23]

Band of Gypsys UK cover (Track Records)

Band of Gypsys is a blues rock band led by Jimi Hendrix and backed by Billy Cox and Buddy Miles. Hendrix formed the band after the dissolution of The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Band of Gypsys is also the band's eponymous live album recorded on two separate nights, 31 December 1969 and 1 January 1970, at the Fillmore East. Released just three months before his death in 1970, it was the last album Hendrix himself authorized, and the only Hendrix-authorized album to be released on Capitol Records (in the U.S.). This was the result of a settlement regarding a recording contract he had signed in 1965. Produced by Hendrix, Band of Gypsys reached #5 in the U.S. and #6 in the UK.

History After Hendrix disbanded the Jimi Hendrix Experience in early-1969, he formed Gypsy Sun and Rainbows to fulfill the contract for the Experience to play Woodstock. Bassist Billy Cox (who had played with Hendrix while they were in the army) had been rehearsing and playing with Hendrix since April, but the band was short-lived. With Cox and his drummer friend Buddy Miles, Hendrix next formed the Band of Gypsys, this time to fulfill his obligation to produce an LP of new material for Ed Chalpin, to be released on the Capitol label. Hendrix, in interviews as early as March 1969, had already mentioned a "jam" album to be titled Band of Gypsys. Hendrix also mentioned in his introduction at Woodstock that "Band of Gypsys" was an alternative name for the group performing there. They recorded a single "Stepping Stone" (b/w "Izabella") for Reprise, which was quickly withdrawn after its release. They also recorded some studio material, and several finished tracks, some of which have been released on First Rays of the New Rising Sun and elsewhere. They made their live debut at the Fillmore East on New Year's Eve, 1969, for a series of four shows spread over two nights. The Fillmore East concerts featured mostly new songs, as the songs for the Band of Gypsys LP would have to be original due to a recent judgment against him in a contractual suit. This performance was captured using the then new portable Sony Portapak B&W video camera and open-reel 1/2" videotape recorder, from two different angles.[5] The set of concerts is notable for being the only known time in which Hendrix used an Octavia pedal, though its effects were recorded on many of his studio songs, including "Purple Haze". Custom made for him, Hendrix rarely brought the Octavia to shows for fear it might get stolen. In some markets, including the UK, the album was released with a cover photograph that featured dolls of Hendrix, Brian Jones, Bob Dylan and British DJ John Peel, an early supporter of Hendrix. Hendrix selected two Buddy Miles songs and three of his own for the album, not wanting to give away any more of his new songs than he had to. "We Gotta Live Together" is heavily edited to fit on the album. Its original length is about twice that which can be heard on the album. A longer version can be heard on Live at the Fillmore East album; the full version has never been officially released. Due to the demands of four sets over two days, the band needed a lot of material and played the Experience-era favorites "Wild Thing," "Hey Joe," "Purple Haze, "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," "Foxy Lady," "Fire," and "Stone

Free" to fill out the sets. Nearing the end of the fourth set, Hendrix said, "We're just trying to figure out something to play, but we only know about six songs right now...seven...nine."[5] He then launched into a version of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)." "Foxy Lady" was included on the later Japanese/German re-release (details below). Furthermore, "Wild Thing," "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" and "Stone Free" can be heard on Live at the Fillmore East. After a disastrous show at Madison Square Garden on January 28, 1970, where Hendrix insulted a woman in the audience, played just two songs and then left the stage, Band of Gypsys was disbanded. A documentary entitled Band of Gypsys: Live at the Fillmore East was released on DVD in 1999.[5] It focused on the album and Hendrix's performances at the Fillmore during New Year's Eve 1969, and New Year's Day 1970. It contains the original half-inch open-reel black and white video footage shot by a fan at the concerts, and interviews with people that were involved in Hendrix at the time.[5]

Historic Performances Recorded at the Monterey International Pop Festival was a live album released by Reprise Records on August 26, 1970 documenting two memorable performances at the Monterey Pop Festival; those by Otis Redding and The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Reprise was restless for a new album release from one of its hottest stars, but Hendrix had not delivered new material to Reprise in two years. Reprise decided not to wait any longer and released the Monterey album. It was an opportune move because Hendrix died just after the album hit stores (Redding had died in 1967). The album hit 15 on the Billboard album chart. It was impressive for an album of material that had sat on the shelf for three years. It also fueled the idea at Reprise and other record companies that old material could be repackaged and sold to Hendrix fans. Although the Monterey International Pop Festival album was released three years after being recorded, it became highly acclaimed. Both Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding had given breakthrough performances at the Festival, which launched both their careers onto a wider stage. The Monterey International Pop Music Festival took place from June 16 to June 18, 1967 and was the brainchild of Lou Adler. Over 200,000 people attended, and it is often regarded as the precursor to Woodstock. Hendrix took the stage on the final day, June 18, 1967. Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones introduced The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Jimi Plays Monterey (1986)

Johnny B. Goode (1986)

Jimi Plays Monterey is a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix released in February 1986. The album documents The Jimi Hendrix Experience's performance at the Monterey Pop Festival on June 18, 1967. As well as songs from the band's debut album Are You Experienced, Monterey also includes covers of "Killing Floor" (Howlin' Wolf), "Like a Rolling Stone" (Bob Dylan), "Rock Me Baby" (B. B. King) and "Wild Thing" (Chip Taylor). The version of "Wild Thing" on the album is one of the most notable live performances ever, as, in an iconic moment in rock history, he sets his guitar alight after the song and then smashes it. Jimi Plays Monterey is also a short film directed by D. A. Pennebaker documenting the same performance as the album, also released in 1986. It is notable for containing several interviews with rock stars, and containing an art piece by Denny Dent during the performance of "Can You See Me".

Live at Winterland (1987)

Band of Gypsys 2 is a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix released in October 1986. This is the second time producer Alan Douglas went with Capitol Records for a Hendrix release (The first being the live mini LP "Johnny B. Goode"). Though the title suggests that all songs were performed by the Band of Gypsys, there are actually only three tracks on the album which feature this band. The other songs come from Hendrix's performances at the 1970 Atlanta International Pop Festival on July 4, 1970 and the Berkeley Community Theatre on May 30, 1970. This release was deleted from the Capitol records catalogue after it was found out that "Foxy Lady" and "Stop" were lifted from a videotape of the January 1st, 1970 Fillmore East show (Producer Alan Douglas did not have access to the master tapes at the time). Also a very limited run of side 2 was pressed accidentally with alternate tracks.

Blues (1994)

Bleeding Heart is a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix released officially in 1994 by Castle Communications. The album documents Hendrix's jam session at The Scene club, 301 West 46th Street, New York City in March 1968, with guest vocals from Jim Morrison (that consist almost entirely of drunkenly shouted obscenities). Other musicians on the recordings are unknown, though it is possible that the bassist is Randy Hobbs and the drummer is Randy Zehringer, members of The Scene's house band at the time. It has been rumored that Noel Redding and Johnny Winter also appear. In the case of Redding, this is definitely untrue. Winter himself has denied that he took part in the jam, saying he never met Jim Morrison, although at times during the recording a second lead guitar (at a lower volume than Hendrix's) can be heard playing in an electric blues style. Bleeding Heart was released at various times in the past under various different names including High, Live 'N Dirty, Woke Up This Morning and Found Myself Dead (1980, with covertext by Tony Brown, who claimed this was the 'first genuine release' of these recordings 'thanks to Peter Shertser', published by Surprise Records in Brussels (Belgium). Tracking list is unaltered, but for the 'Woke up one morning (...) title: this now reads 'Wake up this morning and you find yourself dead'.)', Sunshine of Your Love, Sky High, Live at the Scene Club, Red House, New York Sessions and Tomorrow Never Knows, though all were unofficial releases.

Live at Clark University (1999)

Live at Woodstock is a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix released on July 6, 1999. The album documents Hendrix's performance with his band Gypsy Sun and Rainbows at Woodstock Festival on August 18, 1969. Many of the tracks on this album were released in 1994 on Woodstock. Apart from the cover of "Gypsy Woman" (The Impressions) and "Mastermind", both of which were sung by rhythm guitarist Larry Lee, Live at Woodstock contains the full set played by the band. The recording, sound mix and the 1999 remix were completed by Eddie Kramer, who has pointed out that the conditions were primitive; in view of that, the result has been acclaimed, though the radical editing results in the group sound being reduced to a three piece of Hendrix, Cox and Mitchell. Lee, as noted above, and the two percussionists are essentially edited out of the mix. The original recording of the complete performance can be heard on several bootleg releases and the full group is clearly audible, notably on "Jam Back At The House" (aka "Beginnings"), where the volume of the two percussionists and Lee's guitar are noticeably a part of the whole.

"Live at the Isle of Wight" redirects here. For the album by The Who, see Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 (album). Blue Wild Angel: Live at the Isle of Wight is a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix released on November 12, 2002. The album documents Hendrix's performance at the Isle of Wight Festival on August 31, 1970, barely three weeks before his death. Some songs on the album were available on the 1971 release Isle of Wight. The set list for the concert contained songs from the original Experience albums, as well as new songs written around the time of the performance. Tagged into the set was an adaptation of "God Save the Queen" and a cover of The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", played just before launching into "Spanish Castle Magic". The 22-minute version of "Machine Gun" includes walkie-talkie interference from security personnel feeding through the sound equipment. The CD set is more thorough than the DVD release as it contains "Midnight Lightning", "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)", and "Hey Joe", three songs omitted from the DVD. There was also a "highlights" album released as a single disc, which contained 11 songs; 9 from disc 1, and 2 from disc 2.

Live at Berkeley (2003)

Live at the Isle of Fehmarn (2005)

Live at Berkeley is a posthumous live album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience released on September 16, 2003. The album documents the band's second performance at the Berkeley Community Theatre on May 30, 1970. After the Band of Gypsys split up, Jimi's manager, Michael Jeffery, wanted to reunite the original Experience. He announced the re-formation of the Experience, and set up an interview with Rolling Stone magazine (with interviewer John Burks) on March 19, 1970, but 2 weeks later, Jimi had decided he did not want to work with bassist Noel Redding anymore. So with drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Billy Cox, the trio formed the new Jimi Hendrix Experience, also known as The Cry of Love, and at this particular concert pushed the boundaries with works-in-progress including embryonic versions of what would become "Straight Ahead" and "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)". Hendrix didn't tune his guitar down a half step as he usually did at all other shows and on most of his albums. Instead, he stayed in standard tuning.

Live at Monterey is a posthumous live album released on October 16, 2007. It contains Hendrix' performance with his band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. The album is similar to the Reprise release Jimi Plays Monterey, released in 1986. The differences lie in the mixes used - Joe Gastwirt mixed the 1986 Jimi Plays Monterey, whereas Eddie Kramer mixed this version. The introduction to the concert is also trimmed in the 2007 version.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience chronology Axis: Bold as Love (1967)

Smash Hits (1968)

Electric Ladyland (1968)

Smash Hits is the first compilation album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was released in 1968 in the UK and the following year in the United States. Containing nothing but the band's biggest successes, both editions of the albums have proven to be long and popular sellers.

''Smash Hits''

History The UK version first appeared in April 1968, only four months after the band's second studio album, Axis: Bold as Love, and while they were working on their third. Containing their first four (hit) UK singles (and their respective B-sides) in addition to four standout tracks from their (hit) LP Are You Experienced, Smash Hits became exactly that - a #5 album in the UK and one that had a long chart life. It also marked the first appearance on album of "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", five months ahead of its placement on Electric Ladyland. In the US, however, things were done a little differently. Jimi's then-record label, Reprise Records, felt that a greatest hits collection was far too premature (as he hadn't had any there yet) and waited until mid-1969 (and, coincidentally, the break-up of the original band once Noel Redding suddenly quit) to issue a different compilation with the same title. Now with Electric Ladyland in the mix, there was more to choose from (and also a "hit" single, his only one in US). There were also tracks that had been elbowed off the UK edition of Are You Experienced in 1967 to make way for "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze" and "The Wind Cries Mary". As a result, the US version of Smash Hits - which reached #6 in its territory - although only including one "smash hit", is more balanced and more representative of the band's career, yet still failed to include any tracks from Axis: Bold As Love, and only two from Electric Ladyland. However, the UK (612004) and Japanese mono editions include the mono mix of the rare 1967 B-Side "Stars That Play With Laughing Sam's Dice". It is also available on CD on The Singles Album. A Japanese version was released in 1969, with a Fish eye photograph cover by Karl Ferris, Jimi's personal photographer/designer. In 1997, Experience Hendrix Inc. compiled and issued Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix, which currently stands as the definitive Hendrix compilation. However, this compilation was reissued and remastered in 2001. Neither the UK or US version contained tracks from the acclaimed 1967 album Axis: Bold As Love.

Track listing All songs by Jimi Hendrix, except where noted.

UK Version (April 1968) Available in mono (612004), or 'mono enhanced for stereo' (fake stereo) Polydor (613004) & genuine stereo (1972?) Polydor (Super 613004) 1. "Purple Haze" – 2:52 2. "Fire" – 2:45 3. "The Wind Cries Mary" – 3:20 4. "Can You See Me" – 2:33 5. "51st Anniversary" – 3:16 6. "Hey Joe" (Roberts) – 3:30 7. "Stone Free" – 3:36 8.

Loose Ends (1973)

Soundtrack Recordings from the Film Jimi Hendrix is the soundtrack to the 1973 documentary film, Jimi Hendrix and the second live album by him. The double album was released by Reprise Records in July 1973. It contains the full-length live performances from the film and some clips from interviews (though not necessarily from the film). Since there was no new material in this album, many fans passed on buying it. The album peaked at No. 89 on the Billboard album chart, which generated concern at Reprise Records that repackaging old material would no longer satisfy the fans of Jimi Hendrix. The album has not been released on compact disc.

''Soundtrack Recordings from the Film Jimi Hendrix''

Film The documentary (or rockumentary) was made in 1973 by Joe Boyd, John Head and Gary Weis for Warner Bros. The film contains concert footage from 1967 to 1970, including material from Isle of Wight and the Monterey Pop Festival. The film also includes interviews with Hendrix' contemporaries, family and friends. The estate of Jimi Hendrix authorized the 1973 film to be re-released on video and DVD in 1999, and a special edition DVD was released 2005.

Live & Unreleased: The Radio Show (1989)

Kiss the Sky is a compilation album by American rock guitarist, singer–songwriter Jimi Hendrix; released through Polydor Records in November 1984. The idea for this release was from producer Alan Douglas' favorite Hendrix songs. The album's title is taken from the lyrics of "Purple Haze." "Red House" was listed in the liner notes as the "unedited version" which amounted to a few seconds of studio chat that preceded the song. "Stepping Stone" was the original Band of Gypsys single mix. "Killing Floor" from the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival was unreleased at the time of the release.[2]

Blues (1994)

Voodoo Soup (1995)

Blues is a posthumous compilation album by musician Jimi Hendrix, released April 26, 1994 on MCA Records.[8] The album contains eleven blues songs recorded by Hendrix between 1966 and 1970. Out of these eleven, six were previously unreleased. The tracks include seven of Hendrix's compositions along with covers of famous blues songs such as "Born Under a Bad Sign" and "Mannish Boy". Most of the album's material consists of leftover studio tapes that Hendrix might have never intended to release. Compiled by MCA and released in 1994, Blues was met with favorable criticism and multiple chart success, selling over 500,000 copies in its first two years of release. On February 6, 2001, Blues was certified platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America.[9] The album was re-released on Experience Hendrix Records in 1998, following the Hendrix family's acquisition of the musician's recordings.[10]

''Blues''

186

Music The opening song "Hear My Train A-Comin'" (aka (by Hendrix) "Getting My Heart Back Together Again") is a Hendrix original that he often played live in concert, particularly in 1969 and 1970. The song was from a long lost master tape of Hendrix alone playing a 12 string acoustic right hand guitar, strung for left hand and singing in a delta blues manner. This live studio performance was filmed for, and included in the film See My Music Talking, and later included in the 1973 documentary Jimi Hendrix and accompanying soundtrack LP. The last song on Blues is a live version of "Hear My Train A-Comin'" recorded on May 30, 1970, at the Berkeley Community Theater that had previously been released on the posthumous Rainbow Bridge album in 1971. A different version of "Hear My Train A-Comin'" was included on the posthumous 1975 album Midnight Lightning and was considered somewhat controversial since producer Alan Douglas used session musicians to augment Hendrix' guitar and Mitch Mitchell's drums (overdubbing the bass guitar in the process). Another studio version from February 1969 was included on The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set in 2000. "Born Under a Bad Sign" is an instrumental jam of the Albert King number (performed by Band of Gypsys). "Red House" is the original (mono) take from the European version of Are You Experienced, but minus the outro chat (previously unavailable in USA & Canada).[11] Another take (stereo) from a different session was released on the USA version of the 1969 compilation album Smash Hits. On this version Redding plays electric guitar tuned down to resemble a bass. "Catfish Blues" is from a Dutch TV show Hoepla. Hendrix uses the first two verses from Muddy Waters "Rollin’ Stone" (which is based on older versions usually with "Catfish" in the title) and the last verse is from Muddy's "Still a Fool" itself based on "Roll and Tumble Blues" by Hambone Willie etc. "Voodoo Chile Blues" is another creation of Alan Douglas, recorded during the sessions that produced the finished track, "Voodoo Chile", for the critically acclaimed Electric Ladyland album. This track is made up of two different takes of the song that were edited and joined together in order to come up with one consistent track. "Mannish Boy" is actually a hybrid of Muddy Waters's "Mannish Boy" and Bo Diddley's "I'm a Man", it is a similar edited studio creation that combines several takes. "Once I Had a Woman" is a slightly longer edited version of Hendrix's slow blues song. The band starts to jam during the second half of the long song and then a fade out follows. "Bleeding Heart" is a cover of the Elmore James number, performed here by Band of Gypsys. "Jelly 292" is actually take 2 of the song "Jam 292" (the name on the tape box) which appeared on the 1974 European only LP "Loose Ends". It is an uptempo jam based on Duke Ellington's "Dooji Wooji".[12] "Electric Church Red House" is a jam from TTG studios in 1968 featuring a group introduction by Hendrix (lifted from another, different jam at TTG) and Lee Michaels on organ.[13]

Jimi Hendrix chronology Blues (1994)

Voodoo Soup (1995)

Jimi By Himself: The Home Recordings (1995)

Voodoo Soup is a posthumous album by Jimi Hendrix. It was released on April 11, 1995 by MCA Records and was compiled by Alan Douglas, who was also responsible for the posthumous Hendrix releases Midnight Lightning and Crash Landing in the 1970s. The album was made up of unfinished studio recordings which were intended to be released on Hendrix's newest studio album, which was never-to-be. Douglas is a controversial figure amongst Hendrix fans, as on his previous releases he had brought in musicians who had never worked with Hendrix to overdub damaged/badly recorded drum, bass and even guitar parts. For the production of this album, two tracks' drum parts were overdubbed by Bruce Gary of The Knack, "Room Full of Mirrors" and "Stepping Stone". Most of the tracks on this album were released - in one form or another - on either First Rays of the New Rising Sun or South Saturn Delta in later years, with the exception of the instrumentals "The New Rising Sun" and "Peace in Mississippi". A portion of the instrumental released on this album as "The New Rising Sun" can be heard in the song "Captain Coconut" on the Crash Landing album, originally released in 1975. The version of "Peace In Mississippi" included on Voodoo Soup is the genuine original version of the song, as recorded by Hendrix, drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding in 1968, and different from the version of "Peace In Mississippi" included on Crash Landing, in which Mitchell and Redding's contributions were supplanted by overdubbed drum and bass parts performed by other musicians in 1975; the version on Crash Landing also included overdubbed guitar and percussion parts performed in 1975. In addition, the version on Voodoo Soup is about a minute longer than the one on Crash

''Voodoo Soup'' Landing. Voodoo Soup is no longer available to purchase, as it was deleted when the Hendrix family gained control of his recordings, and has been replaced by First Rays of the New Rising Sun. The album was badly received by some fans who objected to the overdubbing, and it also omits several notable songs, such as "Dolly Dagger" and "Izabella". However, the album was praised by Charles Shaar Murray, the author of the acclaimed book Crosstown Traffic: Jimi Hendrix and Post-War Pop, who claimed that it "more than earns its place in the pantheon of great Hendrix albums" and said that it "brought the Hendrix studio quartet -finally!- to a satisfactory conclusion."[2] The album cover artist is Moebius.

First Rays of the New Rising Sun (1997)

South Saturn Delta (1997)

First Rays of the New Rising Sun is a "concept compilation" attempting to recreate the album Jimi Hendrix was working on at the time of his death in 1970, as closely as is feasible to how he would have wanted it (based on recordings and notes he made during the last months of his life). After its release in 1997, the album reached #49 in the US and #37 in the UK. It was originally projected as a double-LP with a presumed release date of late 1970 or early 1971. Hendrix went off to England in late August 1970 to play the Isle of Wight festival, followed by a brief European tour, but never returned. He asphyxiated after taking an overdose of sleeping pills in London on September 18, 1970 at the age of 27.[2]

''First Rays of the New Rising Sun''

Hendrix's original plan for the album The original plans for the album changed many times and were never finalized. Hendrix was looking towards releasing a double or even triple-LP. During mid-summer 1970, Hendrix even talked about releasing an additional LP of new songs that didn't fit the project, under the name "People, Hell And Angels." The last documented working name for the album was Strate Ahead [sic] (the title atop the last documented track list found in Hendrix's notes). The name of this release (First Rays of the New Rising Sun) is referenced in at least two songs intended on the album -- "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)" and "Izabella" -- and in several onstage comments Hendrix made during performances that were recorded at that time. [3] During the recording of his next album Hendrix had written a few conceptual track listings. This tracklist written on a 3M tape box has no title and is not in Hendrix's hand:[4] Side A 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Dolly Dagger Night Bird Flying Room Full Of Mirrors Belly Button Window Freedom

Side B 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Ezy Rider Astro Man Drifting Straight Ahead Freedom

Side C 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Night Bird Flying (Drifter's Escape) (Come Down On Me) Beginnings [scored out] Cherokee Mist [scored out] (Angel)

Side D This section was blank. On the tracklisting mentioned above, "Freedom" is both on side A and B, and "Night Bird Flying" is both on side A and C. Also, on the handwritten tracklisting, two songs on side C have lines through them. It is remarkable that Hendrix did not include many other songs which he had been working on during the summer of 1970, including "Izabella", "Lover Man", "Stepping Stone", "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)", "Earth Blues", "In From The Storm", "Bleeding Heart", "Burning Desire", "Can I Whisper In Your Ear", "Hear My Train A'Comin'", "Midnight Lightning" and "Send My Love To Linda". Other proposed track listings The last track listing available is for an LP titled Strate Ahead [sic], which is in Hendrix's handwriting.[4] It is unknown what the crosses, ticks and dashes signify: ->Strate Ahead-> x [sic] 1. Ezy Ryder x 2. Room full of Mirrors x3. Earth Blues - Today √

Sending My Love - slow to medium This Little Boy Locomotion Dolly Dagger The New Rising Sun (Hey Baby)

These lists include several new songs that were in the process of being created. Some can be heard now on various releases, in early stages of development; others are difficult to identify. It is unknown whether "Sending My Love" is the same song as "Sending My Love to Linda". The song "Burning Desire" only exists in live rehearsal/concert versions and nothing of "Locomotion" is known beyond a couple of early lyric lines on a piece of paper. The identity of the song "Electric Lady-slow" is impossible to ascertain. "This Little Boy" appears to have no references and has disappeared without a trace. Most of the rest of the songs were almost finished when Hendrix died.

Initial releases All but three of the songs on this album were released on the first two posthumous Hendrix albums, released seven months apart in 1971: The Cry of Love and Rainbow Bridge, both produced by Eddie Kramer and Mitch Mitchell. The remaining three songs were on the third posthumous LP (and last produced by Kramer), War Heroes. Release of the original albums was complicated by Hendrix & Jeffery's contract to provide a soundtrack LP for the film Rainbow Bridge. Even though none of the songs on Rainbow Bridge actually appear in the movie of that name, the album cover stated that it was the official soundtrack, and the three tracks used for War Heroes were replaced on Rainbow Bridge by "Look Over Yonder" (a leftover song from 1968 recording sessions), the live "Hear My Train A Comin'," and a multi-tracked instrumental "Pali Gap". A multi-tracked solo studio version of "The Star Spangled Banner" from 1969 was also added. These tracks were an attempt to give the album more of a "live" feel, as the movie revolved around a small outdoor concert by Hendrix in Maui, Hawaii. "Hear My Train A Comin" was an alternate title for "Getting My Heart Back Together Again"; a studio version may have been part of Hendrix's plan for this album, though the cut on Rainbow Bridge is a live performance taken from the May 30, 1970 concert depicted in the movie "Jimi Plays Berkeley."

''First Rays of the New Rising Sun''

Controversy over control of Hendrix's music For many years after Jimi Hendrix's death, producer Alan Douglas controlled the release of the musician's remaining unreleased tracks. Many of Douglas' choices were controversial, such as his removal of the original backing musicians, replacing them with studio musicians who had never played with Hendrix, overdubbing guitar parts and adding female backing vocalists, reworking most of the songs and claiming co-composer credits on some. In 1995, Douglas had produced an album of Hendrix's work titled Voodoo Soup. This collection covers much of the same material as First Rays of the New Rising Sun but leaves out several important tracks, replaced by songs that have no connection to the original project. In addition, its tracks were heavily edited. For example, some drum parts were removed and replaced with new overdubs by Bruce Gary (best known as drummer for pop-rock group The Knack), who had never played with Hendrix. After a long legal struggle initiated by Al Hendrix and his adopted daughter Janie, they finally gained control of Jimi's recorded works in 1995 (under the name "Experience Hendrix LLC") and hired Eddie Kramer—who had recorded most of Hendrix's music, including his last songs—to put these tracks back together on one album, where previously they had been separated onto three.

Reconstructing the album The tracks for this album ranged from finished to skeletal at the time of Hendrix's death. Much of the material had been recorded over the summer of 1970 at Jimi's just-completed Electric Lady Studios in New York City. Many songs seemed to be missing just their finishing touches, but Hendrix was a perfectionist who had already spent two years developing this album, making it hard to be sure. Mitchell and Kramer have claimed that only the changes that had been discussed with Hendrix have been made for the unfinished tracks. Recording engineer Eddie Kramer used the same tracks with the same posthumous overdubs, production and mixing that he and Mitch Mitchell had applied on the "Cry of Love", "Rainbow Bridge" and "War Heroes" albums (apart from the removal of the drum beats at the beginning of "Easy Rider"). For First Rays of the New Rising Sun Kramer remastered and resequenced these tracks. Many songs only needed a final mix, which was made posthumously. However, "Belly Button Window" was possibly intended to have more overdubs. Both "Beginnings" and "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)" are in early stages of production, featuring basic tracks which might ultimately have been re-recorded. (In the latter song, Hendrix can be heard asking "Is the microphone on?") Some tracks, such as "Straight Ahead", feature a preliminary vocal track that Hendrix had intended to re-record. A vibraphone track was added to "Drifting" like Hendrix had planned though he also had an idea of using another guitar track instead of vibraphones. Other songs planned for the album were left out of this compilation as simply too raw, including "Come Down Hard On Me" and "Cherokee Mist" (both released on 2000's four-CD The Jimi Hendrix Experience), "Drifter's Escape" (later found on the 1997 compilation South Saturn Delta) and "Valleys of Neptune" (released on the 2010 album Valleys of Neptune). "Can I Whisper In Your Ear" is in too early a stage of development to be considered for a mainstream release. The song "My Friend", is an exception. It was recorded much earlier than the rest of the material (during Electric Ladyland sessions in 1968), and some people have raised doubts as to whether Hendrix had ever intended to include it. "Ezy Ryder" was not used in the similarly named movie Easy Rider but was inspired by Hendrix's viewing of it.

South Saturn Delta (1997)

BBC Sessions (1998)

South Saturn Delta is a posthumous Jimi Hendrix album compiled by the Hendrix estate that consists of material such as demo tapes, unfinished takes, previously released material that Hendrix had been working on prior to his death in 1970. When the Hendrix family acquired the rights for Jimi's catalog in 1995, they signed a contract with MCA Records (predecessor to the Universal Music Group) to release compilations of rare or newly discovered material. The first album that resulted of this contract was First Rays of the New Rising Sun, which was released in 1997 and was an attempt to rebuild the album left unfinished at Hendrix's death. South Saturn Delta followed it some months later and is a collection of unreleased material. The track list includes tracks from out-of-print albums such as Rainbow Bridge ("Look Over Yonder", "Pali Gap"); War Heroes ("Bleeding Heart", "Tax Free", "Midnight"); and Loose Ends ("The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice", "Drifter's Escape") along with new mixes of songs ("All Along the Watchtower"). "Look Over Yonder" is an outtake from 1968 featuring the original Experience line-up. The incorrectly tagged "Little Wing" is a demo tape performed solely by Hendrix and Mitch Mitchell and musically identical to "Angel". "Here He Comes (Lover Man)" is a well known Hendrix concert staple song that never made it to any of his albums. "South Saturn Delta" is a horn-laden funk-jazz song while "Power of Soul" and "Message to the Universe (Message to Love)" are studio versions of two Band of Gypsys tracks, the latter performed by Hendrix's Woodstock band Gypsy Sun and Rainbows. "Tax Free" is a studio recording of the song written by the Swedish instrumental duo

''South Saturn Delta'' Hansson and Carlsson, occasionally played on stage by Hendrix. "All Along the Watchtower" is the same take that appears on the Electric Ladyland album, but this one is the earlier mix by Chas Chandler. The stereo mix of "The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice" (originally the B-side to "Burning of the Midnight Lamp") is taken from the Loose Ends album, which was released in 1974 in Europe and Japan. "Midnight" is an instrumental song from the Electric Ladyland sessions. "Sweet Angel" is an early demo version of the song "Angel" featuring Hendrix using a primitive drum machine (the original tape had become slightly damaged some years back, but this was the only source for this song). "Bleeding Heart" is a jam based on an old blues song that appeared in 1972 on War Heroes and in 1994 on Blues. "Pali Gap" is an instrumental. "Drifter's Escape" is a Bob Dylan cover that also appeared on Loose Ends. "Midnight Lightning" is a demo tape of Hendrix's delta blues song featuring Hendrix alone tapping his foot to keep time while playing.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience chronology Live at the Oakland Coliseum (1998)

BBC Sessions (1998)

Live at Clark University (1999)

BBC Sessions is an album of recordings by the rock group The Jimi Hendrix Experience, released on MCA Records on June 2, 1998. It contains all the surviving tracks from their various appearances on BBC radio programmes, such as Saturday Club and Top Gear, recorded in 1967. At a BBC radio 'session', a practice still alive in British radio today, a band is required to record material in a studio quickly, with limited overdubbing, largely limited to and relying upon their live sound. Many groups as part of this tradition choosing to record some songs that are not part of their main repertoire. The album also includes the only two surviving Hendrix UK TV soundtracks (both BBC) Late Night Line Up ("Manic Depression" only survives) and the 1969 Lulu Show (complete). BBC Sessions therefore offers its own unique example of the Experience sound, and a revealing glimpse of a song from their early repertoire Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor" and their only known studio recording of Bob Dylan's "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?". Apart from the "live" in studio versions of well-known Experience songs, there are several unique studio recordings of songs, ie "Driving South" (x3), "Hoochie Coochie Man", "Catfish Blues", "Hound Dog", "Hear My Train a Comin'"(x2) and a couple of novelty tracks: the amusing parody of a BBC Radio 1 jingle "Radio One", and a recording with a young Stevie Wonder on drums (a cover of Wonder's own "I Was Made to Love Her"). It also includes the sound track from the band's infamous appearance on Lulu's television show in 1969.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience chronology Live at Clark University (1999)

The Jimi Hendrix Experience (MCA Box) (2000)

Live in Ottawa (2001)

MCA continued the series of definitive masters of the Jimi Hendrix catalogue in 2000, releasing the self-titled box set The Jimi Hendrix Experience, consisting of four discs. The material includes alternate recordings, live performances and some rarities. Although most of the material had been released in earlier compilations, some previously unreleased material (such as live versions of "Killing Floor" and "The Wind Cries Mary") was also included. The alternative recordings include some tracks from Hendrix's studio albums, even including some from First Rays of the New Rising Sun. This list includes "Purple Haze", "Highway Chile", "Little Wing", "Gypsy Eyes", "Stone Free", among others. The live songs are taken from performances such as the Monterey Pop Festival, the Royal Albert Hall, and the Isle of Wight and includes a near-complete version of Hendrix in the West. On some tracks, especially on those from Hendrix in the West, the recordings have been slightly altered to clean up the sound, but even when modifications were made the result does not differ too much from the original masterings. Another edition of this boxed set was released on 28th November 2005, which, under the Universal music group label, included an exclusive bonus DVD featuring a 30 minute documentary called "Hendrix And The Blues", originally created as part of the 'Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues' series. As well as this, this bonus DVD also includes several Live tracks, including "Johnny B. Goode" which was recorded live at Berkeley Community Theatre, Berkeley, California on May 30 1970, "Red House" and "In From The Storm", both of which were recorded live at Isle Of Wight, England on August 30 1970.

Track listing The track listing of parodies are as follows: Track

Title

Length (Style) Parody of

Description

1

"Purple Veins"

3:31

"Purple Haze"

The lament of a man hopelessly addicted to street narcotics. He knows they are a source of his misery, anger and confused state but they are also capable of providing him an escape - however short lived.

2

"Pliers"

2:56

"Fire"

In Hendrix' time, just singing about wanting to have sex with someone (see: Fire) was considered taboo. 40 years later nothing seems shocking, even this song expressing pure sexual deviancy seems tame compared to some popular hit songs today.

3

"Hey Bro"

4:20

"Hey Joe"

4

"Boxy Lady"

3:43

"Foxy Lady"

5

"The Wind Cries Larry"

3:42

"The Wind Cries A homeless man surveys his surroundings and reveals his pessimism on love/marriage, Mary" his distrust of the police and his belief that nature is ultimately out to do him in.

6

"Hobo Child (No Deposit No Return)"

4:45

"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"

7

"Are You Homeless?"

3:44

"Are You Experienced"

A man gets evicted from his apartment, beats up his landlady and winds up on the run from the cops. A homeless man expresses his affection for a homeless lady who collects and lives in cardboard boxes. Though he shares his panhandled change with her she still ignores his advances. He is relentless nonetheless.

Even deep down in the gutter, men are able to find pride of which to boast. In this case, it is the actual condition of being down and out. Hobo's (as opposed to homeless people) are traditionally romanticized in literature and sometimes even in popular culture - this label actually becomes a badge of honor to some. An unfortunate person, new to the streets, is welcomed and educated by a man who has been around for some time.

Live at the Isle of Fehmarn is a posthumous live album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, released on December 13, 2005 by Dagger Records. The album documents the band's performance at the Open Air Love & Peace Festival in Fehmarn, Germany on September 6, 1970; Jimi Hendrix's final concert performance. On its release a small number of copies were manufactured with a defect in playback speed. Experience Hendrix replaced the defective discs free of charge.[1]

The concert The Experience were originally scheduled to play on September 5, but heavy rain and Gerry Stickels interference delayed their appearance to the next day. Before the concert was slated to begin, former roadie Gerry Stickels [who was fired three nights previously, after Aarhus] stormed the box office and attempted to shut the concert down. Stickels and Hendrix exchanged insults in front of the crowd, and by the end of the concert a group of Hells Angels had attacked the crowd and Hendrix's roadie, Rocky, had been shot in the leg, forcing Hendrix to flee the stage. Two weeks later, Hendrix was dead, and the presence of Gerry Stickels and Eric Barrett at Hendrix's apartment would raise questions about a possible role in his death (at the concert, Hendrix had revealed the two as being lovers). Amateur recordings were made and released as bootlegs over the years, and after a new source of audio from the festival's promoters surfaced, the album was mixed and produced.[2]

The tour the album ultimately derived from was performed as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix as a celebration of 25 years since his death.

Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix is a 1993 album recorded by various artists in tribute to Jimi Hendrix. The artists were drawn from many genres of popular music. Contributors include his classic rock contemporaries Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, blues man Buddy Guy, classical violinist Nigel Kennedy, alternative pop/rock bands Belly and Spin Doctors, hip hop artists P. M. Dawn, among others. According to the liner notes, the "artists were encouraged to not only record one of their own personal favorites but to also place their stamp on Jimi's songs." Several artists recorded radically different interpretations, particularly, P. M. Dawn, The Cure, Nigel Kennedy and Pat Metheny. Some artists, on the other hand, recorded versions that were rather similar to the originals. The band M.A.C.C. is made up of Mike McCready (guitarist from Pearl Jam), Jeff Ament (bassist from Pearl Jam), Matt Cameron (drummer for Soundgarden and later for Pearl Jam), and Chris Cornell (singer of Soundgarden and later Audioslave). The cover of "Hey Baby (Land of the New Rising Sun)" is their only known recording. All four members of this group had previously worked together on the Temple of the Dog project.

Track listing All songs written and composed by Jimi Hendrix, except track five (by Billy Roberts).

"Hey Joe" (1974)

"Gloria" (1976)

"Hey Joe" is an American popular song from the 1960s that has become a rock standard and as such, has been performed in a multitude of musical styles by hundreds of different artists since it was first written.[1] [2] [3] "Hey Joe" tells the story of a man who is on the run and planning to head to Mexico after shooting his wife.[4] However, diverse credits and claims have led to confusion as to the song's true authorship and genesis.[3] [4] The earliest known commercial recording of the song is the late 1965 single by the Los Angeles garage band, The Leaves,[5] who also had the first hit version of the song with a re-recording in 1966. Currently the best-known version is The Jimi Hendrix Experience's 1966 recording.[6] The song title is sometimes given as "Hey Joe, Where You Gonna Go?" or similar variations.

Authorship While claimed by some to be a traditional song,[7] or often erroneously attributed to the pen of American musician Dino Valenti (who also went by the names Chester or Chet Powers, and Jesse Farrow), "Hey Joe" was registered for copyright in the U.S. in 1962 by Billy Roberts.[3] Scottish folk singer Len Partridge has claimed that he helped write the song with Roberts when they both performed in clubs in Edinburgh in 1956.[8] Other sources (including singer Pat Craig), claim that Roberts assigned the rights to the song to his friend Valenti while Valenti was in jail, in order to give him some income upon release.[3] [9] Roberts was a relatively obscure California-based folk singer, guitarist and harmonica player who performed on the West Coast coffeehouse circuit.[10] He later recorded the country rock album Thoughts of California with the band Grits in San Francisco in 1975, produced by Hillel Resner.[11] Resner has stated that a live recording of Roberts performing "Hey Joe" exists, dating from 1961.[3] Roberts possibly drew inspiration for "Hey Joe" from three earlier works: his girlfriend Niela Miller's 1955 song "Baby, Please Don’t Go To Town"[3] (which uses a similar chord progression based on the circle of fifths);[10] Carl Smith's 1953 US country hit "Hey Joe!" (written by Boudleaux Bryant), which shared the title and the "question and answer" format; and the early 20th century traditional ballad "Little Sadie", which tells of a man on the run after he has shot his wife.[12] The lyrics to "Little Sadie" often locate the events in Thomasville, North Carolina and Jericho, (near Hollywood, South Carolina). Roberts was himself born in South Carolina. Variations of "Little Sadie" have been recorded under various titles (including "Bad Lee Brown", "Penitentiary Blues", "Cocaine Blues", "Whiskey Blues") by many artists, including Clarence Ashley (1930),[13] Johnny Cash (1960 & 1968), Slim Dusty (1961),[14] and Bob Dylan (1970). Despite extensive archives of U.S. folk and blues music, and studies of the same, in the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution,[15] and other bodies, no documentary evidence has been provided to support the claim, by the late Tim Rose[7] and others, that "Hey Joe" is a wholly traditional work. (see also the article on "Morning Dew" regarding Rose and song copyrights). Rights to the song were administered from 1966 into the 2000s by the music publisher Third Story Music (now Third Palm Music); they list the author as Billy Roberts.[16]

"Hey Joe"

Early recordings (1965–1966) Roberts' song gained fans in the Los Angeles music scene of the mid-1960s, which led to fast-paced recordings in 1965 and 1966 by The Leaves, The Standells, The Surfaris, Love and The Byrds, swiftly making the song a garage rock classic.[5] Both Dino Valenti and The Byrds' David Crosby have been reported as helping to popularize the song before it was recorded by The Leaves in December 1965.[17] The Leaves, who had been introduced to the song while attending live concerts by The Byrds (who had yet to record their own version of the song) at Ciro's on Sunset Boulevard,[17] recorded and released three versions of "Hey Joe" between 1965 and 1966.[4] Their first version was released in November/December 1965 but sold poorly.[5] The band's third recorded version of the song became a hit in May/June 1966 and reached #31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[5] The Leaves' version is notable for being the only recording of the song to reach the Top 40 of the Billboard chart.[4] The Surfaris recording of the song, released on the B-side of their "So Get Out" single, is sometimes cited as being the first rock recording of the song[18] but a number of reliable sources contend that, in fact, the Surfaris' version dates from 1966, well after The Leaves' original 1965 version.[3] [19] [20] There is some dispute over exactly when The Surfaris' recording of the song was released. Some sources list its release date as being late 1965[18] but there are many other sources that list it as being June 1966.[21] [22] However, the catalogue number of The Surfari's single is Decca 31954, which when cross-referenced with other contemporaneous Decca single releases, allows the single to be conclusively dated to a May - June 1966 time frame.[23] A June 1966 release date is further corroborated by the discographical information on Gary Usher's website.[23] Usher was the producer of The Surfaris' recording of the song and the discographical information on his website comes from the late producer's personal archives, as compiled by his biographer Stephen J. McParland at the request of the Usher family.[24] The Standells also recorded a version of the song, titled "Hey Joe, Where You Gonna Go", which was included on their 1966 Dirty Water album.[25] The garage rock band, The Music Machine, recorded a slow, moody, fuzz-laden version of the song in late 1966 which bears a strong resemblance to Jimi Hendrix's later version.[26] The Los Angeles band Love included a version of "Hey Joe" on their debut album, Love, released on Elektra Records in April 1966.[27] The song was brought to the band by guitarist and singer, Bryan MacLean, who had been introduced to the song by David Crosby during 1965, while MacLean had been a roadie for The Byrds.[17] The band's lead vocalist, Arthur Lee, claimed in later years that it was Love's version that turned Jimi Hendrix onto the song as well as most of the other Los Angeles acts who covered the song.[28] The song was initially intended to be Love's first single, however, Lee knew that The Leaves had released a recording of it and so Love issued a cover of Burt Bacharach's "My Little Red Book" as their debut single instead. Love's recording of "Hey Joe" features slightly different lyrics to most versions of the song, due to the fact that Bryan MacLean didn't know all of the words to the song. For example, the lyric "gun in your hand" became "money in your hand" in Love's version.[29] The Byrds recording of the song also features the same altered lyrics as Love's version.[30] The Byrds included a recording of the song, titled "Hey Joe (Where You Gonna Go)", on their 1966 album, Fifth Dimension.[17] The lead vocalist on The Byrds' version was David Crosby, who was instrumental in bringing the song to the group and in popularising the song within the larger L.A. music community.[17] Crosby had wanted to record the song almost since the band first formed in 1964 but the other members of The Byrds had been unenthusiastic toward the song.[17] By the time of the recording sessions for Fifth Dimension, several other bands had enjoyed success with covers of "Hey Joe", leaving Crosby angered by his bandmates' lack of faith in the song. In interview, Byrds' guitarist and band leader Roger McGuinn recalled that "The reason Crosby did lead on 'Hey Joe' was because it was his song. He didn't write it but he was responsible for finding it. He'd wanted to do it for years but we would never let him. Then both Love and The Leaves had a minor hit with it and David got so angry that we had to let him do it."[9] General consensus within the band and among critics was that The Byrds' version wasn't an entirely successful reading of the song and was inferior to previous recordings of the song by Love and The Leaves.[31] In later years,

"Hey Joe" both McGuinn and the band's manager, Jim Dickson, criticised Crosby's vocal performance on the song for not being powerful enough to carry the aggressive subject matter and expressed regret that the song had been included on Fifth Dimension. Even Crosby himself later admitted that the recording of the song was an error on his part, stating "It was a mistake, I shouldn't have done it. Everybody makes mistakes."[17] The song would go on to become a staple of The Byrds' live concert repertoire during 1966 and 1967.[17] The band also included the song in their performance at the Monterey Pop Festival, which is included on the 2002 The Complete Monterey Pop Festival DVD box set as well as on the 1992 The Monterey International Pop Festival CD box set.[32] [33]

Tim Rose and Jimi Hendrix (1966) Folk rock singer Tim Rose’s slower version of the song (recorded in 1966 and claimed to be Rose's arrangement of a wholly traditional song)[7] inspired the first single by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.[6] The ex-bassist for The Animals, Chas Chandler, who was now focusing on managing other acts, had seen Rose performing the song at the Cafe Wha? in New York City and as a result, was looking for an artist to record a rock version of "Hey Joe".[34] [35] Chandler discovered Jimi Hendrix, who had also been playing at the Cafe Wha? in 1966 and performing an arrangement of "Hey Joe" inspired by Rose's rendition.[35] Chandler decided to take Hendrix with him to England in September 1966, where he would subsequently turn the guitarist into a star.[34] Tim Rose re-recorded "Hey Joe" in the 1990s, re-titling it "Blue Steel .44"[36] and again claimed the song as his own arrangement of a traditional song. Some accounts credit the slower version of the song by the British band The Creation as being the inspiration for Hendrix's version; Chandler and Hendrix saw them perform the song after Jimi arrived in the UK, although The Creation's version was not released until after Hendrix's.[37] It is unclear if the members of The Creation had heard Tim Rose's version. Released in December 1966, Hendrix's version became a hit in the United Kingdom, entering the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart in January 1967 and peaking at #6.[38] The single was released in the United States on May 1, 1967 with the B-side "51st Anniversary" but failed to chart.[39] "Hey Joe", as recorded by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, remains the best known version of the song[6] and is listed as #198 on Rolling Stone magazine's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[40] In 2009 it was named the 22nd greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.[41] "Hey Joe" was the last song Jimi Hendrix performed at the Woodstock festival in 1969 and as such, it was also the final song of the whole festival. The song was performed after the crowd, comprising the 80,000 who hadn't yet left the festival, cheered for an encore.[42]

Later recordings (1968–present) Marmalade recorded a version of the song in 1968 because they needed a B-side to their single "Lovin' Things" in a hurry, and because they thought it was a traditional song and as such, the band would get the songwriting royalties from it.[43] Marmalade guitarist, Junior Campbell, stated in interview that "Jimi Hendrix's version had already sold about 200,000 copies and then we sold about 300,000 on the flip of 'Lovin' Things'. But then the following year, the bloke who'd written the bloody song suddenly turned up out of the woodwork!".[43] Frank Zappa recorded a parody of the song, titled "Flower Punk", on The Mothers of Invention album We're Only in It for the Money in 1968.[44] The song was one of several on the album that parodied the fashionable hippie lifestyle. Lyrics in Zappa's version included "Hey Punk, where you goin' with that flower in your hand?/Well, I'm goin' up to Frisco to join a psychedelic band."[45] Frank also included the opening chord riff of "Hey Joe" in the song "Honey, Don't You Want a Man Like Me?" from his Zappa in New York album. Patti Smith released a cover of the song as the A-side of her first single, "Hey Joe" b/w "Piss Factory", in 1974.[46] The arrangement of Smith's version is based on a recording by blues guitarist Roy Buchanan that was released the previous year (and dedicated to Hendrix). Smith's version is unique in that she includes a brief and salacious

monologue about fugitive heiress Patty Hearst and her kidnapping and participation with the Symbionese Liberation Army.[47] Smith's version portrays Patty Hearst as Joe with a "gun in her hand".[47] Sonic Youth's song "Hey Joni", included on their 1988 album, Daydream Nation, is titled in reference to "Hey Joe" and to Joni Mitchell but it shares no lyrical themes with the Billy Roberts' song.[48] The rock band The Who occasionally performed "Hey Joe" during their 1989 tour. Their version was influenced by Jimi Hendrix's arrangement and was dedicated to him.[49] Willy DeVille recorded a mariachi version of the song that was a hit in Europe in 1992, going to #1 in Spain.[50] The song was released as a single in Europe and appeared on DeVille's Backstreets of Desire album. Type O Negative re-titled the song as "Hey Pete" (in reference to frontman Peter Steele) on their 1992 The Origin of the Feces album and changed the song's protagonist to an axe-murderer. This fit the song into a story arc spanning several of the band's own compositions. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were seen in 2006 rehearsing the song on the TV program Live From Abbey Road on Channel 4. Bap Kennedy, was so inspired by Hendrix's performance of "Hey Joe" as the closing song of the Woodstock Festival that he released his own version forty years later on his 2009 album, Howl On.[51] 1,572 guitarists played "Hey Joe" simultaneously in the town square of Wrocław, Poland on May 1, 2006, breaking a Guinness record. A new record was set when 1,881 guitarists played "Hey Joe" in Wrocław on May 1, 2007. Then on May 1, 2008, 1,951 guitarists played "Hey Joe" in Wrocław to set a new world record. The record was further broken in Wroclaw on May 1, 2009, when 6346 guitarists played the song in the same venue.

1,881 guitarists played "Hey Joe" in Wrocław on May 1, 2007, setting what was, at the time, a new Guinness record.

"Purple Haze" (1967)

"The Wind Cries Mary" (1967)

"Purple Haze" is a song written in 1966 and recorded in 1967 by The Jimi Hendrix Experience and released as a single (Hendrix's second) in both the United Kingdom and the United States. It appeared on the US release of their 1967 album Are You Experienced and on subsequent re-releases of the album. "Purple Haze" has become one of the "archetypical psychedelic drug songs of the sixties"[] and is often cited as one of Jimi Hendrix's greatest songs, and for many is his signature song. Reportedly, the song came into being after his manager Chas Chandler heard him playing the riff backstage and suggested that he write lyrics to go with it. There is some dispute about the lyrics: supposedly written in the dressing room of the Upper Cut Club on Boxing Day, 1966, Chandler claims that the lyrics were never cut in any way (though he admits that this was doing on general principle with Hendrix's lyrics), while Hendrix stated that the original song contained much more text.[1] The single was released in the UK (as Track 604001) on 17 March 1967; it entered the charts at #39 and peaked at number three, spending 14 weeks in the chart. It was released in the US (as Reprise 0597) on 19 June 1967, where it peaked at #65, spending only 8 weeks in the chart.[2]

"Purple Hare" In March 2005, Q magazine ranked "Purple Haze" at number one in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.[3] Rolling Stone magazine placed the song at #17 in their "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."[4] Australian music TV channel MAX placed "Purple Haze" at #17 on their 2008 countdown Rock Songs: Top 100.

Lyrics "I dream a lot and I put a lot of my dreams down as songs," Hendrix said in a 1969 interview with the New Musical Express, "I wrote one called 'First Around the Corner' and another called 'The Purple Haze,' which was all about a dream I had that I was walking under the sea."[5] The term "purple haze" has been used to refer to LSD, due to the form sold by Sandoz, called Delysid, which came in purple capsules. Furthermore, Purple Haze is a particular strand of marijuana noted for its 'purple' appearance, therefore this is the most credible reference as 'kissing the sky' means 'to get high'.[6] [7] Common legend is that Jimi was on Owsley Stanley Purple Haze LSD when he composed the song.[8] The phrase itself appears in print as early as 1861, in Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, chapter 54: "There was the red sun, on the low level of the shore, in a purple haze, fast deepening into black..."

Common mondegreen A common misheard lyric in the song is "excuse me while I kiss this guy". The actual line is "excuse me while I kiss the sky". In fact, it has even been documented that Jimi Hendrix himself perpetrated this mondegreen by actually using it as a joke while singing Purple Haze live in concert,[9] particularly at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. This can also be heard in Purple Haze(Live at Woodstock) on Guitar Hero World Tour. In Cheech & Chong's film Nice Dreams, the line is parodied as, "excuse me while I kiss this fly". The mondegreen has lent its name to a site devoted to misheard lyrics, KissThisGuy [10]

Music The song is known for its use of the "Hendrix chord" (dominant 7 # 9) played as the first chord after the introduction. This chord structure was often used in jazz by artists such as Horace Silver in the early 1960s, but was not used in rock on a regular basis. The intro itself is notable for its prominent use of the distinctive tritone interval, also used commonly by jazz musicians. It is sounded when Hendrix plays an E7 #9 (low to high: E, G#, D, G) on the guitar while the bass plays an E (and its octave);[11] such a "dissonant" interval was unusual in popular music of the time. The guitar solo is played through an Octavia,[12] an effects pedal that increases notes by one octave. The effect was developed by Roger Mayer, an acoustical and electronics engineer, and Mayer claims he made it in cooperation with Jimi Hendrix.[13] A dubbed guitar part using the Octavia can also be heard during the outro.

Covers of and references to Purple Haze Johhny Jones & the King Casuals covered "Purple Haze" in 1968. Hendrix was a member of The King Casuals prior to his solo career. A pop version by Dion reached #72 in Canada in February 1969. In 1973, in National Lampoon's Lemmings, a parody of Woodstock, John Belushi's Joe Cocker parody "Lonely at the Bottom" refers to the late 1960s as "days of Purple Haze and freon". In the 1979 film Apocalypse Now, the character Lance deploys a purple smoke grenade on the boat and sings the song, while on LSD. In Cheech & Chong's film Nice Dreams, released in 1981 by Columbia Pictures, when the protagonists are in a mental institution, a black patient dressed like Jimi Hendrix (played by Michael Winslow) sings a parody version of "Purple Haze". A live recording of the song is featured in the opening credits of the 1983 comedy-drama film of the same name. Near the end of the Huey Lewis and the News 1984 song "I Want a New Drug", the famous Intro to "Purple Haze" can be heard as the music fades out. Los Angeles art rock band The Fibonaccis recorded a discordant avant-garde cover of "Purple Haze" in 1984, releasing a psychedelic music video for the song the same year. San

"Purple Hare" Francisco string quartet Kronos Quartet play "Purple Haze" live regularly; the song is included on their album Kronos Quartet (1986) and on the music DVD In Accord (2000).[14] [15] A version by the Art Ensemble of Chicago is featured on their album Ancient to the Future, which was released in 1987. The song "Purple Haze" is played in the movie Masters of the Universe from 1987 starring Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren. Art Rock band The Fibonaccis covered the song in an in-film performance in the 1987 comedy Valet Girls. The band Winger performed a cover of the song on their self-titled debut album released by Atlantic Records in 1988. The song was featured in the 1988 action film Shakedown. A heavy version of the song has been performed live by Ozzy Osbourne at the Moscow Music Peace Festival, a one-time gathering of high-profile hard rock acts who put on a concert for the people in Moscow, Soviet Union on 12 and 13 August 1989 to promote world peace. This version is featured on the compilation album Stairway to Heaven/Highway to Hell, which was released in the same year. The Traveling Wilburys song "End of the Line", released in 1989, contains the lyrics "Maybe somewhere down the road a ways / You'll think of me and wonder where I am these days / Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays / Purple Haze" Frank Zappa performs a parody version of the song on 1991 live album The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life, recorded in 1988. The Bobs recorded an a capella version of "Purple Haze" in 1991.[16] A version of "Purple Haze" by Tangerine Dream is on the group's concert album 220 Volt Live, which was recorded live in USA in 1992. A version by The Cure is the first track on 1993 tribute album Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix. In the film Apollo 13, released in 1995, Jim Lovell's oldest daughter was playing "Purple Haze" before watching Apollo 13's live broadcast from space. In an episode of My Wife and Kids, Michael Kyle shows his son and his friend his guitar skills by playing the song; he also lit the guitar on fire and played it with his tongue. A copy of the single was found in a CD player in one of Uday Hussein's luxury vehicles. In the 2006 song "Dimension" by the Australian band Wolfmother, they use the lyrics "Purple Haze is in the sky". The intro to "Purple Haze" can be heard during the guitar solo of the song "Dani California" a single by The Red Hot Chili Peppers released on May 1, 2006. In 2007, the Buena Vista Social Club covered this song in the album Rhythms del Mundo Classics. The piece One Winged Angel, from Final Fantasy VII by Nobuo Uematsu, is inspired by Purple Haze including its famous intro. A live version of the song appears along side "The Wind Cries Mary" in the music video game Guitar Hero World Tour. D.H. Peligro, ex-drummer of the Dead Kennedys, recently recorded a punk rock cover of Purple Haze, which was nominated for a Grammy Award. Seattle band Eclipse Revolution covered Purple Haze live.

"The Wind Cries Mary" (1967)

"Burning of the Midnight Lamp" (1967)

"'The Wind Cries Mary" is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was released as the band's third single, backed with "Highway Chile", on May 5, 1967. The track is an example of psychedelic blues-rock, as the song is in the key of F major, with a guitar solo primarily involving the F major pentatonic scale. One of Hendrix's first hits in England, the song was recorded at the end of the "Fire" sessions. Today, the song is considered a classic and continues to receive decent airplay around the world. It is #370 on Rolling Stones list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. In the USA, the song was first released as B-side to the song "Purple Haze" in June 1967 and later on the USA compilation version of the album Are You Experienced and along with the other sides of their first three singles, on most later re-releases of Are You Experienced. The song is said to have been inspired when Hendrix and his then girlfriend, Kathy Etchingham, had an argument over her cooking; after she stormed out of their apartment, Hendrix wrote "The Wind Cries Mary", as Mary was Etchingham's middle name. Kathy has said that many of the Dylanesque lyrics describe the test card that appeared at the end of BBC television transmissions at that time.[1] a mistake on Kathy's behalf as that particular testcard wasn't first broadcast until July 1967, while the song had been written long before that. Billy Cox, who was the bassist for the Band of Gypsys and long-time friend of Hendrix has stated Curtis Mayfields' influence on the song. "'The Wind Cries Mary' was a riff that was influenced by Curtis Mayfield, who was a big influence for Jimi." It is a misconception that Hendrix wrote the song about marijuana use, as "Mary Jane" is a slang term for marijuana. "The Wind Cries Mary" and "Highway Chile" were re-released in 1983, on The Singles Album compilation.[2] The song appears in the music video game Guitar Hero World Tour and once it's played on career mode, an avatar of Jimi Hendrix himself appears singing and playing the guitar.

"Burning of the Midnight Lamp" is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, first released as a mono single b/w "The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice" in the United Kingdom on August 19, 1967 (peaking at #18). It later appeared on the band's third and final studio album, Electric Ladyland (1968). The single features more sophisticated instrumentation and production than his earlier 1967 releases, and anticipates the richness and detail of Axis: Bold as Love (1967) and Electric Ladyland. Both songs feature the wah-wah guitar effect, a first for Hendrix and later to become a regular element of his playing. The song is also one of the few on which Hendrix plays keyboard. Recorded July 7 and 20 1967 at Mayfair Studios, "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" features complex instrumentation and studio production. The song opens with a delicate melody played on an electric harpsichord and wah-wah guitar that is soon joined by Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell's bass and drums. During the verses, the rhythm section playing is insistent, in contrast to the angelic background vocals and harpsichord that provide a crescendo to each verse. According to engineer Eddie Kramer, the vocals are by Cissy Houston and The Sweet Inspirations. The mandolin effect is produced by recording two or more guitars playing the same part slowly, then speeding it up so that it plays at double speed on the record, effecting a unique timbre. The building instrumentation is repeated for each verse. Hendrix's attachment to the song is evidenced by the decision to include it on Electric Ladyland over a year (and an album) after first releasing it.

"Foxy Lady" (1967)

"Up from the Skies" (1968)

"Foxy Lady" (or alternatively "Foxey Lady") is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience from their 1967 album Are you Experienced. It can also be found on a number of Hendrix's greatest hits compilations, including Smash Hits (1968/1969) and Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix (1997). Rolling Stone magazine placed the song at #152 in their "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list. The song is well known for its guitar riff, which alternates between the bass F# (and its octave), which Hendrix played with his thumb on the second fret, and the ringing E–A dyad at the fifth fret. It is one of Hendrix's earliest uses of feedback in a studio recording. The song is also known for its use of the so-called "Hendrix chord", the dominant 7#9. The United States version of Are You Experienced (also released in Canada) listed the song with a spelling mistake as "Foxey Lady"[1] and this is how it is still known among many North American fans and critics today. The group had difficulties deciding how to end the song. Bass player Noel Redding claims that the last chord was his suggestion.[2] Hendrix commented on his own lyrics by saying that he did not approach women in such a straightforward manner as the lyrics might suggest ("You got to be all mine" etc.)[2]

"Up from the Skies" is a song by English/American psychedelic rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featured on their 1967 second album Axis: Bold as Love. Written by lead vocalist and guitarist Jimi Hendrix, the song details the experience of a specimen of extraterrestrial life returning to Earth and displaying concern with the damage caused by the human beings living there. It was released as the only single from Axis: Bold as Love, in the United States and France only, and reached number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[1]

Background and style "Up from the Skies" was recorded on 29 October 1967, the last day of recording for the album, at Olympic Sound Studios in London.[1] Music website allmusic reviewer Matthew Greenwald described the song as "Musically, [...] a breezy, jazz-based stroll, and it's quite different from anything on his debut album."[2] The musical style of the song was noted in popular Hendrix biography Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy as boasting an "easy triplet jazz feel," bringing attention to the "delicate wah-wah and Mitch [Mitchell, The Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer]'s brush-work."[1] The lyrical content of the song is said to be articulated from the perspective of a visiting alien "concerned about what has happened to [Earth] since the last time he passed through."[1] Greenwald suggests that this motif is adopted to "[address] the older generation and their flaws and judgements against the youth of the 1960s," which Hendrix supposedly does "with a sense of idle curiosity rather than distaste, not unlike an alien visiting the planet Earth for the first time."[2]

Reception Despite being less commercially successful than previous singles, "Up from the Skies" was generally well-received critically. For magazine Rolling Stone, critic Parke Puterbaugh identified the song as an effective opening song for the album, suggesting that ""Up From the Skies," the mission statement of Axis: Bold As Love, [...] [draws] the ear into an album that wanted to take you higher, past gravity or limits of any kind."[3] Reviewer Cub Koda, for allmusic, summarised the song as a "spacy rocker."[4]

Bob Dylan's original Background Dylan wrote "All Along the Watchtower" along with the other songs on John Wesley Harding over the year or so following his motorcycle accident in the summer of 1966.[1] His recuperation from the accident, which occurred near his home in Woodstock, New York, enabled Dylan to escape the excesses of touring and make a dramatic turnaround in his lifestyle.[2] [3] With one child born in early 1966 and another in mid-1967, he settled into family life and even took a growing interest in the Bible, as reflected in the album's Biblical allusions, particularly in songs such as "All Along the Watchtower", "Dear Landlord", "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine" and "The Wicked Messenger".[4] [5]

Recording Dylan recorded the song on November 5, 1967, at Columbia Studio A in Nashville, Tennessee, the same studio where he completed Blonde on Blonde in the spring of the previous year.[6] Accompanying Dylan, who played acoustic guitar and harmonica, were two Nashville veterans from the Blonde on Blonde sessions, Charlie McCoy on bass guitar and Kenneth Buttrey on drums. The producer was Bob Johnston, who produced Dylan's two previous albums, Highway 61 Revisited in 1965 and Blonde on Blonde in 1966.[7] The session of the beginning was the second of three in the recording of John Wesley Harding. "All Along the Watchtower", the session's first song, was done in five takes, the third and fifth of which were spliced to create the album track.[6] As with most of the album's selections, the song is a dark, sparse work that stands in stark contrast with Dylan's previous recordings of the mid-1960s.[8]

Analysis Several reviewers have pointed out that the lyrics in "All Along the Watchtower" echo lines in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 21, verses 5-9: Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise ye princes, and prepare the shield./For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth./And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed./...And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.[9] [10]

Commenting on the songs on his album John Wesley Harding, in an interview published in the folk music magazine Sing Out! in October 1968, Dylan told John Cohen and Happy Traum:

“

"I haven't fulfilled the balladeers's job. A balladeer can sit down and sing three songs for an hour and a half... it can all unfold to you. These melodies on John Wesley Harding lack this traditional sense of time. As with the third verse of "The Wicked Messenger", which opens it up, and then the time schedule takes a jump and soon the song becomes wider... The same thing is true of the song "All Along the Watchtower", [11] which opens up in a slightly different way, in a stranger way, for we have the cycle of events working in a rather reverse order."

”

The unusual structure of the narrative was remarked on by English Literature professor Christopher Ricks, who commented that "All Along the Watchtower" is an example of Dylan's audacity at manipulating chronological time: "at the conclusion of the last verse, it is as if the song bizarrely begins at last, and as if the myth began again."[12]

"All Along the Watchtower" Critics have described Dylan's version as a masterpiece of understatement. In Andy Gill's words: "In Dylan's version of the song, it's the barrenness of the scenario which grips, the high haunting harmonica and simple forward motion of the riff carrying understated implications of cataclysm; as subsequently recorded by Jimi Hendrix, ... that cataclysm is rendered scarily palpable through the dervish whirls of guitar."[13] Others have been more critical of Dylan's achievement. Dave Van Ronk, an early supporter and mentor of Dylan, made the following criticism of the song: That whole artistic mystique is one of the great traps of this business, because down that road lies unintelligibility. Dylan has a lot to answer for there, because after a while he discovered that he could get away with anything—he was Bob Dylan and people would take whatever he wrote on faith. So he could do something like "All Along the Watchtower," which is simply a mistake from the title on down: a watchtower is not a road or a wall, and you can't go along it.[14]

Performances and subsequent releases John Wesley Harding came out at the end of the 1967, on December 27, less than two months after the recording sessions.[15] The song was the second single from the album, released on November 22, 1968, but did not chart. A live recording of "All Along the Watchtower" from the album Before the Flood appeared as the B side of "Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)" in 1974. The recordings came from separate concerts earlier that year at the Forum outside Los Angeles, both with Dylan backed by The Band.[6] Dylan first performed the song live on January 3, 1974, in Chicago on the opening night of his 'comeback tour'.[16] From this first live performance, Dylan has consistently performed the song closer to Hendrix's version than to his own original recording.[16] Michael Gray writes that this is the most often performed of all of Dylan's songs. By Gray's count, Dylan had performed the song in concert 1,393 times by the end of 2003.[16] In recent years, Dylan in live performances has taken to singing the first verse again at the end of the song. As Gray notes in The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia, "Dylan chooses to end in a way that at once reduces the song's apocalyptic impact and cranks up its emphasis on the artist's own centrality. Repeating the first stanza as the last means Dylan now ends with the words 'None of them along the line/Know what any of it is worth' (and this is sung with a prolonged, dark linger on that word 'worth')."[17] Dylan may have followed the Grateful Dead in concluding the song by repeating the first verse; the Dead covered the song in this fashion, with and without Dylan.[18] The original recording of "All Along the Watchtower" appears on most of Dylan's "greatest hits" albums, as well as his two box set compilations, Biograph in 1985 and Dylan in 2007. In addition, Dylan has released four different live recordings of the song on the following albums: Before the Flood, Bob Dylan at Budokan, Dylan & The Dead and MTV Unplugged.

"Crosstown Traffic" (1968)

The Jimi Hendrix Experience began to record their cover version of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" on January 21, 1968, at Olympic Studios in London.[19] According to engineer Andy Johns, Jimi Hendrix had been given a tape of Dylan’s recording by publicist Michael Goldstein, who worked for Dylan’s manager Albert Grossman. "(Hendrix) came in with these Dylan tapes and we all heard them for the first time in the studio”, recalled Johns.[20] According to Hendrix’s regular engineer Eddie Kramer, the guitarist cut a large number of takes on the first day, shouting chord changes at Dave Mason who had appeared at the session and played guitar. Halfway through the session, bass player Noel Redding became dissatisfied with the proceedings and left. Mason then took over on bass. According to Kramer, the final bass part was played by Hendrix himself.[20] Kramer and Chas Chandler mixed the first version of "All Along The Watchtower" on January 26, but Hendrix was quickly dissatisfied with the result and went on re-recording and overdubbing guitar parts during June, July, and August at the Record Plant studio in New York.[21] Engineer Tony Bongiovi has described Hendrix becoming increasingly dissatisfied as the song progressed, overdubbing more and more guitar parts, moving the master tape from a four-track to a twelve-track to a sixteen-track machine. Bongiovi recalled, "Recording these new ideas meant he would have to erase something. In the weeks prior to the mixing, we had already recorded a number of overdubs, wiping track after track. [Hendrix] kept saying, ‘I think I hear it a little bit differently.’”[22] The finished version was released on the album Electric Ladyland in September 1968. The single reached number five in the British charts, and number 20 on the Billboard chart, Hendrix's only top 20 / top 40 entry there.[23] The song also had the #5 spot on Guitar World's 100 Greatest Guitar Solos.[24]

"All Along the Watchtower" Dylan has described his reaction to hearing Hendrix's version: "It overwhelmed me, really. He had such talent, he could find things inside a song and vigorously develop them. He found things that other people wouldn't think of finding in there. He probably improved upon it by the spaces he was using. I took license with the song from his version, actually, and continue to do it to this day."[25] In the booklet accompanying his Biograph album, Dylan said: "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way... Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way." This version of the song appears at number 47 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time[26] , and in 2000, British magazine Total Guitar named it top of the list of the greatest cover versions of all time.[27]

U2 Irish rock band U2 first played a cover of "All Along the Watchtower" during their Boy Tour in 1981. Years later, during the Joshua Tree Tour in 1987, the cover was played for a second time, in San Francisco, California, with an additional verse added by Bono. This performance was later included as a scene in U2's 1988 rockumentary film, Rattle and Hum, and also appeared on the album of the same name. The performance was impromptu, with the band learning the chords and lyrics within minutes of taking the stage, and as a result, there were problems in editing the soundtrack. The song made its way into almost 50 live shows during the band's 1989 Lovetown Tour.

Dave Matthews Band Dave Matthews Band has played the song since the band's inception in the early 1990s.[28] Their rendition maintains Dylan's three chord structure and key signature but differs in style. Dave Matthews typically begins the song slowly with just bass, vocals and acoustic guitar. The band members come in after the line "the hour is getting late", picking up the tempo and intensity. The band's members then take extended solos, culminating with the line, "No reason to get excited." "Watchtower", as it is referred to by the band's fans, is a concert staple, often performed as either a closer or encore. In all, they have covered the song live more than 600 times, including solo performances by Matthews[28] , and it has appeared on six of their officially released live albums, though the band has never released a studio version.

Dionysis Savvopoulos Greek singer and composer Dionysis Savvopoulos's album Ballos (released in 1970) included a version of this song. The lyrics are adapted into Greek. The Greek name of the song is "Paliatsos kai listis", which is a Greek translation for the phrase "the joker and the thief".

Neil Young Neil Young performed a version live, and was joined onstage by The Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde. This version later appeared on Young's live album Road Rock Vol. 1: Friends & Relatives. He has also played this song with the above mentioned Dave Matthews Band and performed it with Booker T. and the M.G.'s at the Dylan 30th Anniversary Celebration (aka "Bobfest") at Madison Square Garden. The subsequent recording of the Dylan tribute was issued in 1993.

"All Along the Watchtower"

Grateful Dead The Grateful Dead performed the song 124 times[29] , first on June 20, 1987. This adds to a lengthy repertoire of Bob Dylan covers by the Dead.

Bryan Ferry Bryan Ferry recorded this song as a demo with Robin Trower in the mid 1990s. He completed the track during sessions in August 2006 for his Dylan tribute album Dylanesque released March 2007.

Pearl Jam After playing the song four different times from 2004–2006, lead singer Eddie Vedder was asked to play the song with The Million Dollar Bashers for the I'm Not There soundtrack. In 2008, it was played 3 times during the band's US East Coast Summer Tour, including the 2008 Bonnaroo Music Festival. In 2009, the band were joined by Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones to perform the song at the Shepherds Bush Empire.[30]

Bear McCreary/Battlestar Galactica Television composer Bear McCreary arranged a version of "All Along the Watchtower" for use in the final scene of the Battlestar Galactica season three finale "Crossroads, Part II". The song was also played in various adaptations in the fourth season, including the series finale. A version with all the lyrics was included on the Battlestar Galactica Season 3 Soundtrack. The lyrics had been written into the screenplay by Ronald D. Moore.[31] Versions of the song are used again throughout the fourth season, including a piano version. The song became a thematic motif as well as a plot element of the show, with lyrics frequently referenced in dialog during many episodes, and with the final scene of the series' last episode playing out to the Jimi Hendrix version of the song.

"Stone Free" is a song by Jimi Hendrix, the first song he wrote.[1] The Jimi Hendrix Experience first released it in December 1966 as the B-side of Hendrix's first single "Hey Joe." In December 1969 "Stone Free" was released as a single in the US, backed with "If 6 Was 9." The song is one of the few songs by Hendrix played in standard tuning.[1] It was written in one night, apparently inspired by a jam session in London. The bass line for the song resembles that the Mar-Keys song "Philly Dog."[2]

"Stone Free"

History "Stone Free" was recorded after the Experience had signed with Track Records, and was paid for with the Track advance. Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp of Track had arranged for the label to be "underpinned" by Polydor Records, which distributed their releases. It was recorded in De Lane Lea Studios on November 2, 1966, and quickly became popular as "a counterculture anthem" with lyrics reflecting Hendrix's restless way of life.[3] The song, a staple of Hendrix's set list, slowly changed form and became looser and longer. Inspired by a long, notable performance in the Royal Albert Hall in February 1969[4] (released in 1982 on The Jimi Hendrix Concerts) Hendrix re-recorded it in April of that year[5] at the Record Plant.[6]

Notable covers, other uses of the title Supergrass recorded a cover of the song that was available on a limited-edition 7" vinyl companion disc to certain packagings of the 12" vinyl release of their debut album, I Should Coco. Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix was also the name of a 1993 Jimi Hendrix tribute album featuring his songs performed by various artists, including Eric Clapton, Living Colour, The Cure and Pretenders. This song is included on the Gran Turismo 3 soundtrack.

"Fire" is a song written and originally recorded by Jimi Hendrix and released on the 1967 Are You Experienced album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

History The 1967 USA Reprise stereo remix of "Fire" was subsequently released as a stereo single in 1969, outside of USA and Canada as "Let Me Light Your Fire." The track has been included on a number of greatest hits collections, including Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Experience. 'The Experience' frequently opened live concerts with this song. Despite its sexual overtones, the song had an innocuous origin, stemming from a cold New Year's Eve in Folkestone, England after a gig. Noel Redding, bass player for The Jimi Hendrix Experience invited Jimi and Cathy as guests at his mother's house. Jimi asked her if he could stand next to her fireplace to warm himself. She agreed, but her Great Dane was in the way, hence the line, "Aw, move over, Rover, and let Jimi take over..." ("Electric Gypsy").[1] The album version of the song contained a very short and simple solo, but through several live performances, Hendrix expanded it. "Fire" was later covered by many artists, such as Alice Cooper; a Top Forty version of the song was released by the pop group Five By Five in 1968. It was used in TV commercials for the 1993 Chevrolet Camaro and the 1999 Pontiac Sunfire, and in 2007 for a commercial for Verizon's V-Cast. A notable band to cover the song are Red Hot Chili Peppers, who started playing it regularly from around March 1983. When the band's original guitarist Hillel Slovak died in 1988, the recording of "Fire" was added as a tribute to their Mother's Milk, released in 1989. The Red Hot Chili Peppers had their version as part of their Woodstock '99 setlist. In their recorded version, they replaced "Oh, move over Rover, and Let Jimi take over" with "Oh, move over Mr. Rover, and let Mr. Huckleberry take over". Since Slovak's death, however, Mr. Huckleberry has been replaced by "Mr. Frusciante", though it has never been said in a recorded version.

"Fire" Another notable cover, by The Real McKenzies, was released on their debut album Real McKenzies (album) in 1995, in a slightly faster tempo and with lyrics not related to those of Fire. Lupe Fiasco has also sampled the song for his own of the same name. Fire was featured as a playable song in the game Lego Rock Band.

"Stepping Stone" is a song by American psychedelic rock musician Jimi Hendrix, featured on his 1972 third posthumous studio album War Heroes. It was originally released as a single in the United States backed with "Izabella" on April 8, 1970 – the last single released by Hendrix before his death. Written and produced by Hendrix, the song was recorded early in 1970 with the short-lived Band of Gypsys lineup of Hendrix, Billy Cox and Buddy Miles.

History "Stepping Stone" first appeared, in part, when Gypsy Sun and Rainbows performed at Woodstock Festival on August 18, 1969, as Hendrix incorporated its rhythm into their long rendition of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". The band made an attempt at recording the song (which was then known as "Sky Blues Today") in the studio on August 30, and it was next touched on during a long studio jam session with Buddy Miles on November 14[1] (see Morning Symphony Ideas). "Stepping Stone" was first played live during the second show at the Fillmore East on December 31, 1969 by the Band of Gypsys, and again during the first show of January 1, 1970.[2] These turned out to be the only live performances of the song. Into 1970 the band continued work on the song at Record Plant Studios, recording three takes with the name "I'm a Man" on January 7, the third of which provided the basic track with which they would work.[2] They revisited the

"Stepping Stone" take on January 20, adding guitar overdubs and renaming it "Sky Blues Today", and another mix was prepared on January 22.[2] More mixing was completed on February 12, and on February 15 the master take, which was later renamed "Stepping Stone" was recorded and subsequently prepared for release with "Izabella".[2] The single, credited to 'Hendrix Band of Gypsys' was released on April 8, 1970 by Reprise Records. Hendrix, being the perfectionist that he was, did not entirely accept the final mix of "Stepping Stone". On June 26, 1970, he and Mitch Mitchell, who had rejoined the band, recorded new guitar and drum parts respectively. With these changes, the song was later released on War Heroes in 1972 and First Rays of the New Rising Sun in 1997.

"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" (1970)

"Angel" (1971)

"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" is the last track on the third and final album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Electric Ladyland. The song is known for its wah-wah-heavy guitar work. It is #101 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 greatest songs of all time.[1] The song was recorded in 1968, and was re-released as a single after Hendrix's death in 1970. It was the A side on a three-track record, and reached Number 1 in the UK. It was catalogued as "Voodoo Chile" (Track 2095 001), and that is the title which appears on the single and is the title referred to officially. This obviously confuses it with the 15-minute song on the album Electric Ladyland. The B-side of the single featured two of his previous hits: "Hey Joe" and "All Along the Watchtower".

Origins and recording The genesis of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" was essentially in "Voodoo Chile", a long blues jam featuring guest Steve Winwood.[2] On May 3, 1968 (the day after "Voodoo Chile"'s recording), a crew from ABC filmed the Jimi Hendrix Experience while they played. As Hendrix explained it: [S]omeone was filming when we started doing [Voodoo Child]. We did that about three times because they wanted to film us in the studio, to make us—"Make it look like you're recording, boys"—one of them scenes, you know, so, "OK, let's play this in E, a-one, a-two, a-three", and then we went into "Voodoo Child".[3] (Technically, the track is in Eb -- Jimi tuned down one half step) The song became one of Hendrix's staples in live performances and would vary in length from 7 to 18 minutes. Notable live performances were at Woodstock and during his 1969 show at the Royal Albert Hall, originally released on the posthumous Hendrix in the West album, later re-released on the Experienced Box Set. On the Band of Gypsys live album Live at the Fillmore East, Hendrix refers to the song as the Black Panthers' national anthem.

Legacy Hendrix's solo was named the 11th greatest solo of all-time in Guitar World's 100 Greatest Guitar Solos; Guitar Legends Issue #46. Hendrix was listed 6 times, more than any other artist on the list. In the same issue Joe Satriani listed this as his favorite guitar solo: "It's just the greatest piece of electric guitar work ever recorded. In fact, the whole song could be considered the holy grail of guitar expression and technique. It is a beacon of humanity." Kenny Wayne Shepherd: "This is pretty much the guitar anthem of all time. From that amazing opening riff to the way he breaks it down in the middle and gets funky, the whole thing is incredible. There are things Jimi did on the guitar that humans just can't do. You can try all day, even if you're playing the right notes, it's not the same. It definitely seems as if he was coming from a higher place when he played."

Cover versions • The song was covered and released by the Argentine band Divididos in their record "Acariciando lo Áspero".[4] The song is usually performed in their concerts.

"Freedom" is a Jimi Hendrix song released in 1971 from the album The Cry of Love. The album, released after his death, was released in 1971 and became a major hit. This was the only single released from the album and was somewhat successful on the charts, reaching number 74 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It is now one of the more popular songs in the Hendrix collection, and is a staple in many compilation works. It was later featured on the 1997 album First Rays of the New Rising Sun.

Interpretation The lyrics "Keep on pushing straight ahead..." towards the end of the song are most likely a reference to the Curtis Mayfield song "Keep On Pushing" from the album of the same name. Mayfield was a major influence on Hendrix, from whom he borrowed much of his R&B rhythm guitar style, as heard on recordings such as "Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)" and "Little Wing". Also, Straight Ahead is a phrase which features on several tracks from the period- and it was one of the titles considered for his final studio album. The recurring use of the phrase may indicate the intent to make a concept album with that title, or may just be a coincidence.

Guitar Hero World Tour As of March 19, 2009, the song, as well as "Angel" and "Foxy Lady (Live At Woodstock)" has been released as downloadable content for Guitar Hero: World Tour in the Jimi Hendrix Track Pack 2.

While it failed to achieve the major success of its predecessor "You Wear It Well," the song still did well in several markets worldwide. Rod Stewart's version of Angel can also be heard in one of the scenes in the 2000 film Charlie's Angels, but is not included in the film's original motion picture soundtrack album. In the United Kingdom, the song charted as a double A-side with "What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me). In 1990 released by Tori Amos on her album "Tales of a Librarian."

"Gypsy Eyes" is a song by Jimi Hendrix, performed by The Jimi Hendrix Experience on their 1968 album Electric Ladyland, and based on the field holler[1] .

Lyrics This song is one of many about Jimi's mother. Jimi had major issues with his mother abandoning him as a child. He has almost romanticized her as being a good mom...and he seems to continually want to know if she loves him. The true story is that of a messed up woman who died young. While Jimi's mother was pregnant, his father was fighting in WWII. Jimi's mom had an affair with a guy named Johnny. Hence, when Jimi was born and his dad Al was fighting in the war, Jimi was named Johnny Allen Hendrix. Jimi's mother basically abandoned Jimi as a baby with relatives. When Al came back from the war, he went searching for his boy. He found him named after himself and his wife's boyfriend. So, he changed his name to James Marshall Hendrix. Jimi spent only little time with his mother before she died when he was a teenager. So as typical with a child, he created a fictional belief of her.

"Gypsy Eyes" The telling verse is as follows: I remember the first time I saw you The tears in your eyes look like they're tryin' to say Oh little boy you know I could love you But first I must make my get away Two strange men fightin' to the death over me today This describes when Jimi's mum left him with relatives and describes the issue with Jimi's Dad and her boyfriend.

Music The song features guitar themes that float between left and right channels. Richard Middleton [2] notes that licks in rock music are often used through a formula and variations technique and that "Gypsy Eyes" "is put together from variants of five stock ideas...familiar from other recordings in the same style." 1. "Drum lick A" 2. "Drum lick B" 3. "A complex of riffs on guitar and bass guitar" 4. "A basic melodic falling pattern, using the notes of the pentatonic scale" 5. "A characteristic guitar effecty, the attacked single note with long decay and glissando fall" He concludes that "the combination and variations of these formulae are many and highly imaginatve. But the basic formulae are so simple that the recording could well have been worked out 'in performance.'"

"Johnny B. Goode" is a 1958 rock and roll song composed by Chuck Berry. It is one of Berry's most important songs, being listed #7 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[1] It reached #8 on the Billboard pop chart.

Recording Written by Berry in 1955, the song is about a poor country boy who plays a guitar "just like ringing a bell," and who might one day have his "name in lights."[2] Berry has acknowledged that the song is partly autobiographical, and originally had "colored boy" in the lyrics, but he changed it to "country boy" to ensure radio play.[3] The title is suggestive that the guitar player is good, and hints at autobiographic elements because Berry was born on Goode Avenue in St. Louis.[2] The song was initially inspired by Berry's piano player, Johnnie Johnson,[4] [5] though developed into a song mainly about Berry himself.[6] Even though Johnnie Johnson played on many other Chuck Berry songs, it was Lafayette Leake who played piano on this song.[7] The opening guitar riff on "Johnny B. Goode" is essentially a note-for-note copy of the opening single-note solo on Louis Jordan's "Ain't That Just Like a Woman" (1946), played by guitarist Carl Hogan.[8] Berry has written 3 more songs involving the character Johnny B. Goode, "Bye Bye Johnny", "Go Go Go", and "Johnny B. Blues"; and titled an album, and the nearly 19 min instrumental title track from it, as "Concerto in B. Goode".

Legacy Berry's recording of the song was included on the Voyager Golden Record, attached to the Voyager spacecraft as representing rock and roll, one of four American songs included among many cultural achievements of humanity. The song was prominently featured in the 1985 film Back to the Future, in which Michael J. Fox's character Marty McFly plays a cover version of the song at a high-school dance when he travels back to 1955 (three years before the song's release). McFly, who subs in for the lead guitarist after he was injured, plays the song on stage. While McFly plays the song, the lead singer, Marvin Berry, calls his cousin Chuck about a "new sound he has been looking for." When Chuck Berry was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986[9] , he performed "Johnny B. Goode" and "Rock and Roll Music", backed by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.[10] . The Hall of Fame included these songs and "Maybellene" in their list of the 500 songs that shaped Rock and Roll.[11] In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Johnny B. Goode" at number 42 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. In 2008, Rolling Stone placed it at #1 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs Of All Time.[12] Guitar World rated the song #12 on the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos list. The song is currently ranked as the #6 song of all time in an aggregation of critics' lists at acclaimedmusic.net.[13]

"Valleys of Neptune" is a song by American rock musician Jimi Hendrix, featured on his 2010 posthumous studio album Valleys of Neptune. Written and produced by Hendrix, the song was originally recorded between 1969 and 1970, and was released on March 8, 2010. The song is featured as downloadable content in the video game, Rock Band, as a playable single. The song was released alongside his album, Axis: Bold as Love, on the week of March 30th, 2010. [1]

"Valleys of Neptune"

Composition and recording Hendrix began work on the musical composition for "Valleys of Neptune", under the title of "Gypsy Blood", in February 1969, with the first recordings taking place at Olympic Sound Studios in London on February 22 & 26, 1969 – three takes on guitar and piano and one take on guitar, respectively.[2] Hendrix wrote the lyrics for the song under the title of "Valleys of Neptune... Arising" on June 7, 1969 while staying at the Beverly Rodeo Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.[3] Bassist Noel Redding left The Jimi Hendrix Experience following a show on June 26, 1969 in Denver, Colorado, at which point Hendrix began to form a new band to continue work on his new compositions. During and following the formation of The Jimi Hendrix Experience successor Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, "Valleys of Neptune" began to take more shape, and the first full-band recording of the song took place on September 6, 1969 at The Hit Factory in New York City.[4] A few weeks later, on September 23, 1969, the first master recording of "Valleys of Neptune" was recorded at New York City's Record Plant Studios with bassist Billy Cox, drummer Mitch Mitchell (later stated by Hendrix and his management as the Experience in 1970) and percussionist Juma Sultan, in addition to seven instrumental takes of the track.[5] Another full take was completed a week later, featuring Hendrix on bass with Stephen Stills on guitar and piano, John Sebastian on guitar and Buddy Miles on drums.[6] Gypsy Sun and Rainbows broke up in late 1969, and the Band of Gypsys was formed with bassist Cox and drummer Miles. The band recorded rough takes of the song on January 21, 1970 at the Record Plant,[7] but ultimately the song was left to the Mitchell/Cox rhythm section of the reformed Experience to complete later in the year. An instrumental take on May 15, 1970 provided the musical master track,[8] and the track featured on the 2010 album was completed. Further recordings took place on June 15, 1970 (with keyboardist Steve Winwood, flute player Chris Wood, drummer Dave Palmer and an unknown bassist),[9] June 16,[9] June 25 (with Juma Sultan),[10] and June 26, 1970 (15 takes).[10] Hendrix died in September 1970, ultimately without completing "Valleys of Neptune" to his satisfaction.

Music video The music video for "Valleys of Neptune", produced by String Theory Design, is centred around a 1957 painting by Hendrix used as the cover for the single, and debuted on AOL's Spinner.com on February 18, 2010.[11]

"1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" (also known as "1983") is a song by English/American psychedelic rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featured on their 1968 third studio album Electric Ladyland. Often recognised as one of the most psychedelic songs written by Jimi Hendrix, "1983" is also the second longest song by the band, surpassed only by the fifteen-minute "Voodoo Chile." The song features Jimi Hendrix on multiple guitars, bass and vocals, Mitch Mitchell on drums, and Chris Wood on flute. Various sound effect overdubs were also added. "1983" details a science fiction scenario of an apocalyptic war and the protagonist/Hendrix's desire to "take our last walk through the noise to the sea" with his female companion in order to escape the destruction.[1] The song segues into "Moon, Turn the Tides...Gently Gently Away", which represents their descent together into the ocean depths.[2] By some, "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" is considered Jimi Hendrix's most philosophical and political song. The lyric of the song talks about a man who awakes and says "hurray" from waking up from yesterday. His

"1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" aim is to be a Merman. For Jimi, a Merman is somebody who walks away from war and oppression and does what the government had told him was against God and the king (meaning the president). Man has been told that he can't live underwater. He can't be against God (meaning the powers that be). Jimi tells us to walk straight into the sea. 1983, the number of a section in the Civil Rights Act of 1871, gives his dream meaning. 1983 isn't a year in this case. It envisions the freedom of man especially the minority man or woman. "Straight ahead" are words that also are voiced in the song "House Burning Down" which is said to refer to the riots following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.[3] . Jimi asks why we are burning down our own neighbourhoods.

"Are You Experienced?" is a song written by Jimi Hendrix and recorded by The Jimi Hendrix Experience for their 1967 debut album Are You Experienced.[1] The song was recorded on April 3, 1967 at Olympic Sound Studios in London, England;[2] the songs "May This Be Love" and "Highway Chile" were recorded on the same day.[2] Described as a "psychedelic symphony", the recording combines backwards and forward recorded guitars and drums.[2] In the lyrics, Hendrix invites the listener to break through and go beyond "your measly little world",[3] to go on a journey, "Trumpets and violins I can hear in the distance, / I think they're calling our names. / Maybe now you can't hear them, but you will, ha-ha, / If you just take hold of my hand",[4] and pleads to answer "yes" to the question, "Have you ever been experienced?".[4] The song is the final track of the album Are You Experienced, except for the latest Experience Hendrix/MCA re-release where the first three singles have been added at the end. It has been covered by Devo for their 1984 album Shout and Patti Smith for her 2007 cover album Twelve. The introductory backward drums and guitar section was sampled by The Pharcyde in their 1993 song "Passin' Me By".

"Bold as Love" is a song by Jimi Hendrix, the final song and title track of the Jimi Hendrix Experience's 1967 album Axis: Bold As Love.

Themes and lyrics Jimi Hendrix, a self-taught guitarist, was unable to read music, and as such often experienced musical and emotional ideas in terms of color (similar to the condition of synesthesia). The lyrics reflect this (Hendrix stated, in explanation of his color-emotion interpretations, "Anger is purple; I'm purple with rage...", paralleling the lyrical reference to the "purple armor" of a personified anger). The piece also has elements of a love song, as Hendrix explained that his usage of color is how "... you explain your different emotions in colours toward this certain girl who has all the colors in the world...".

"Bold as Love"

Recording The song was recorded on a four-track machine. After the initial recording was completed, Hendrix overdubbed harpsichord and additional bass parts. Recording engineers Eddie Kramer and George Chkiantz introduced phased stereo sound, which Hendrix called the sound he had been "hearing in [his] dreams". Noel Redding did say that the song came quite naturally to the group, yet it took 27 takes to fulfill what needed to be recorded. Take 24 can be heard on the box set.

Covers The song was covered by John Mayer in 2006 for his album Continuum. That cover was later performed by the John Mayer Trio on Mayer's live DVD Where the Light Is.

"Castles Made of Sand" is a song written by Jimi Hendrix and released by The Jimi Hendrix Experience on their second studio album, Axis: Bold As Love, in 1967 in the UK and 1968 in the U.S. It was available in two different stereo mixes and a mono mix.

Structure The song is a melancholy meditation on thwarted plans, the first verse features a relationship, the second the death of an Indian boy before battle, and the third a disabled girl who prepares for suicide, only to see a "golden winged ship" passing her way, which causes her to jump up out of her wheelchair and say, "Look, a golden-winged ship is passing my way," therefore, as Jimi states, it didn't have to stop - "it just kept on goin'," causing a happier ending than the former two anecdotes. Each specific occurrence supported by chorus-lines: three slight variations of "...and so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually...". The song is known for its intricate solo, heard on record as being completely backwards in time (at first recorded properly, then reversed on track) and its lack of a conventional chorus.

"Castles Made of Sand"

Interpretation A common interpretation of the lyrics is the message that nothing lasts forever (thus "Castles made of sand fall in the sea eventually"), not only the good things like love, dreams or life, but also the bad, like diseases, death and fears, as shown in the last part of the song. Leon Hendrix, the younger brother of Jimi, has said that Jimi revealed privately to him that the song was about their family[1] . The first verse is their mother leaving their father Al again for the final time. The second verse is referencing his Native American heritage and the stories his grandmother (a quarter Cherokee)[2] would tell him. The boy who played "war games in the woods with his Indian friends" is said to be Leon (as stated by himself) but could also be about Jimi. The third verse recounts Jimi's mother Lucille in the hospital suffering from liver disease, wishing to die so she would suffer no more, "to her legs she smiled you won't hurt me no more." Lucille did have cirrhosis of the liver, but was recovering outside of Hospital, when she was admitted unconscious to hospital, where she died from a ruptured spleen caused by a blow from an unknown source, not a liver complaint as is often repeated, although this was listed as a contributing factor on her death certificate. The song "Little Wing" is also about his mother Lucille as stated by Leon, although in interviews he gave an alternate interpretation, most likely so he would not have to recount painful memories for strangers. Jimi himself said the song was about the Monterey Pop Festival personified as a girl. Locals from the Moroccan town Diabat have claimed that the song title was inspired by the Bordj El Berod-watchtower ruin. This statement however is not likely to be true as Jimi stayed in Morocco in 1969 (Castles Made Of Sand was written in 1967).

Covers The song was covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and a live version was featured on the 1994 B-Sides, Remixes, Outtakes and Live compilation CD Out In L.A.. The same version was released on the 2003 remastered version of their album Mother's Milk. The studio version was recorded in 1991 but was unknown to fans until it was released as an iTunes exclusive bonus track to Blood Sugar Sex Magik in 2006. Four Tet also covered the song for the Late Night Tales mix album. The song was also covered (with "Little Wing") by Tuck & Patti.

"Come On", also known as "Let the Good Times Roll" is a song written and first performed by New Orleans R&B artist Earl King. Jimi Hendrix introduced it to wider audience by his cover in 1968.

Original version The earliest version of this song by Earl King came out in 1960 from Ace Records subsidiary Rex label under the name "Darling Honey Angel Child". In the same year, King left Ace for Imperial Records where he recorded the song again this time with changed lyrics. The recording was released as "Come On Part 1” b/w “Come On Part 2” (Imperial 5713) in 1960.

Cover versions The most well known cover of this song is the one done by The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968. It appears on their third album Electric Ladyland. Hendrix sped up the tempo to give more rock and roll feel, however the original guitar licks remain intact. Dr. John played a bluesy version of the song on his critically acclaimed album Dr. John's Gumbo (1972) under the name "Let the Good Times Roll". He plays the lead guitar on this version. Dr. John also plays it on the live album Right Place, Right Time: Live at Tipitina's (2006) under different arrangement. He plays piano on this one. Freddie King on album "Burglar" (1974) also recorded this theme. Stevie Ray Vaughan covered the song on his third album Soul to Soul (1985). His version is basically a straight cover of the Hendrix version. Steve Miller Band covered the song on their album Bingo! Other artists who did the song include Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets on their first album Talk To You By Hand (1981).

"Ezy Ryder" (sometimes written as "Easy Ryder" and "Ezee Ryeder";[1] also known as "Slow"[2] and "Lullaby for the Summer"[3] ) is a song by American rock musician Jimi Hendrix, featured on his 1971 first posthumous studio album The Cry Of Love. Written and produced by vocalist and guitarist Hendrix, the song's lyrics are said to be inspired by the 1969 film of the same name;[4] The Jimi Hendrix Experience had previously contributed "If 6 Was 9" to the film's soundtrack.[5]

History Early performances An early version of "Ezy Ryder" was first recorded, under the name "Slow", on February 16, 1969 at Olympic Studios, in a session which also featured the debuts of "Room Full of Mirrors", "In from the Storm" (under the name "Crying Blue Rain") and "Here He Comes (Lover Man)", an extended version of "Lover Man".[2] The basic track for the song was not recorded until December 18, 1969 (at New York's Record Plant Studios),[6] [7] on the same day as the rehearsal at Baggy's Studios for the upcoming performances at the Fillmore East (from which the live album Band of Gypsys was produced).[8] "Ezy Ryder" was also performed at aforementioned rehearsal session at Baggy's.[8]

Progression and completion "Ezy Ryder" made its live debut during the first show of the December 31, 1969 performance at the Fillmore East, appearing in the middle of the set between covers of Howard Tate's "Stop" and Elmore James' "Bleeding Heart".[9] It was not performed during either of the January 1, 1970 shows.[10] Back in the studio, "Ezy Ryder" was rehearsed, recorded and mixed a number of times during early 1970, at Olympic, Olmstead and Record Plant Studios.[11] The song was then performed at the majority of dates on The Cry of Love Tour between April and June (and subsequently between July and September),[11] before the first recording session at newly-built Electric Lady Studios on June 15 was focused on advancing the studio version of "Easy Ryder or Ezee Ryeder".[1] This work-in-progress, for which backing vocals by Traffic musicians Steve Winwood and Chris Wood were recorded during said session, was released on the compilation box set The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 2000.[1] Another recording session three days later was also dedicated to "Ezy Ryder",[12] "additional overdubs and mix attempts" were completed on July 2,[13] and final mixes were produced over three days on August 22, 23 and 26, along with the majority of the songs intended for Hendrix's next album.[14] [15] "Ezy Ryder" was subsequently performed at most of the final concerts at which Hendrix played, including the final date at the Open Air Love & Peace Festival on September 6.[11]

Posthumous releases The completed song was originally released on the 1971 album The Cry of Love – the first posthumous album of original material compiled by The Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell and engineer Eddie Kramer.[7] As well as featuring on posthumously released live albums Live at the Fillmore East and Blue Wild Angel: Live at the Isle of Wight, "Ezy Ryder" was included on the 1997 compilation First Rays of the New Rising Sun, along with the rest of the songs from The Cry of Love.[16]

"Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)" (often shortened to "Electric Ladyland") is a song by psychedelic rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featured on their 1968 third studio album Electric Ladyland. Written and produced by vocalist and guitarist Jimi Hendrix (who also played bass on the song), "Electric Ladyland" is written as a tribute to the women in his life who inspired him – "electric ladies", as Hendrix chose to refer to them.[1] [2] The song is the title track of the album, and also shares its name with that of the recording studio designed by Hendrix in 1969 – Electric Lady Studios. It was recorded in April 1968 at the newly opened Record Plant Studios in New York City.[3] [4] Compared structurally to the more well-known "Little Wing",[1] [2] the song is described, by Denise Sullivan of allmusic, as a "soulful ballad" featuring "fluid and always excellent [guitar] playing" which produces a "dreamlike quality".[2] "Have You Ever Been" has also been described as "in the spirit of 'Spanish Castle Magic' and 'The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice'";[1] the vocal performance in particular, "Jimi harmonising falsetto with himself",[1] has also been identified as a highlight of the song – a "magic carpet ride".[2]

"Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland" An alternate take of "Electric Ladyland", recorded on 14 June 1968, was released on the posthumous studio album Loose Ends in 1974 under the title "Electric Lady Land";[4] a previously unreleased instrumental demo of "Electric Ladyland" was featured on the 2000 compilation box set The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

"Highway Chile" is a song by English/American psychedelic rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featured as the B-side to their 1967 third United Kingdom single "The Wind Cries Mary". The song was written by vocalist and guitarist Jimi Hendrix and later appeared on the international version of the compilation Smash Hits, released in April 1968. The song was described, in the book Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy, as "a joyful autobiographical stomp," explaining it as being a story of the pursuit of the American Dream.[1] Matthew Greenwald of allmusic also talks about the song as autobiographical, claiming that "It's easy to see that Hendrix was writing about himself here, and his life as a musician on the road in the R&B/soul "Chitlin' Circuit," and forming his own unique vision and style."[2] Musically, "Highway Chile" has been described as "A funky shuffle [...] a great place for Hendrix's mid-tempo, R&B riffing, based on a blues pattern."[2] The song was released, both on "The Wind Cries Mary" and Smash Hits, in mono; it was made available in stereo for the first time when released on the box set The Jimi Hendrix Experience

"Highway Chile" in September 2000.[2] The use of the word 'chile' is a deliberate misspelling of the word "child", to mimic that Hendrix didn't pronounce the end of the word, which he also used on the song "Voodoo Chile" from Electric Ladyland. A very personnal psychobilly version of that song was recorded by The Lucky Devils 1st album "Time Passes By". The main riff of the song features on the WCW wrestling stable NWOs theme song.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience chronology Are You Experienced (1967)

Axis: Bold as Love (1967)

US Cover

"I Don't Live Today" Are You Experienced is the debut album by English/American rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Released in 1967, it was the first LP for Track Records. The album highlighted Jimi Hendrix's R&B-based, psychedelic, distortion- and feedback-laden electric guitar playing, and launched him as a major new international star. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it #15 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album was an instant success and was the best-selling album in the United States in 1968. In 2005 Are You Experienced was selected for permanent preservation in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress in the United States.

Production Hendrix had formed the Jimi Hendrix Experience in England in 1966, with Mitch Mitchell on drums and Noel Redding on bass, and had signed with Track Records, newly formed by The Who's managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp. The band had recorded three singles produced by Chas Chandler: "Hey Joe"/"Stone Free" (December 1966 released through Polydor Records because Track was not yet operational), "Purple Haze"/"51st Anniversary" (March 1967, the first release by the new Track Records label, on a special white label) and "The Wind Cries Mary"/"Highway Chile" (May 1967). All three reached the Top 10 in the UK. During the making of these singles, the Jimi Hendrix Experience also cut the tracks that became their debut album, which Chandler also produced with the Olympic Studios engineer Eddie Kramer (some tracks were recorded with engineers Dave Siddle at De Lane Lea and Mike Ross at CBS studios).

Release Released in the United Kingdom in May 1967 without the three singles, as was the custom in the UK at that time, the album reached number two in the UK, behind The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Album cover In Europe this LP was released by three different companies: the new "independent" Track Records, which produced the original cover with a picture by Bruce Fleming; the independent Barclay Records in France, which produced a completely different cover featuring a photo of Hendrix performing on a recent French TV show, surrounded by "psychedelic" painted, swirling graphics; and Polydor in Germany, Italy, and Spain. In Germany, Polydor used the original Track Records cover but added "Jimi Hendrix" in similar lime green text above the white Are You Experienced logos on the front; in Italy this added text was red, while in Spain it was yellow. These latter releases featured "fake" stereo, processed from mono. The back cover had a track list added. Barclay Records of France added final punctuation to the album title: Are You Experienced?. Some tracklists of the album also add the question mark to the title track.[1] The South African Polydor release (due to the apartheid racial barrier, and that the main customer base was seen to be "whites") had no pictures, only text on a plain red background (mono only). Japan, Australia and New Zealand Polydor (mono only) copies used the original UK layout.

The Reprise American & Canadian compilation release It was only after the band's show-stealing performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in June of that year that his American and Canadian label Reprise Records prepared the album for release, but with some significant changes. The UK cover was abandoned, and a more psychedelic design was devised by photographer Karl Ferris (whose group portraits appeared on all three the band's US album covers). This is the cover image that most people are familiar with: the fish-eye, infrared color film photograph. Secondly, and more crucially, "Red House", "Can You See Me" and "Remember" were all removed in order to make way for the three UK hit singles, with the running order being shuffled in the process. This time the running order

322

"I Don't Live Today" was selected by Hendrix himself, but "Red House" was excluded from the album against his wishes. He was told that the US and Latin America did "not like the blues". This selection of tracks was also remixed into stereo. In August, the US version of Are You Experienced saw issue in both the original mono mix and the new stereo mix and became a strong and enduring seller. Indeed, Hendrix's own follow-up, Axis: Bold as Love, out that December in the UK, had to be detained for six weeks due to his debut's stellar sales (and it still wouldn't reach its peak of #5 until October 1968).

The CD releases The original Reprise (USA/Canada) CD was originally identical to their original stereo LP version, whereas the European CD release used the original UK track list, but replaced with the Reprise stereo re-mix versions (except for the original mono version of 'Red House', which has never been mixed into stereo and 'Remember', which used the mono version, but processed to "sound stereo"). The 1993 Alan Douglas re-release (MCA 10893) had a chronological track list, starting with the first three UK singles A and B sides replaced by the Reprise stereo mixes (except for "Stone Free", "51st Anniversary", and "Highway Chile") and followed by the original track list of the UK LP. The version of "Red House" included on this CD edition was the same as that originally included on the US LP "Smash Hits" in 1969, and different from the version of "Red House" present on the original Track UK LP. That original Track UK LP version can be heard on the CD "Jimi Hendrix: Blues." It might also be noted that at the end of the version of Red House on the original UK Track LP, a bit of studio dialogue between Hendrix and Chas Chandler can be heard, and that on the "Blues" CD, only a snippet of Hendrix speaking from the beginning of the dialog can be heard. After Jimi's father, Al Hendrix, won back the rights to his son's musical catalogue, Are You Experienced was again re-issued in 1997 (MCA 11602) and 2010, now under Sony Music Entertainment worldwide, preserving the UK and US versions in their respective territories and including the extra tracks missing from the respective editions and restoring the original mono version of "Red House" (minus the dialogue at the end). This new re-mastering was marred by audible crackles through the stereo panning on "Can You See Me", and also, more seriously, on the CD release, by heavy clipping throughout; the vinyl LP release doesn't suffer from the clipping.[2] The current 2010 release only differs slightly, with minor tweaks in the sound with the help from Hendrix's original sound engineer Eddie Kramer.

Reception Are You Experienced has been cited as one of the greatest debut albums of the rock era. The TV channel VH1 named it the fifth greatest album of all time in 2001. In 2003, the US version of the album was ranked number 15 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, having been ranked as number 5 in their twentieth anniversary listing The Best Albums of the Last Twenty Years published in 1987. Guitarist magazine named the album number one on their list of "the most influential guitar albums of all time" in 1994[3] and Mojo magazine similarly listed it as the greatest guitar album of all time in 2003.[4] Creem magazine named the album number six on the Top Ten Metal Albums Of The 60s.[5] Vibe (12/99, p. 156) included it in its list of 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century. NME (10/2/93, p. 29) ranked it #29 in its list of the "Greatest Albums Of All Time".[6]

"If 6 Was 9" is a song written by Jimi Hendrix and recorded by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It appeared on the release of their 1967 album Axis: Bold as Love and on the soundtrack for the 1969 film Easy Rider and the soundtrack for the 1991 film Point Break.

Style and instrumentation The style of the song has been referred to as "acid-fueled blues".[1] The guitar solo is noteworthy for making innovative use of studio technology for the time, with stereo panning from left to right and vice versa, along with other effects, such as slap echo, fuzzbox distortion, and reverb. [2] There is some confusion as to whether Hendrix played a flute or a soprano recorder on this track. The credits list Hendrix as playing flute, but recorder player Rodney Waterman and Joe Vanderford of Independent Weekly refer to Hendrix's instrument as a recorder. Early music enthusiast Nicholas S. Lander maintains that "the high tessitura, the typical 'breaking' between octaves, and other characteristics are more suggestive of a soprano recorder."[3]

"If 6 Was 9"

327

Interpretation The theme has been described as an "individualist anthem".[4] The lyrics portray the underlying conflict of the counterculture of the 1960s: the "social and cultural dichotomies" between the hippies and the "white collared conservative" business world of the establishment. Beginning with a blues riff, the lyrics accompany a "spacey" free-form jam, with Hendrix epitomizing the existentialist voice of the youth movement: "I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die/so let me live my life/the way I want to."[5] Authors Harry Shapiro and Caesar Glebbeek believe the lyrics, "if the mountains fell into the sea" are a reference to the creation myth of the second world of Hopi mythology.[6] Frank Waters' Book of the Hopi (1963) was known to have influenced Hendrix, and many of his songs contain mythological themes and images related to Native Americans in the United States;[7] Hendrix himself was part Cherokee.[8]

Urban legend Various urban legends based on numerology have developed around the meaning of number 9 in the song and Hendrix's subsequent accidental death from asphyxiating on his vomit after taking a mixture of Secobarbital and alcohol in 1970.[9]

Cover versions Notable cover versions include the 1995 release by Bootsy Collins with guitarist Buckethead on Funkcronomicon (released as a single in 1996)[10] and Todd Rundgren's cover on the 1976 album Faithful. Punk-rock band Fifteen also quotes the 'White Collared Conservative Businessman' verse in their song "Brian's Song".

Buckethead, unusually playing a Fender Stratocaster in the music video of Axiom Funk's cover version (1996).

Tori Amos covered this song on the CD Single of "Cornflake Girl".[11] In 1994, the band Beautiful People did a remixed version of the song called "If 60's Were 90's" on their album by the same name.[12] Wolfmother covered "If 6 Was 9" for their 2009 album Cosmic Egg which also was partially recorded at Electric Lady Studios. Maria Pia De Vito covered "If 6 Was 9" on her 2009 album Mind The Gap.

"Little Wing" is a song written by Jimi Hendrix. It was first recorded by The Jimi Hendrix Experience on their 1967 album Axis: Bold as Love. It is ranked #357 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". "Little Wing" is played using the unique chord/melody guitar style that Hendrix developed during his early career stints in rhythm and blues bands. In this style, the guitar sounds as though it is playing two parts. This is done by simultaneously playing multiple complementary notes, often parts of chords, and then changing a note within the chord to create a melodic effect, similar to "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd and "Gimme All Your Lovin'" by ZZ Top. The unusual flanging sound of the lead guitar part is a result of the Doppler effect which is created using a rotating speaker cabinet, or Leslie speaker. The studio version features a glockenspiel. Hendrix's studio version can be found on numerous compilation albums, including The Ultimate Experience (1993). He also performed the song in concert, and some of those recordings are available on CD, including The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

"Lover Man" "Lover Man" Song by Jimi Hendrix Genre Rock, psychedelic rock, blues-rock, acid rock Writer Jimi Hendrix

"Lover Man" (also known as "Here He Comes", "Here Comes Your Lover Man" and variations) is a song written and performed by American psychedelic rock musician and singer Jimi Hendrix. Although a studio version was never officially released until 2010 in Valleys of Neptune, the song was performed many times from as early as 1968, notably at Woodstock Festival in 1969, and Berkeley Community Theatre and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. The tune from "Lover Man" was also used when The Jimi Hendrix Experience covered B. B. King's "Rock Me Baby", which they did a number of times in 1967, most notably at Monterey Pop Festival. In the notes to "Valleys of Neptune' there is a reference to producer Chas Chandler giving Mitchell and Redding the "opportunity to add or replace" their original bass and drum parts for both "Crying Blue Rain" and "Lover Man". In "Lover Man" in particular, Mitchell's new drum track demonstrates his mastery at providing edgy counterpoint to Hendrix's free-flowing style. A studio version of "Lover Man", entitled "Here He Comes (Lover Man)", appears on the compilation South Saturn Delta. This version contains some dialogue at the beginning between Hendrix and an unidentified person (possibly Chas Chandler or Eddie Kramer), before he begins the "long beginning". The song also features a long guitar solo after a couple of verses. "Lover Man" was also featured twice on the four-disc box set The Jimi Hendrix Experience – one an instrumental version just over three minutes in length, on disc one; the other an alternate recording just under three minutes in length, on disc four. The song was recorded many times throughout Hendrix's career, but he never achieved a take he was ultimately happy with.[1]

"Machine Gun" is a song by American musician Jimi Hendrix, featured on his first live album Band of Gypsys (1970). It is a lengthy, loosely defined (jam-based) protest of the Vietnam War,[1] and perhaps a broader comment on conflict of any kind.[2] Although a proper studio recording was never released, there are several other live recordings on album, including Jimi Hendrix: Live at Berkeley and Blue Wild Angel: Live at the Isle of Wight. The Band of Gypsys performance is often lauded as Hendrix's finest, and is widely considered the finest electric guitar performance in the history of recorded music.[3] The Band of Gypsys version of "Machine Gun" is roughly 12 minutes long. Hendrix's long guitar solos and percussive riffs combine with controlled feedback to simulate the sounds of a battlefield, such as helicopters, dropping bombs, explosions, machine guns, and the screams and cries of those wounded or grieving. "Machine Gun" debuted in September 1969 with a performance by Hendrix and his bandmates at that time, drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Billy Cox. The song was broadcast on the Dick Cavett Show the week of September 5. Most known performances are between ten and twenty minutes long, varying somewhat in their lyrics. The improvisatory material revolves around a core descending riff and bassline: the song opens with a Univibe pedal-based guitar riff intended to mimic the sound of a firing machine gun. The memorable bass and drum patterns then commence. The rather sparse lyrics, which differ in every performance, relate the point of view of a soldier fighting in war: Machine gun Tearin' my body all apart Evil man make me kill you Evil man make you kill me Evil man make me kill you Even though we're only families apart

"Machine Gun" Well, I pick up my axe and fight like a farmer But your bullets still knock me down to the ground The same way you shoot me down, baby You'll be goin' just the same Three times the pain And your own self to blame I ain't afraid of your bullets no more, baby I ain't afraid no more After a while your cheap talk don't even cause me pain So let your bullets fly like rain 'Cause I know all the time you wrong, baby And you'll be going just the same In the Band of Gypsys recording, Hendrix's vocals are accompanied by drummer Buddy Miles's vocals. "Machine Gun" is a prime example of Hendrix's use of guitar effects, as most recordings use a wah-wah pedal, an Arbiter Fuzz Face, a Univibe pedal, and an Octavia pedal,[4] as well as heavy feedback. The intro to "Hear My Train A Comin'" at Jimi's Woodstock performance in August 1969 is reminiscent of the "Machine Gun" intro, once again using the Univibe pedal. He used similar vocal lines and riffs in a blues jam mainly beginning at the 12th fret, much like the "Machine Gun" intro. The song was performed twice on Hendrix's "Live at the Fillmore East" album. The first performance was featured in the "Goy's teeth" sequence of the Coen Brothers' 2009 film 'A Serious Man'.

Midnight Lightning version During the writing and recording of (what would have been) Hendrix's fourth studio album, Hendrix began a studio version of "Machine Gun", which was later heavily edited by Alan Douglas and released on the 1975 posthumous album Midnight Lightning. This version, which was some 7.5 minutes long, was not well-received among fans, as Douglas had brought in session musicians to overdub drum, bass and even guitar parts, which had been lacking due to either poor recording quality or damage to the tapes. Although the Hendrix estate gained control of his recordings in 1995 and re-released what are presumed to be authentic recordings of some of songs that Douglas had overdubbed, an unaltered studio version of "Machine Gun" has yet to be released.

Manic Depression is a song written and recorded by Jimi Hendrix and first released in 1967 on the Are You Experienced album. The song's name, Manic Depression, is an old name for bipolar disorder, a mental health disorder. There is no evidence that Hendrix ever suffered from (or did not suffer from) bipolar disorder himself , but when he was doing a press conference in London his manager at the time, Chas Chandler, told him that he sounded like a manic depressive. So the next day Hendrix wrote this tune . One interesting aspect to the song is its unusual meter. Hendrix wrote the song in 3/4, which is a time signature found in classical waltzes. At Winterland in 1968, Jimi explains to the crowd: "I'd like to do a frustrating type of song for you, it's called Manic Depression, a story about a cat wishing he could make love to music, instead of the same old everyday woman." "Manic Depression" has been covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers; Styx; Blood, Sweat and Tears; Tanya Donelly; Carnivore; Nomeansno; David Ryan Harris; Seal & Jeff Beck; Clawfinger; Jan Hammer; Katharina Franck; King's X; Stevie Ray Vaughan; Yngwie J. Malmsteen; Type O Negative; et al.. Emilie Autumn covered the song with her instruments of choice (Electric Violin & Harpsichord). The Hungarian Gypsy band Besh O Drom have a track called Mániás Depresszió on their album Gyi! which uses Hendrix's tune. Rozz Williams and Gitane Demone released a very different version of Manic Depression on their album Dream Home Heartache. Singer/comedian Sandra Bernhard combined the song with the song "Everything's Alright" from the musical Jesus Christ Superstar to create the song Manic Superstar on her album Excuses For Bad Behavior (Part One). In 2006, jazz fusion guitarist Larry Coryell covered the song from his album "Traffic."[1] [2]

"Manic Depression" There is also an unrelated song called "Manic Depression (Jimi)" by Ian Dury and the Blockheads on their album Laughter. The distinctive first three notes were sampled into MC Twix's 1989 song Devastatin 2 Yo Ear. [3]

"My Friend" is a song written and recorded by Jimi Hendrix in New York City in 1968 during the recording sessions for Electric Ladyland. The song was first released in 1971 on the posthumous album The Cry of Love and later appeared on the CD First Rays of the New Rising Sun. It was mixed posthumously by Hendrix's engineer Eddie Kramer. Because it was left unreleased at the time it was recorded some people have raised doubts if Hendrix had ever intended to use that song on any of his albums. The recording of "My Friend" combines a humorous song with sound effects to create a bar or nightclub atmosphere. Hendrix' friend Paul Caruso (mistakenly listed as a fictitious 'Gers' on the L.P.) plays harmonica on "My Friend".[1] [2] . In late 1966 Frank Zappa had used the same ideas to record "America Drinks and Goes Home" on the album Absolutely Free. This song parodied Zappa's own experiences playing with drunken bar bands in the early 1960s. Songs with a similar effect were recorded by The Rolling Stones, On With The Show (1967) and The Beatles, You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) (recorded in 1967 and 1969, released in 1970.) As with many Hendrix songs, this one is introspective. The main idea behind the song is that Jimi began to believe the only "true" friend, the one that will be with him through good and bad times, is his own shadow. Everyone else were "hangers-on" and wanted something from him.

"One Rainy Wish" (also known as "Gold and Rose") is a song by English/American psychedelic rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featured on their 1967 second album Axis: Bold as Love. The song was written by lead vocalist and guitarist Jimi Hendrix based on a dream that he had in which "the sky was filled with a thousand stars [...] and eleven moons played across the rainbows," according to the song's lyrics.[1] Shortly after the release of Axis: Bold as Love, "One Rainy Wish" was featured as the B-side to "Up from the Skies", released in February 1968.[2]

Background and style "One Rainy Wish" was "one of Jimi [Hendrix]'s many songs born out of a dream".[1] The style of guitar playing displayed by Hendrix is said to be reminiscent of that of American jazz guitarists Jim Hall and Wes Montgomery, according to fellow guitarist Mike Stern, who said the following about the song:

“

His playing is so lyrical. It has that same singing quality that I dig in Jim Hall's playing or Wes Montgomery's playing. But the thing about Hendrix was that he had that sound, he could achieve that lyrical feeling with a fatter sound on his Strat than you could get with a regular [3] hollow-bodied jazz guitar.

”

In the Hendrix biography Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy, the song is described as "creak[ing] with radical harmonies and rhythmic concepts, not least the fact that the verse is in 3/4 time while the chorus is in 4/4."[1] "One Rainy Wish" was recorded sometime midway through the Axis: Bold as Love sessions, in October 1967, at Olympic Sound Studios with producer Chas Chandler and engineer Eddie Kramer.[4]

"One Rainy Wish"

Reception In reviews of Axis: Bold as Love, "One Rainy Wish" has generally been positively regarded. In a review for the BBC, critic Chris Jones noted the song as one of the album's examples of Hendrix's "loveliest lyrics,"[5] while allmusic reviewer Cub Koda described the song as a "beautiful, wistful ballad."[6]

"Performances and adaptations of the Star-Spangled Banner"

"Performances and adaptations of the Star-Spangled Banner" In the course of the adoption of The Star-Spangled Banner as the national anthem of the United States, a variety of people have either sung or performed the anthem using a variety of instruments and methods. Some of these methods include using only one instrument, such as a guitar or trumpet. Other methods have included singing the anthem using different vocal ranges or even changing some of the words to show support for a home team or for an event. However, veterans groups have spoken out on occasion about these recordings, mainly calling them disrespectful to the country and to the anthem.

Versions Igor Stravinsky's unconventional major seventh chord in his arrangement of the Star-Spangled Banner led to an incident on January 15, 1944 with the Boston police, but "Boston Police Commissioner Thomas F. Sullivan said there would be no action."[1] "After Stravinsky conducted it with the Boston Symphony for the first time in 1944, the police informed the composer of a Massachusetts law against tampering with national property[2] , and removed the parts from Symphony Hall."[3] The incident soon established itself as a myth in which Stravinsky was supposedly arrested for playing the music[4] . One of the most controversial renditions of the anthem was Jimi Hendrix's solo guitar performance at the 1969 Woodstock Festival. Hendrix played the anthem with a number of distorted regressions (such as mimicking planes, bombs, and screams in reference to the Vietnam War), to great acclaim from the audience. The performance still has a number of detractors. It was voted 52nd on the list of the 100 greatest guitar solos of all time by readers of Guitar World Magazine. Hendrix also recorded a studio version of The Star-Spangled Banner some time before Woodstock festival. That version features numerous guitar tracks played through octave shifting effects. The studio version is available on the Rainbow Bridge album and Cornerstones collection. An early controversial version was performed by José Feliciano at the 1968 World Series, a rendition that Feliciano has said negatively affected his career.[5][6] His Latinized approach did not sit well with everyone, but Detroit Tigers announcer Ernie Harwell, a musician in his own right, liked it and defended it (as noted in the CD collection, Ernie Harwell's Audio Scrapbook.) Another famous rendition of the anthem was that of Marvin Gaye at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game at The Forum in Inglewood, California. Gaye's highly soul-flavored performance also received much acclaim from the crowd. Prior to Game 5 of the 1986 World Series, Smokey Robinson performed the national anthem before switching to the final four lines of America the Beautiful after "...That Our Flag Was Still There." This was the first that both the national anthem and America the Beautiful were arranged into the same song and melody. Other notable blendings of both songs included those by the Whiffenpoofs prior to the 1989 World Series opener and by singer Natalie Cole at Super Bowl XXVIII. The entire crowd at Madison Square Garden cheered loudly when New York Rangers anthem singer John Amirante sang a stirring rendition of the Canadian and American national anthems before the Rangers win over the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals.[7] (The NHL requires arenas in both the U.S. and Canada to perform both "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "O Canada" (Canadian national anthem) at games that involve teams from both countries, a practice that has also been picked up by Major League Baseball.[8] ) Five years later, when Wayne Gretzky played his final game, Amirante changed the line of "O'er the land of the free" to "O'er the land of Wayne Gretzky" to reflect Gretzky's retirement.[7] Robert Merrill sang the national anthem at seven World Series games, more than any other performer, and all seven came at Yankee Stadium: in Game 3 of the 1976, 1978, and 1999 World Series, at the 1977, 1981 and 1996 World

341

"Performances and adaptations of the Star-Spangled Banner" Series openers, and Game 2 of the 1998 World Series. Allusions to the tune appear in a number of classical works. For example, Richard Wagner's American Centennial March, commissioned for the centennial of U.S. independence in 1876, appears to repeatedly quote part of the theme. Sergei Rachmaninoff arranged it for solo piano. The beginning of the song is also used in the beginning of the march titled National Emblem. Giacomo Puccini used the opening notes as a motif throughout his opera Madama Butterfly. The Pneu World for cello and piano, H.163 (1925) by Frank Bridge is a parody on the opening bars of The Star-Spangled Banner.[9] The Mormon Tabernacle Choir's recorded version solved the range problem as any mixed choir might—with the male voices carrying the main melody in the lower part of the range, and the female voices carrying the upper part of the range while the male voices provide lower-keyed harmony. The MTC version also contains a rare singing of the fourth verse as well as the first. Composer John Williams wrote two new arrangements; one for the Rose Bowl and one for a Red Sox playoff game at Fenway Park. Chicago Cubs public address announcer Wayne Messmer has performed the anthem on many occasions before Cubs games at Wrigley Field. HSN fitness guest and ICON Health & Fitness' own Kristie Belliston (originally named Kristie Brooks), a native of Spring Hill, Florida, sings the same with the US Army Field Chorus' rendition, while Jeremy Strom, a native of Chicago, Illinois, also sings the same with the US Army Field Chorus' rendition. HSN plus-size model Regina Marlow sings the same with Jerry Stackhouse's rendition of the anthem. Belliston sings the anthem before a few Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tampa Bay Rays games. Strom sings the anthem before a few Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, and Chicago Blackhawks games.

Notable errors, changed or forgotten lyrics Perhaps the most infamous rendition of the national anthem came from comedienne Roseanne Barr, who sang it at a San Diego Padres baseball game in August 1990. As her voice was not well liked by the audience, because either she has little singing ability or because she purposefully botched the performance, the large crowd heckled her and threw objects onto the field in her direction in disgust. Her poor performance might have been forgotten, except that she appended a couple of gestures associated with baseball players (adjusting one's protective cup and spitting on the ground), which drew widespread complaints, including from then-President George H.W. Bush. She has not been asked to sing again at a baseball game since.[10] In 1993, Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis attempted to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" before a Nets game. Lewis sang the entire song off-key and at a range too high for his voice. After his voice broke on the word "glare," he stopped and said "Uh oh," then said "I'll make up for it now" near the end of the song. He was widely ridiculed for the incident. ESPN SportsCenter anchor Charley Steiner described Lewis' version of the national anthem as being written by "Francis Scott Off-Key". When performing the anthem before a game in the 2003 American League Championship Series at Fenway Park, singer Michael Bolton briefly forgot the lyrics and had to look at his hand, where he had apparently written them down for reference.[11] On April 25, 2003, during an NBA game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Dallas Mavericks, Trail Blazers' coach Maurice Cheeks aided 13-year-old Natalie Gilbert in singing the National anthem. After Gilbert forgot the words at "At the twilight's last gleaming", Cheeks rushed over to help her and they finished it together, as the entire Rose Garden crowd sang with them. Cheeks and Gilbert received a standing ovation after the song was over. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith was invited to sing the national anthem at the 2001 Indianapolis 500. His performance, however, was widely criticised when after singing "free" he sang some kind of phrase leading into "bam-de-la-bam-bam", and also he changed the lyrics of the last line from "...the home of the brave" to "the home of the Indianapolis 500."[12] [13]

Robert Goulet forgot the lyrics when invited to sing the anthem before one of Muhammad Ali's championship bouts in the 1960s.[10] He was often chided for this, usually by people who were not aware that he was Canadian by birth. In 2002, pop-singer Anastacia sang the national anthem before the 2002 MLB All-Star Game In it, she sang "perilous night" instead of "perilous fight". This was the first in a long line of debacles that night after all of which the game ended in a 7-7 tie. In 2006, as Aretha Franklin was singing the anthem at Super Bowl XL, with Aaron Neville and Dr. John, after singing "free", she said "yes". R&B legend Anita Baker was criticized for her performance of the Star-Spangled Banner at Game 4 of the 2010 NBA Finals.[14]

Whitney Houston version (Super Bowl XXV) "The Star Spangled Banner" became a charity single recorded by Pop/R&B singer Whitney Houston and produced by music director Rickey Minor, along with Houston herself, to raise funds for soldiers and families of those involved in the Persian Gulf War. Houston performed "The Star Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XXV in 1991. The recording of her live performance was released as a single in the U.S. on February 12, 1991 and as the Gulf War was drawing to a close, and it peaked at number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100. Its B-side was "America the Beautiful". The single's video comprises footage from the recording of Houston's performance at the Super Bowl in 1991. The song would not be released elsewhere until it appeared on Whitney: The Greatest Hits in 2000. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Arista Records arranged a re-release of Houston's version of "The Star Spangled Banner" (again with "America the Beautiful" as the B-side), with all profits going towards the firefighters and victims of the attacks. It peaked at number six on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA. The two single releases of Houston's version are the only times the anthem has ever appeared on the Hot 100.

"Red House" is a blues song, written by famed guitarist Jimi Hendrix and originally recorded by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. There are two different takes of this song: the original version (mono) that appeared on the UK issue of Are You Experienced?, and the alternate version (stereo) featured on the 1969 USA Smash Hits compilation on which bass player Noel Redding plays electric guitar tuned down to resemble a bass guitar. Despite Hendrix's complaints, the song was omitted from the USA issue of Are You Experienced because the recording company reportedly argued that "America does not like blues". The original mono take became available in the USA & Canada when it was released (minus most of the chat at the end) on the posthumous Blues album. The alternate stereo take (3:50) recorded around the same time, was unavailable outside of USA & Canada until the Kiss The Sky CD compilation. The Blues album also features a live studio jam version - onto which Hendrix's introduction from a different jam has been dubbed - "Electric Church Red House". This was recorded by Jimi at TTG Studios in LA on 10/29/68 with Buddy Miles on drums and featuring Lee Michaels playing Hammond organ. While playing Red House at Woodstock, Hendrix snapped his high E-string in the middle of the performance and kept playing the second half of the song with just five strings. "Long" versions of the song like the Woodstock rendition are generally about 6–10 minutes. One of the longest live versions of the song is a nearly thirteen-minute long version on 5/24/69 at the San Diego Sports Arena, which is found on Hendrix in the West, a live album sampling four different shows. A studio recorded version of 8 minutes 35 seconds appears on the Valleys of Neptune album.

"Red House" "Red House" was inspired by Hendrix's first love Betty Jean Morgan and the New York apartment where Hendrix first met Keith Richard's then-girlfriend Linda Keith.[1] The song has been covered by many other blues musicians, and is widely regarded as a blues standard to be judged by. On the album Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy covers this song. Albert King covers it on an album named after the song. Also, John Lee Hooker has played the song and it appeared on the Dirty Bones Band live CD Stronger Than Dirt. Grammy Award-winning rock band Toto covered this song on a live album; they continue to play it live to this day. Paul Gilbert also covered it on the album Gilbert Hotel. Johnny Winter frequently covers it live. Gary Moore did a version for the 50th Anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster Guitar celebration at Wembley Arena in 2004 that can easily be found on the internet. At the concert for the opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium in 1995, Red House was sung by Boz Scaggs, with Slash playing guitar. While performing on the G3 tour, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and both Eric Johnson and Yngwie Malmsteen (during the 1996 and 2003 tours respectively) covered the song. Red House was covered in a unique way by Prince on his DVD "Rave until the year 2000", together with Maceo Parker and Johnny Lang. Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry has played the song a few times on their recent tour. He sings the lead vocals.

"Spanish Castle Magic" is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Written by Jimi Hendrix and produced by Chas Chandler, it is the third track from their second studio album Axis: Bold as Love.

Lyrics The song was inspired by Jimi's high school days (roughly 1958-1961), when he regularly visited a dance hall called The Spanish Castle. The club was south of Seattle in what was then unincorporated King County (now Des Moines, Washington). The Spanish Castle was built in the 1930s outside the city to avoid Seattle's then restrictive nightclub laws. By 1959 it began featuring top local rock groups, such as The Wailers and occasional touring stars. Events at The Castle were hosted by Seattle's best known DJ of the time, Pat O'Day. Jimi had the opportunity to play with other musicians at the club on several occasions. Hendrix would later describe his frustration getting to the club, saying, "(The bass player) in the band had this beat-up car, and it would break down every other block, on the way there and back..." hence the line, "Takes 'bout a half a day to get there..." In the days when Jimi visited the club there was no freeway between Seattle and Des Moines, so the drive was much longer than today. It was not until the mid 1960s that Interstate 5 linked the two towns. The Spanish Castle was demolished in April 1968. Rock critic Dave Marsh said about the song “Once you know the legend of the Wailers at the Castle and the facts of Jimi’s attendance there, the lyrics of his ‘Spanish Castle Magic’ seem haunted by homesick nostalgia. ‘It’s very far away, it takes about half a day/to get there/if we travel by...dragonfly,’ he sings, in the voice of a kid stranded a

"Spanish Castle Magic" couple continents from home.”

Music The music alternates between aggressive, thickly textured guitar lines during the intro, choruses, and solos, and a riff played in rhythmic lock step by guitar, drum and bass during the verses.

Cover versions The song has a considerable following otherwise, being covered by various artists of several styles including a cover by Latino Rock guitarist Santana and the Finnish band Hay and Stone, as well as guitarist Yngwie J. Malmsteen who performed the song live on his album Trial by Fire. MDC recorded a cover of Spanish Castle Magic on their album, "Millions of Dead Cops/More Dead Cops" Spin Doctors also covered the tune on the album Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Hiram Bullock covered this song on his "World of Collision" Album. A cover of the song was playable in the 2005 video game Guitar Hero, but the song featured was instrumental, as the Hendrix estate did not want Hendrix's distinct voice to be impersonated.

"The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice", also known as "STP with LSD" and various related abbreviations and shortenings,[1] is a song by English-American psychedelic rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featured as the B-side to their 1967 fourth single "Burning of the Midnight Lamp". Written by vocalist and guitarist Jimi Hendrix, the song was later featured on the 1968 compilation album Smash Hits and the 1997 posthumous South Saturn Delta compilation.

Recording "The Stars That Play..." was first recorded by The Experience at Houston Studios in Los Angeles, California in late June 1967, with a number of demos taped between June 28 and 30.[2] With the recording of "...Midnight Lamp" taking place throughout July, with the single completed by July 20, the B-side was also completed at the same time, with the basic track recorded on July 19 and additional overdubs and mixing taking place on July 29.[3] The track features a largely unidentified group of people referred to as "The Milky Way Express" providing backing vocals, whistles and other sounds, which is said to include musician Frank Zappa.[1] The song was also the first recording released by Hendrix to feature his subsequently characteristic wah-wah sound.[1]

Background and release According to Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy, "...Laughing Sam's Dice" was "hardly commented upon at the time [of the release of "The Burning of the Midnight Lamp" single] – dismissed as a good-time joke with lots of guitar to fill up the B-side."[4] Due to its title, it has been suggested in later years that the song is a reference to (and possibly even influenced by) the hallucinogenics STP ("Stars That Play") and LSD ("Laughing Sam's Dice"), which were also said to be significant in the development of psychedelic music.[4] Further on the background of the song, the following has been proposed:

“

Jimi [Hendrix] was developing into a seasoned traveller in the metal territories of psychedelic experience. No mind tourist he. Like so many others, from his use of mainly LSD flowed an interest in the occult science, I Ching, astrology, numerology and colour as sound. But like any traveller who knows the roads, Jimi also knew the potholes. He had tried to persuade Fay [Fayne Pridgeon, a former love interest of Hendrix's] and her friends not to take as much [LSD] as he because they weren't used to it. The passenger on Jimi's joyride did not heed the warning about opening Aldous Huxley's Doors of Perception without due regard to the dangers of sensory overload – and he certainly didn't have his [5] parachute.

”

"The Stars..." has also been compared to "Spanish Castle Magic" and "Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)", insofar as being a song which embodies a "magical mystery tour spirit."[6] The song was originally released as the B-side to the "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" single, released in the United Kingdom and some parts of Europe on August 19, 1967,[1] which reached number 18 on the UK Singles Chart.[7] The song was later featured on the international (non-North America) edition of the Smash Hits compilation released in April 1968,[8] and posthumously on the 1997 South Saturn Delta album.[9]

"Anyone For Tennis" (1968)

"Sunshine of Your Love" is a song by the British supergroup Cream, released on the Disraeli Gears album. It was Cream's best-selling song and Atlantic Records' best-selling to date as well. It features a distinctive guitar/bass guitar riff and an acclaimed guitar solo from Eric Clapton. It was written by bassist Jack Bruce, lyricist Pete Brown, and guitarist Clapton.

"Sunshine of Your Love"

Development Development of the song began in January 1967 when Bruce and Clapton attended a Jimi Hendrix show at the Saville Theatre in London. Inspired by Hendrix's performance, Bruce returned home and wrote the memorable bass riff that runs throughout the song. Most of the lyrics to "Sunshine of Your Love" were written during an all-night creative session between Bruce and Brown, a poet who worked with the band: "I picked up my double bass and played the riff. Pete looked out the window and the sun was coming up. He wrote 'It's getting near dawn and lights close their tired eyes…'"[4] Clapton later wrote the chorus ("I've been waiting so long…") which also yielded the song's title. Clapton's guitar tone on the song is created using his 1964 Gibson SG guitar and a Marshall amplifier. It is also believed that a Vox Clyde McCoy Picture Wah is placed fully in the bass position for the solo section. The song is renowned among guitarists as perhaps the best example of his legendary late-'60s "woman tone", a thick yet articulate sound that many have tried to emulate. For the solo Clapton quoted the opening lines from the pop standard "Blue Moon," creating a contrast between the sun and the moon. Drummer Ginger Baker's distinctive, slow, downbeat-stressing drum beat forms a key element of the song. Unlike most standard rock beats which have a bass drum on 1 and 3 with a snare on 2 and 4, the beat in "Sunshine" is played almost exclusively on tom-toms, emphasizing beats 1 and 3. At the end of the song the rhythm is dramatically increased, with Baker (as well as the other two) abandoning the song's progression and simply jamming over an open A chord. Engineer Tom Dowd later claimed to have suggested the drum part, but Baker insists that he was indeed the one who came up with the drum pattern and didn't receive writing credit: "not even a thank you!" The band's publisher, Atlantic Records, initially rejected the song. Booker T. Jones, leader of Booker T. and the MG's and a respected Atlantic musician, heard the band rehearsing the song in the Atlantic studios and recommended it to the record company bosses. Based on this recommendation, Atlantic approved the recording.

Chart success "Sunshine of Your Love" was the band's first big US hit. In the US, this first charted in February, 1968 at #36. With the release of the new album Wheels of Fire in August, it re-entered the chart and went to #5.[5] In England the single was less popular reaching only #25, which was lower than two of their previous singles, "I Feel Free" and "Strange Brew," which reached #11 and #17, respectively.[6]

Appearances in popular culture The song appears on the soundtracks of the movies School of Rock, Goodfellas, Uncommon Valor, and True Lies. The opening riff also appeared at the end of the Futurama episode "The 30% Iron Chef" after Bender offers to make the crew a brunch laced with LSD. The riff also appears in The Simpsons episode "Mother Simpson", played when Mona Simpson sees Joe Namath's long hair. In the 1985 movie The Breakfast Club, the opening riff is air-guitared by character John Bender. It is a playable track in the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. It is also in the Johnny Knoxville movie The Ringer.

"Sunshine of Your Love"

Legacy In 2004, the song was named the 65th greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Sunshine of Your Love" at number 19 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. In 2009 it was named the 44th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.[7]

Personnel • Jack Bruce: Vocals & bass guitar • Eric Clapton: Vocals & guitars • Ginger Baker: Drums

Solo versions Jack Bruce performed the track live at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester on June 1, 1975 and released it on Live '75.[8] Another live version was released on Cities of the Heart and was performed during Jack's 50th birthday concerts in 1993.[9] Jack Bruce also recorded the song with Peter Frampton on guitar on the Ringo Starr All-Starr Band tour 1997-1998. On the Jack Bruce album Shadows in the Air the song was covered with Eric Clapton on guitar.[10]

Versions by other performers Jimi Hendrix performed "Sunshine of Your Love" as a setlist staple throughout his 1968 and 1969 concerts, employing wailing guitar riffs in place of the lyrics and ending the song by dramatically slowing the tempo to a grinding halt, as well as including leitmotifs from other Cream songs such as "Outside Woman Blues". Recordings of the song can be found on Experience Vol. 1, The Last Experience Concert: Live at the Royal Albert Hall as well as the 2010 release Valleys of Neptune in their entirety (slightly less than seven minutes) and in a truncated version on BBC Sessions. During a January 1969 appearance on the "Happening for Lulu" television show, Hendrix halted his band near the end of the set and broke into "Sunshine of Your Love", running the show past its scheduled end time. This moment inspired Elvis Costello's rendition of "Radio Radio" on Saturday Night Live in 1977. Blood, Sweat & Tears also used the riff in their song "Blues Part II," and a cappella singer Bobby McFerrin recorded a voice instrumental version of the song on the album Simple Pleasures (1988), in which he replicates Clapton's guitar solo using only his vocals and some effects processing. Ella Fitzgerald also recorded a version in 1968. The trippiness of her rendition might be compared with that of The 5th Dimension's, which appeared on the vocal group's The Age of Aquarius LP. A version (with some sexually-charged lyric changes) performed by Frank Zappa (and band) appears on his The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life album, along with a cover of Hendrix' frequent staple "Purple Haze" and a number of other covers. English sludge band Fudge Tunnel recorded it on their album Hate Songs in E Minor in the 1990s. Living Colour recorded their take on the song in 1994 for the True Lies soundtrack, which also appears on their Everything Is Possible: The Very Best of Living Colour 2006 compilation album. "Sunshine of Your Love" was also given a skanking up-tempo cover by Bim Skala Bim on the Tuba City (1989) album. Hardcore band Earth Crisis released a live version on their Best-Of album Forever True. The song was also covered by Ozzy Osbourne on his 2005 cover album Under Cover. Former Kyuss drummer Brant Bjork covered this song with his band Brant Bjork and the Bros on their double-album Saved by Magic.

354

"Sunshine of Your Love" The riff appears at the end of the noise section of "Dead Bob" by Nomeansno on the album Sex Mad. It is also borrowed by Alexander 'Skip' Spence at the end of the song "War In Peace" from his 1969 cult album Oar. A hard rock cover of the song can be heard in the third season of Family Guy the episode of Mr. Saturday Knight. Funkadelic recorded a cover of the song for their album By Way of the Drum in 1984, but this album was shelved until its release in 2007. Trini Lopez included "Sunshine Of Your Love" on his Reprise Records album The Whole Enchilada (Reprise 6337). The song was covered as a hard rock version on the Goo Goo Dolls's eponymous debut album. Also, this song received a rapcore version in Thousand Foot Krutch's first album, That's What People Do. The Syracuse, New York straight edge hardcore group Earth Crisis, covered the song on their live album The Oath That Keeps Me Free. American rock band Toto covered it on their 2002 cover album Through the Looking Glass. Elvis Costello and The Police covered Sunshine of Your Love for Costello's show Spectacle: Elvis Costello with.... Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, James Franco and Shaun Weiss perform the song various times in Freaks and Geeks during the episode I'm With the Band. Chilly played a disco version of the song on the album Come To L.A. in 1978 Australian guitarrist and singer Orianthi covered the song for Believe (II), the re-release of her album Believe.

Third Stone From the Sun is a song written and originally recorded by Jimi Hendrix and released as "3rd Stone From The Sun" on the 1967 Are You Experienced album by Jimi Hendrix Experience. It is mostly an instrumental, but includes pieces of spoken word, performed by Hendrix, over the music. Because the song mixes the styles of rock and jazz, it is often cited as one of the earliest examples of fusion. The title 3rd Stone From the Sun is a direct reference to Earth, which is the third planet away from the Sun in the Solar System. The song features slowed-down voices and dialogues between Hendrix and his manager Chas Chandler. They wanted to reproduce the spacy sounds from Star Trek. The word Stone in the title was a way to depict the Earth from an alien point of view. This song, along with "Purple Haze," was frequently covered live by Jaco Pastorius. Part of the guitar chorus melody has been quoted on other records, amongst them The Amboy Dukes ("Baby, Please Don't Go"), Cozy Powell ("Dance With The Devil"), Weather Report ("Slang"), The Allman Brothers ("Mountain Jam"), Devo (a cover of Hendrix's "Are You Experienced"), Bruno Blum ("Bruno Blum Bruno Blum Bruno Blum") and Right Said Fred ("I'm Too Sexy"). Guitarist Joe Satriani's 2002 album and music publishing company are both The often-quoted guitar chorus melody.

"Third Stone from the Sun" named "Strange Beautiful Music" which is a twist on a lyric from Third Stone From The Sun ("strange beautiful grass of green").

Dialogues With the track sped-up by a factor of two (or playing the 33 1/3 RPM LP at 45 RPM), one can clearly hear what is said, especially at the beginning of the song. The version heard on The Jimi Hendrix Experience: 1966-1967 begins with the overdub session for the dialogue, including Hendrix and Chandler's first "verse" at regular speed, including two incomplete outtakes: • • • • •

Hendrix : Star fleet to scout ship, please give your position. Over. Chandler : I am in orbit around the third planet of star known as sun. Over. Hendrix : May this be Earth? Over. Chandler : Positive. It is known to have some form of intelligent species. Over. Hendrix : I think we should take a look,(Jimi then makes vocal spaceship noises).

On the original mono version (titled "3rd Stone From The Sun") the last line is buried by a normal speed overdub of Jimi saying "War, speak water" followed by a very quiet "Speak" (He later used this unusual phrase in 'Freedom' "You've got my heart, speak electric water") this was removed from the Stereo version in favour of revealing the last line - "I think we should take a look" The later stereo mix reveals more slowed talk e.g. "Yeah, a acid drop can make people fly" etc. Towards the end of the song, which was the only instrumental on the album, Hendrix, in what has been popularly perceived to be a taunt to the popular music of the period, says, "To you I shall put an end, then you'll never hear surf music again." According to popular surf musician Dick Dale in the liner notes of Better Shred Than Dead: The Dick Dale Anthology[1] , the line "Then you'll never hear surf music again" was Hendrix's reaction upon hearing that Dale was battling a possibly terminal case of colon cancer, intended to encourage his comrade to recuperate. Dale, in gratitude to his late friend, later covered this song as a tribute to Hendrix. This interpretation is given some credence in the aforementioned overdub sessions which reveal two additional sentences: • Hendrix: ...Then you'll never hear surf music again. That sounds like a lie to me. Come on, man; let's go home.

"Voodoo Chile" is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience from the album Electric Ladyland. Recorded on May 2, 1968 at the Record Plant Studios in New York City, the recording session included Mitch Mitchell, drummer of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Steve Winwood of Traffic on B3 organ, and Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane on bass duties. The song, basically a 15-minute blues jam, evolved into the final product over the course of an hour. After many of the late night Electric Ladyland recording sessions, Hendrix and the band went to one of the New York City clubs to jam with whoever was there. One such jam at The Scene Club included Steve Winwood and Jack Casady. Noel Redding was not present as he had stormed out of the Record Plant studio earlier that evening. They spent the night playing "Voodoo Chile", and when the club closed, Hendrix invited everyone back to the studio. At about 7 a.m. the next morning they began to formally record "Voodoo Chile". It took only three takes and the final 15 minute version was Hendrix's longest studio recording. The second take did not come out well, since a string broke. The first and second takes are used in "Voodoo Chile Blues" that is a combination of two takes released on Hendrix leftovers-album called Blues. While "Voodoo Chile" sounds like a live recording, the crowd noise was actually recorded afterwards. Some twenty people were brought to the studio to record appropriate background noise. The song evolved over time from a song called "Catfish Blues" which Hendrix also called "Experiencing the Blues", an homage to Muddy Waters. The song was made up of a medley of verses based on Muddy Waters' songs,

"Voodoo Chile" including "Rollin' Stone", "Still a Fool", and "Rollin' and Tumblin'". The song "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" appears on the same album. A signature Hendrix number, "Slight Return" has been heavily covered by guitarists (and others) in the four decades since its recording and release. The use of the word 'chile' is a deliberate misspelling of the word "child", to mimic that Hendrix didn't pronounce the end of the word, which he also used on the song "Highway Chile".

"Wait Until Tomorrow" is a song by English/American psychedelic rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featured on their 1967 second album Axis: Bold as Love. Written by lead vocalist and guitarist Jimi Hendrix, the song details the scenario of a male protagonist addressing his female love with whom he plans to leave home, only to be shot dead by her father. Despite not being released as a single, "Wait Until Tomorrow" has been recognised as one of the strongest songs on the album.[1] [2]

Background and style "Wait Until Tomorrow" was one of the first "situation song[s]" written by Hendrix and is said to be influenced by soul artists such as The Isley Brothers (with whom Hendrix performed before forming The Experience)[1] and stylistically similar to guitarist Steve Cropper.[3] A "head-on boy–girl song,"[3] "Wait Until Tomorrow" was one of the final songs recorded for the album on October 26, 1967, before the album was completed with the recording of title track "Bold as Love" three days later.[3] In a review for music website allmusic, Matthew Greenwald described the progression and style of the song thus:

"Wait Until Tomorrow"

361

“

A great bass and guitar duet is the core riff, and, as usual, Hendrix builds up to gentle and entertaining crescendos from there. Lyrically, the song finds Hendrix writing a situation song, creating characters in the first person. This was one of his first attempts at this, and it's fun [1] listening to him stretch his songwriting abilities.

”

Reception Reviews of Axis: Bold as Love have generally mentioned "Wait Until Tomorrow" in a positive light. Matthew Greenwald of allmusic identifies the "playful song" as "one of the low-key highlights" of the album,[1] while Parke Puterbaugh of music magazine Rolling Stone describes it as a "taut, funky, could've-been-hit."[2] In reviewing the album for the BBC, Chris Jones summarised "Wait Until Tomorrow" as "a wry, funky little tale,"[4] while Sputnikmusic reviewer "Broken Arrow" had the following to say about the song:

“

The intro is light and quick, [with a] guitar part and a real heavy bass [line] that only consists of one note but really adds to the intro. As Jimi [Hendrix]'s vocals and Mitch [Mitchell]'s drums come in the band goes into more of a groove. After a nice guitar fill that resembles the intro the extremely catchy chorus comes with some nice background vocals. The intro theme gets repeated a few times in the song before every [5] verse. Mitch plays some very nice fills in this song and keeps a solid beat throughout [it]. 4/5

"Lost Girl" (1965)

"Wild Thing" (1966)

"With a Girl Like You" (1966)

"Wild Thing" is a hit song written by New York City-born songwriter Chip Taylor and originally recorded by The Wild Ones in 1965.[1] The song is best known for its 1966 cover by the English band The Troggs, which reached the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1966. The song charted one position lower in Britain, reaching #2. The song as sung by The Troggs is ranked #257 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Composition The song's central guitar riff is immediately recognizable and frames the central lyric: Wild thing – You make my heart sing – You make everything ... groovy The music stops for the counter lyric: Wild thing, I think I love you... But I WANNA KNOW for sure. So come on, and hold me tight – I love you The Second counter lyric is as follows: Wild thing, I think you move me

"Wild Thing" But I WANNA KNOW for sure So come on, and hold me tight You move me The song is in the key of A major, and is based around the chord progression (I - IV - V - IV), which is the basis for the main riff, and the instrumental parts during the chorus. However, the guitars are not strictly tuned to middle C in the Troggs version and the slightly sharp tuning causes the chords to actually be midway between A and Bb. This has, of course, mystified many guitar players trying to play along with the record. The middle eight was originally someone whistling, but in the Troggs' version this was replaced by Colin Fretcher, musical director, playing an ocarina.

Troggs single The Troggs version was recorded in mono in one piece on the second take at Olympic Studios which was then at Carton Street, off Baker Street in London, by engineer Keith Grant. Because of a distribution dispute, the Troggs single was available on two competing labels: Atco and Fontana.[2] Because both pressings were taken from the identical master recording, Billboard combined the sales for both releases, making it the only single to simultaneously reach #1 for two companies.[3] On the ATCO label, "Wild Thing" is credited to Reg Presley (Troggs' lead vocalist) and "With a Girl Like You" (its flip side) to Chip Taylor. The author credits are reversed. On the Fontana label, "Wild Thing" is credited to Chip Taylor and the flip contains a different song, "From Home", credited to Reg Presley. The Fontana label credits production to Page One Productions, England while the ATCO label credits production as "A Larry Page Production, Recorded in England".

Other versions The song has remained popular ever since The Troggs' hit single, and has been covered again many times — perhaps most notably by Jimi Hendrix, whose stage performance of the song was featured in the 1967 documentary Monterey Pop. Hendrix recorded the song live and it can be heard in the compilation album The Ultimate Experience. In 1967, the novelty team of Senator Bobby released a version of "Wild Thing". Sung by comedian Bill Minkin in the verbal style of Democratic Senator Bobby Kennedy while a recording engineer is heard giving instructions, the stammering single charted at #20 in the United States. The flip side of the Senator Bobby 45 featured "Senator Everett McKinley" (an impression of Republican Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen) doing the same song; the initial voiceover by the recording engineer encourages Senator Bobby to respond to his "hit single" (the Senator Everett McKinley version also had some radio airplay at the time). The songs were credited to The Hardly-Worthit Players, and the Senator Bobby version was included as a bonus track on reissues of their 1962 Parkway LP called The Hardly-Worthit Report (the rest of the album is a comedic takeoff on the NBC national news broadcast The Huntley-Brinkley Report). The British group Fancy recorded a version of the song in 1974, which reached #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. The British comedy troupe The Goodies recorded a version of the song, and performed it during a 1976 episode of their television series. In 1983 the song was covered by the psychobilly band The Meteors for their Wreckin' Crew album, and was also performed by the Australian pub band Cold Chisel during their Last Stand concert. Sister Carol did a reggae version in 1986. The Runaways performed a live version of the song on their live album, "Live in Japan". Drummer Sandy West sang on the track. Comedian Sam Kinison recorded a hit novelty version in 1988, with a music video featuring cameos from Rodney Dangerfield as well as many well-known rock musicians including Steven Tyler and Joe Perry from Aerosmith, Slash, Billy Idol, Steve Vai, Dweezil Zappa, Sebastian Bach, Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi of Bon Jovi, and Tommy Lee, and a raunchy "roll on the mat" dance with Jessica Hahn.

X was used in the 1989 film Major League and its 1994 sequel, Major League II. The 1990 cartoon version of the comic book character Swamp Thing had a theme song that parodied the song, with the lyrics "Swamp Thing! You are amazing!" Cheap Trick recorded the song for the soundtrack to Encino Man in 1992, possibly as a tribute to Kinison who had died that year. The Troggs recorded a new version in 1993, which charted in the lower reaches of the British charts. A cover version was recorded by Hank Williams, Jr. in 1995. Australian rock group Divinyls covered the song in 1993 for the soundtrack of the movie Reckless Kelly. Prince interpolated the chorus of the song into his cover of Tommy James and the Shondells' "Crimson and Clover". Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed the song on numerous occasions during their Working on a Dream Tour. The Swedish rock band Trash Cans made a cover of Wild Thing in 2010.

Use in sports, television and film The 1989 baseball film Major League used "Wild Thing" recorded by L.A. punk band X as the theme song for Rick Vaughn, the team's erratic relief pitcher. Life soon imitated art, when the Philadelphia Phillies closer Mitch Williams adopted the song for his entrances from the bullpen, including in the 1993 World Series. During the late 2000s, the song is played at Fenway Park whenever Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon comes in from the bullpen, followed by "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by the Dropkick Murphy's. In 1992, the Troggs' version was used in the film D2: The Mighty Ducks. That same year a version by Cheap Trick was used for the film Encino Man. In 2003, Aerosmith recorded a version of the song with a video, which was used for commercials and teasers advertising ABC's coverage of the NFL Wild Card playoffs. In the UK the song was used heavily by television programme "You've Been Framed", for clips generally involving animals. Japanese Pro Wrestler Atsushi Onita used the X cover of the song as his entrance theme. The song was featured in a prominent scene in the 1997 miniseries Painted Lady featuring Helen Mirren. In 1998, the song was used in The Vicar of Dibley episode Love and Marriage - the choir at St. Barnabus' Church sang the song after Hugo and Alice made their vows and were pronounced man and wife. In the Full House episode, "Just Say No Way," Jesse Katsopalis plays this song with the marching band at DJ's school dance (replacing Dogface, a popular high school band, who broke up hours beforehand). The title of the 1986 film Something Wild was itself an inversion of the song title. The film features a scene where two main characters (played by Jeff Daniels and Melanie Griffith) pick up some hitch-hikers in their convertible and the party then sing "Wild Thing".

"You Got Me Floating" You Got Me Floating (or You've Got Me Floating; You Got Me Floatin') is a song composed by Jimi Hendrix. The Jimi Hendrix Experience recorded it in 1967 and released it on their album Axis: Bold as Love. Allmusic describes the song as the "purest pop song" in Hendrix's body of work.[1] The song has also been performed by Hiram Bullock, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Patron Saints, and PM Dawn. A heavy metal version was performed by Eric Burdon since 1994. It's still part of his recent setlist.

Electric Ladyland Tour (1968–1969)

The Cry of Love Tour (1970)

The Cry of Love Tour was a United States concert tour by American rock singer-songwriter and guitarist Jimi Hendrix, which ran from April 25 to September 6, 1970. The tour turned out to be the last on which Hendrix performed before his death in September, and featured many songs that he was working on for his double album First Rays of the New Rising Sun. Though the band did not feature original bassist Noel Redding, the trio of Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell (drums) and Billy Cox (bass) were often billed as "The Jimi Hendrix Experience".

Band members The original Experience broke up in June 1969, after bassist Noel Redding left the band. Hendrix subsequently formed Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, which famously performed at the 1969 Woodstock Festival. After only two more performances, the band split up; Hendrix kept bassist Billy Cox and formed the Band of Gypsys with drummer and vocalist Buddy Miles. After a similarly short run, the trio disbanded, and Hendrix and Cox re-recruited drummer Mitch Mitchell to form what was often billed as "the new Jimi Hendrix Experience". The band was later dubbed "The Cry of Love", a name taken from the tour and the album on which they performed. • Jimi Hendrix – lead vocals, guitar • Mitch Mitchell – drums • Billy Cox – bass, backing vocals

Sample set list The set lists on The Cry of Love Tour consisted largely of new songs being worked on by Hendrix, including "Lover Man", "Room Full of Mirrors", "Machine Gun" and "Ezy Ryder". A number of songs from his original albums with The Jimi Hendrix Experience were still present, however, such as "Fire", "Red House", "Purple Haze" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". The following is the set list from the band's May 9 concert at the Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas, which serves well as a sample set list for the tour. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

"Fire" "Lover Man" "Hear My Train A Comin'" "Foxy Lady" "Room Full of Mirrors" "Red House" "Freedom" "Ezy Ryder" "Machine Gun"

10. "The Star-Spangled Banner" 11. "Purple Haze" 12. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" "Fire" and "Lover Man" were regularly used as the first songs in performances, and "Purple Haze" and "Voodoo Child" were regularly used as the last. A number of concerts featured "Spanish Castle Magic" as the opening song, and in the later dates songs like "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)", "Stone Free", "Hey Joe" and "All Along the Watchtower" were introduced. "Straight Ahead" and "Midnight Lightning" also made their live debuts, both at the May 30 Berkeley concerts.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience tour chronology French Tour 1966

UK Tour 1967

The French Tour 1966 (officially untitled) was a short concert tour by American psychedelic rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The tour began on October 13, 1966, concluded on October 18, 1966 and featured four shows.[1] On all four dates, The Experience were supporting Long Chris, The Blackbirds and Johnny Hallyday; The Brian Auger Trinity also performed, before headliner Hallyday, on the final date.[1]

Band members The 1966 tour of France marked the first show performed by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, on October 13. This was only one week after the formation of the band, after drummer Mitch Mitchell joined on October 6.[1] • Jimi Hendrix – vocals, guitar • Noel Redding – bass • Mitch Mitchell – drums

Set lists The set lists for the first three dates of the tour remain unclear, though are known to have included "Hey Joe", planned as the band's first single; Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor"; "Land of a Thousand Dances", popularised by Wilson Picket; Otis Redding's "Respect"; and "Have Mercy Baby", most recently recorded by James Brown.[2] "Killing Floor" and "Hey Joe" were retained for the final date at the Olympia, to which rock standard "Wild Thing" was added as a finale; this was the first Experience performance recorded.

Associated places 34 Montagu Square, Marylebone 34 Montagu Square, Marylebone was the address of a London basement flat, owned by Ringo Starr of The Beatles during the mid-1960s. Its location is conveniently close to Abbey Road Studios, where the band recorded. Starr leased the flat in 1965, before his marriage to Maureen Cox. Before long he and Maureen moved to a new home, Sunny Heights, outside London, but Starr chose to keep the lease. Paul McCartney had Ian Sommerville install recording equipment (including two Revox reel-to-reel tape machines) at one point, planning to use the place as a studio hideaway. Sommerville The gardens in the middle of Montagu Square recorded writer William S. Burroughs there,[1] but discouraged other interested persons, believing he was working for McCartney exclusively.[2] McCartney later gave up the flat and it remained empty until Ringo rented it to Jimi Hendrix in December 1966.[3] Starr also lent the flat to other pop stars and friends over the next few years, when they needed a place to stay in London. John Lennon's mother-in-law Lillian Powell stayed at Montagu Square, rather than at Kenwood, when she came to visit daughter Cynthia Powell. When Lennon got together with Yoko Ono in 1968, he moved out of Kenwood and the two lived in the flat for the next several months, as the Beatles's "White Album" was being made. Lennon and Ono's experimental Two Virgins album had been recorded at Kenwood, but its notorious nude cover photos were taken at Montagu Square. The couple also gave an early interview to Rolling Stone, when journalist Jonathan Cott visited the apartment. Ono was pregnant during their stay, and the two were also in the throes of heroin addiction. In the autumn, the flat was raided by London's Drugs Squad, and police dogs discovered hashish on the premises. Both were arrested, and Lennon pled guilty to hashish possession, absolving Ono, who miscarried their unborn baby not long after. After the police raid, the landlord sought an injunction against Starr, forbidding anyone but Starr or his family to live there, and allowing no music or instruments to be played. Starr appealed, and a compromise was reached; only Starr or a family member would live in the flat. Nonetheless, Starr never used the place again, and sold his lease during 1969.

Electric Lady Studios Electric Lady Studios, at 52 West 8th Street, in New York City's Greenwich Village, is a recording studio originally built by Jimi Hendrix and designed by John Storyk in 1970. A variety of artists have recorded music there, including John Lennon, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Carly Simon, The Clash, Peter Frampton, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Al Green, Dave Matthews Band, Christina Aguilera, Bad Religion, Stevie Wonder, Cactus, Goldfrapp, Greezy Wheels, Billy Cobham, Curtis Mayfield, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Lou Reed, Mandrill, Muse, Arctic Monkeys, The Early Years, Sinéad O'Connor, Billy Joel, Billy Idol, Nas, The Mars Volta, Frank Zappa, Mike Oldfield, The Magnetic Fields, Guns N' Roses (Chinese Democracy sessions), Elkie Brooks, Patti Smith, John McLaughlin, Kiss, Van Halen, Weezer, Interpol, Ryan Adams, Steve Earle, Monster Magnet, The Pink Spiders, Deee Lite, Chris Braide, Rancid, D'Angelo, Wolfmother, Miley Cyrus, The Big Pink, Erykah Badu, Common (as well as the majority of the Soulquarians), and Metric.

History In 1968, Hendrix and his manager Michael Jeffery had invested jointly in the purchase of the Generation Club in Greenwich Village. Their initial plans to reopen the club were scrapped when the pair decided that the investment would serve them much better as a recording studio. The studio fees for the lengthy Electric Ladyland sessions were astronomical, and Jimi was constantly in search of a recording environment that suited him. Construction of the studio took nearly double the amount of time and money as planned: permits were delayed numerous times, the site flooded due to heavy rains during demolition, and sump pumps had to be installed (then soundproofed) after it was determined that the building sat on the tributary of an underground river. A six-figure loan from Warner Brothers was required to save the project. Designed by architect and acoustician John Storyk, the studio was made specifically for Hendrix, with round windows and a machine capable of generating ambient lighting in myriad colors. It was designed to have a relaxing feel to encourage Jimi's creativity, but at the same time provide a professional recording atmosphere. Engineer Eddie Kramer upheld this by refusing to allow any drug use during session work. Artist Lance Jost painted the studio in a psychedelic space theme.[1] Hendrix spent only four weeks recording in Electric Lady, most of which took place while the final phases of construction were still ongoing. An opening party was held on August 26, 1970 and the following day Hendrix created his last ever studio recording: a cool and tranquil instrumental known only as "Slow Blues". He then boarded an Air India flight for London to perform at the Isle of Wight Festival, and died less than three weeks later.

Electric Lady Studios Electric Lady Studio's address at 52 West 8th Street has a long history. It was previously inhabited by Abstract Expressionist artist, Hans Hofmann. Known as the "Village Barn", he began lecturing there in 1938, eventually retiring from teaching in 1958 to paint full time.

Popular culture Electric Lady Studios was prominently featured in the movie Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist where a series of scenes were shot inside the actual recording studios. Nick (Michael Cera) and Norah (Kat Dennings) make multiple mentions during their visit there of the historical nature of the studio, and list many factual references to the multitude of artists who recorded there.

Associated people Monika Dannemann Monika Dannemann (June 24, 1945 – April 5, 1996) was a German figure skater and painter and was the last girlfriend of American rock guitarist/singer Jimi Hendrix.

Figure skating In 1965 she participated in the German Figure Skating Championships representing the club Düsseldorfer EG. She came in 16th position. She never participated in Europeans or Worlds.

Hendrix and his death Dannemann was first introduced to Hendrix after being invited to one of his concerts. After that meeting, a relationship blossomed. She would later claim that Hendrix had asked her to marry him and would have done so had he not died. Dannemann is known for being the last person to have seen Jimi Hendrix alive. On the morning of September 18, 1970, he was found dead in the basement apartment of the Samarkand Hotel, 22 Lansdowne Crescent, London, where Dannemann and Hendrix spent the night together. Hendrix died in bed after taking a reported nine Vesperax sleeping pills and asphyxiating on his own vomit. Police and ambulance reports from the time reveal that Hendrix was dead when they arrived on the scene, the apartment's front door was wide open, and the apartment itself empty. Dannemann claimed Hendrix was alive when he was placed in the back of the ambulance. However, her comments about that morning were often contradictory and confused, varying from interview to interview. The case was re-examined by UK police and Dannemann was never blamed for Hendrix's death, although she was held under a cloud of suspicion by others close to Hendrix. In the book, The Final Days of Jimi Hendrix, author Tony Brown theorizes that Dannemann was directly or indirectly involved in the death of Jimi Hendrix. David Henderson, author of the biography Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky: The Life of Jimi Hendrix, claims that Dannemann waited several hours before she called an ambulance, and that the ambulance driver noticed a scarf tied tightly around Hendrix's neck when he arrived. Another of Hendrix's girlfriends, Kathy Etchingham, continued with more suggestions that blame should be put on Dannemann.

After Hendrix After Hendrix's death, Dannemann became romantically involved with German rock guitarist Ulrich Roth, formerly of the Scorpions, with whom she collaborated on several songs (notably "We'll Burn the Sky") and album cover designs and artwork. Roth also wrote the foreword to Dannemann's 1995 book about her experiences living and working with Hendrix, entitled The Inner World of Jimi Hendrix. The front cover featured a photo of Hendrix taken by Dannemann on the afternoon of his death. After his death Dannemann held onto Hendrix's famous black Stratocaster (nicknamed Black Beauty by Hendrix). It was kept in its case until 1993, when it was examined by Len Jones. It only saw daylight for 3 hours until it was fitted back into its case. Dannemann then disappeared with it.

Monika Dannemann

Death In 1996 Dannemann was convicted of breaking a British High Court order not to repeat allegations that Kathy Etchingham was an "inveterate liar" for accusing her of playing a role in Hendrix's death. Etchingham asked the judge to jail Dannemann but she was released. Two days later Dannemann was found dead in a fume-filled Mercedes-Benz near her cottage in Seaford, East Sussex, aged 50. Her death was ruled a suicide,[1] though Uli Jon Roth suggested that foul play may have been involved, as Dannemann had received numerous death threats following Hendrix's death. It is rumoured that Hendrix's black Stratocaster is now kept in storage by Roth, but this has never been confirmed.

Karl Ferris Karl Ferris Born

Hastings, Sussex, England

Nationality British Field

Photography

Karl Ferris is an English photographer/designer, best-known as one of the principal innovators of "psychedelic" photography. A photographer to the “British Rock Elite” - Eric Clapton, Cream, Donovan, The Hollies and Jimi Hendrix - Ferris was invited - as a style consultant and their personal photographer - to help create their public images. He was given an insider's access to the “Experience” that helped define the look of the 1960s and influence youth culture and lifestyles worldwide.

Early years As a post World War II baby who grew up in Hastings, England in the 1950s, Ferris learned two things that would later affect his life - the first being the history of Hastings, which had been conquered by the Normans in 1066. This spawned an interest in this medieval period of history and young Karl would bicycle around Norman castles fantasizing about battles, knights, chivalry and heraldry. The second thing he learned was an appreciation of art, with some of his early paintings included in a show at the Hastings Museum. He later went on to study at Hastings College of Art, focusing on the Pre-Raphaelite style of painting which would later influence his psychedelic photography of the late 1960s. After school, and with dreams of traveling to India, Ferris signed up as a steward on a P&O liner that went to Australia via India. After returning to England, he served two years with the Royal Air Force for his National Service (Conscription) as an aerial photographer, where he often flew in jet fighters operating the gun camera during dog fight practice. During this period he became friends with a fellow conscriptee who was a member of a Liverpool “Mersey Beat” group, and he was introduced for the first time to this type of music.

"Are You Experienced?" Jimi Hendrix, front and back covers

He was invited back to Liverpool to see a new group - The Beatles who were appearing at the Cavern Club and was introduced to them there. From that point, he was hooked on “Beat” music from which The Beatles took their name. After his military service, Ferris immigrated to Vancouver, Canada working as an assistant there to master photographer Harry Nygard. From Nygard, Karl learned the skills of composition, form and texture. "Electric Ladyland", double gatefold cover, both He also began an involvement in the “Beatnik” lifestyle and began sides hanging out in coffee bars, listening to poetry readings and the progressive jazz of such artists as Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy and Ornette Coleman. He photographed his first music subjects at these gatherings for local newspapers and magazines. He also began to take fashion shots of girlfriends and models, building

up a respectable portfolio. Nygard told him that he had a real talent in this area, but to further expand his portfolio, he should return to London where the “Mod” fashion scene was creating new opportunities in the world of arts, music and fashion. In 1964 Karl returned to England and the “happening” Beat scene. Ferris received commissioned work as a fashion and cover photographer for teen magazines 19 and Petticoat and later for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, French Mode and Marie Claire. These commissions brought him to such locations as Paris, Cannes, Munich, Ibiza and Morocco. When he wasn’t working he would join into the “Scene”, and after meeting (and eventually dating) Denmark’s top “superstar” model of the time (Maude Bertelsen), Karl was introduced to a Pop group called the “The King Bees” who invited him to sing cover versions of Rolling Stones songs with them, and so he began touring in and around Copenhagen with this group.

He eventually returned to England for a “fashion shoot” offer with Vogue. In 1966 The Beatles had just released “Rubber Soul” and Karl had the chance to meet up with their official photographer, Robert Freeman, who encouraged Ferris to experiment with different styles of images - which he promptly did – and created his unique psychedelic style. That summer on a trip to the Spanish island of Ibiza he discovered and began shooting the innovative psychedelic fashion work of designers Simon Posthuma and Marijke Koger – aka The Fool (design collective) - and these photos were eventually printed in the fashion section of The Times. This was the first time such psychedelic photography and fashions had been seen anywhere. He and The Fool were then invited to come to London to shoot some more “Psychedelic” fashion features. From this work, Ferris received many commissions. He also began working on “Psychedelic Happening shows” during which moving images of colored liquid and photographs were projected over freeform dancers. The likes of Paul McCartney, Graham Nash, Eric Clapton, T Rex, Pink Floyd and John Lennon dropped by and began participating - by playing music - with these shows. In 1966, Ferris was also invited to do a stage "Liquid light show" for Pink Floyd, which is believed to be one of the first ever done in England.

"The Jimi Hendrix Experience", 2000 box set

Ferris meets Jimi Hendrix Ferris was introduced to guitarist Jimi Hendrix in 1967 through musician/producer Chas Chandler, who had “discovered” Hendrix. Karl received the compliment of a lifetime when Hendrix remarked to him, on seeing his portfolio, “You‘re doing with photography what I’m doing with music - going far out beyond the limits and blowing minds”.

Hendrix then asked Ferris to be his photographer and to re-shoot the cover for the UK version of his album “Are You Experienced” – which he was unhappy with - for the US market. Hendrix said he wanted “something psychedelic to blow the minds of the fans” and that represented his music and style. And so Ferris began experimenting, using a giant Nikon fisheye lens and a secret Infrared film that had just been released by the military, who had used it for U2 plane spying. This film was given to him by Kodak London who had seen his color experiments going through their Lab. The manager asked Karl if he could find some way to use the Infrared film commercially, so he started using it on Fashion and Rock shoots. Kodak was so please with the results that they gave Karl his first exhibit in their London gallery. Out of this experimentation came the famous “fisheye” photograph used for Jimi’s first US record album cover, which he also designed. His images then appeared on all three US "Experience" album covers released during Hendrix’s short life “Are You Experienced?”, “Axis Bold As Love”, “Electric Ladyland” and the Japanese "Smash Hits". Karl went on to create the album cover images for Donovan’s “Gift From A Flower To A Garden”, “Wear Your Love Like Heaven”, “For The Little Ones” and “Hurdy Gurdy Donovan E.P.” and (again, partnering with The Fool) for The Hollies' “Evolution”. He was also instrumental in creating their overall looks for the shoots, which then became their recognized public images. During the years 1967-69, Karl Ferris was one of the preferred photographers to the British rock elite, shooting also many publicity photos for them. He was called "The Icon with the Nikon" by the musicians and Press back then.

"Wear Your Love Like Heaven", front cover

"Hurdy Gurdy Donovan", front cover

In 1968, Ferris accompanied Donovan on his U.S. tour and was commissioned by LOOK Magazine to shoot a feature article on Donovan, after which he was retained as a 'Stringer' in Europe to shoot images for music articles there. In 1969, Karl's Donovan psychedelic shots were featured in an article in TWEN, the famous German art magazine.

1970’s through 2000 Karl left London with his pregnant wife Anke in 1970 and went to live in Ibiza to bring up their son Lorien in that idyllic setting. Joni Mitchell visited Karl in Ibiza in 1970 on the recommendation of Graham Nash "Evolution", The Hollies, the first psychedelic photo cover and was photographed by Ferris. Karl continued shooting fashion and glamour photographs for magazines in Europe and the USA. In 1980, Ferris received a commission from Playboy Magazine to photograph "Welcome Back Kotter" star Melonie Haller (John Travolta's love interest and the only female “Sweathog”) for a "Celebrity Pictorial" in the famous Bo Derek issue. In 1983, Karl married Melonie and they went to live in Hampstead, London near Karl's original 60's studio. In

Karl Ferris 1984, a daughter Melissa was born in London, and during this time in the U.K., Karl worked shooting glamour and nude photos for Oui, Club and the Raymond Revue. In 1990, Karl was commissioned by Playboy in the Netherlands and Germany to shoot glamour layouts for them. Later, in 1995, Karl and Melonie returned to the U.S. and lived in the New York area, where Melonie Haller-Ferris took on various acting rolls in film and television.

2000 to present In 2000, Ferris returned once again to the Vancouver, Canada area and established his new studio and publishing company there. Working alongside with famed illustrator Bob Masse, Karl’s best-known works have been reproduced in a new series of posters and fine art prints that recreated promotional posters of many of the events that Ferris had photographed in the 60’s at such iconic London concert venues as the Royal Albert Hall and Saville Theatre and featuring acts such as Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Donovan. Also in 2000, Karl was commissioned to supply three of his original 1967 Hendrix photographs for cover and inside booklet of the ultra-premium "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" box set. In 2003 Ferris began his quest to revisit a time in music that defined a generation with “The Ferris Experience Happening”. Exhibiting his famous record album cover photographs and a psychedelic multimedia video and slide show, the first of these “Happenings” opened in Vancouver, Canada at The Exhibitions Gallery. It was be the first time in 35 years that such an exhibition had been staged. In 2005, Karl’s Happening show and photo gallery exhibit began a tour of major cities in the U.S., starting with the San Francisco Art Exchange and continuing in Toronto and other cities in 2006. Also that year, Karl was asked by the Hip-Hop group Sweatshop Union to shoot and design the album cover for their record titled United We Fall. They admired his “60s-style” approach to photography and wanted something “Beatle-esque” for their new album’s cover image. In 2006, a feature film documentary called "Revolution" went into production (to coincide with the 40th anniversary of "the Summer of Love"). Also in 2006, Karl's film company Helixus Productions started to film a feature documentary and mini-series called "Revolution - The Cultural Revolt of the Sixties and its Continuing Legacy” which explores the origin, flowering and long-term influence of psychedelia, a subculture that in the 1960s achieved a mass influence.. This film includes over 100 interviews with many of the era’s key innovators and will show how revolutionary new art forms were created as an expression of the counterculture and utilized as a tool for tearing down the existing establishment. A sample of interviews included: musicians Donovan, Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac), Willie Nelson, Paul Kantner (Jefferson Airplane), Keith Emerson, John Densmore (Doors), Patrick Simmons (Doobie Brothers) George Hunter (Charlatans) and Mickey Jones (Dylan's 1st Electric Band), Woodstock MC Wavy Gravy. designers Alan Aldridge (Beatles), Storm Thorgerson (Pink Floyd), Alton Kelley, Stanley Mouse (Grateful Dead), Klaus Voorman (Beatles), John Van Hamersveld and The Fool (Simon and Marjke), models Patti Boyd and Charlotte Martin, Jenny Boyd, actor/activist Peter Coyote, “Summer of Love” exhibit curator Christoph Grunenberg, photographers Astrid Kirchherr (Beatles-Hamburg), Bob Seidemann, Gered Mankowitz (Rolling Stones), Bob Whitaker (Beatles) and Herb Worthington (Fleetwood Mac)and many others, The documentary is a serious investigation of the phenomenon and long-term impact of this cultural shift. In addition to the featured interviews, the film will also include music, period stock footage and current footage of locations of many of the events covered in the film (as well as many psychedelic images which are used as transitions). The film is scheduled to be released in early 2010. In 2009, a book "The Karl Ferris Psychedelic Experience" of his Psychedelic Hendrix, Donovan, Cream, Fool and Fashion photographs (including a DVD Slide show screensaver) will be published. Karl is also producing a Trilogy of feature films based on the biography and influence of the 15th century father of Surrealism Hieronymus Bosch. Of which he is also a Writer, Producer, Director and Art Director. Currently a TV documentary on Karl's work and life "The Karl Ferris Experience" is being finished.

Douglas Kent Hall (December 12, 1938 - March 30, 2008) was an American writer and photographer. Hall was a fine art photographer and writer of fiction, poetry, nonfiction, essays, and screenplays. He was in high school when he first published a story, and his first published photographs were of Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison. He published twenty-five books, including two with Arnold Schwarzenegger. His photographs are of rock and roll superstars, rodeo, cowboys, prison, flamenco, bodybuilders, the U.S.-Mexico border, the American West, New Mexico, New York City, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Great Britain, Greece, Russia, Native Americans, writers, and artists. Hall's artistic output included collaborations with Larry Bell, Bruce Nauman, Terry Allen, and his son Devon Hall. At the time of his death in 2008, solo exhibitions of his photographs hung concurrently at the Harwood Museum of Art, Taos, New Mexico; the Riva Yares Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico; and the Roswell Museum and Art Center, Roswell, New Mexico. His book In New Mexico Light had just been selected for the Hoffer Book Award.

Douglas Kent Hall

Biography Early years Hall was born in Vernal, Utah, to Phyllis Hiatt and Charles William "Peck" Hall; he was the elder of two children. His brother, Wayne Hall, was born eighteen months after Douglas. Although Vernal is a Mormon community, the young Hall family did not practice the faith. While Peck Hall was serving in the Navy during World War II, his marriage to Phyllis broke up and the two small boys started living with their maternal grandmother, Beulah Perry. Hall's elementary and high school years were spent with his grandparents on rural farms in the Vernal area. He raised sheep and cows that he exhibited and sold at County Fairs. During high school Hall was a rodeo contestant.[1]

College years At the age of seventeen, Hall entered Utah State University, Logan, to study creative writing. He was already a published author. He transferred to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and then to Brigham Young University where he earned his bachelor's degree in English in 1960. At BYU Hall started what would become lifelong friendships with Alfred Bush and David Stires. The three enthusiastic writers lived and breathed literature and other creative arts. Bush became the Curator of Western Americana at the Firestone Library, Princeton University, and Stires became a publishing executive. Highlights of Hall's undergraduate years included study of the creative process with Brewster Ghislen, author of the landmark book The Creative Process. Between his junior and senior years at BYU, Hall met and married Claire Nicholson, of Boise, Idaho. The two remained married for ten years.[2] After earning his undergraduate degree at BYU, Hall was accepted into the prestigious Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa, Iowa City. For three years he worked as special assistant to Paul Engle, director of the program. While at the Writer's Workshop Hall befriended, among others, Mark Strand, Galway Kinnell, W. S. Merwin, and Adrian Mitchell. While at Iowa Hall wrote and published extensively.[3]

Early career Hall's master of fine arts degree in Creative Writing from the University of Iowa's Writer's Workshop in 1963 led to a position at the University of Portland teaching Creative Writing and Literature. Hall and Claire moved to Portland, Oregon, in 1964. During his time at the University of Portland, Hall brought many well-known poets to the school for readings, such as Allen Ginsburg, W. H. Auden, Anais Nin, Gary Snyder, Robert Duncan, William Stafford, and Robert Bly. At this time a friend lent Hall a camera and he taught himself photography, seriously studying photographic technique and style. He photographed poets and the group of artists he befriended in Portland, including Lee Kelly, Duane Zaloudek, Carl Morris, Hilda Morris, Doug Lynch, among others.[4] Hall's method of teaching creative writing included taking his students on car trips, overseeing student film productions, and having students grade themselves. His increasing interest in photography led to freelance photographic work. He photographed Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison of the Doors for Sunn Music, makers of amplifiers. He received various other commercial and magazine photographic assignments. Hall realized he could dedicate himself to his writing and photography and left the world of academia.[5] In 1967 Hall traveled throughout England, France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal with his cameras. He shot his first images in the Dark Landscapes series. In 1968 Hall moved from Portland to London and continued work in advertising and on his series of artist and writer portraits and his art photography. He began formulating the idea of Passing, which dominated most of the philosophy behind his personal work.[6]

Career as an independent writer and photographer Hall and his wife moved from London to New York City in 1968. He continued to photograph rock and roll stars, which resulted in the publication of Rock: A World Bold as Love, released later in paperback as The Superstars: In Their Own Words. In New York, Hall continued writing. He published his first novel, On the Way to the Sky, in 1970. This book fictionalized Hall's childhood years in Vernal, Utah, and his renegade Hall relatives.[7] While driving across the country with his college friend Alfred Bush in 1969 to photograph American Indians, returning to the West of his youth, Hall shot his first Passing series. In 1971 he developed the first negatives for Passing II. The idea of time and the photograph continued to deepen and became the guiding influence behind his total photographic output.[8] Hall's marriage to Claire dissolved in 1970. He returned briefly to Portland, Oregon, and worked doing commercial photography jobs and writing. He met his future second wife, Dawn Claire Davidson, a fashion coordinator, in May of 1971. The following December the two moved to New York and set up residence and studio in a loft on 21st Street and 7th Avenue. As they were moving in, comedian and filmmaker Christopher Guest was moving out. Of note, when Hall and Dawn moved out of the loft in 1976, the poet Mark Strand moved in.[9] In the 1970s Hall lived in New York but spent much time traveling. His work included writing a book about rodeo titled Let Er Buck; writing and codirecting a feature documentary film about rodeo titled The Great American Cowboy, which won an Academy Award for Best Feature-Length Documentary; and publishing a photography book titled Rodeo, which was followed in the early 1980s by another book about cowboys, this one about ranch cowboys, titled Working Cowboys. Mark Strand writes, "These cowboys, as opposed to urban cowboys, drugstore cowboys, rodeo cowboy, or movie cowboys, stay on horseback all day long working cattle. And when they stand in front of the camera—in Hall's best photos, they are standing, looking straight into the camera lens—their detached way of life shows."[10] The 1970s also saw the publication of Hall's second novel, Rock and Roll Retreat Blues. Significantly, in 1974, Hall exhibited his photographs for the first time, at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. The exhibition and accompanying catalog, Photography in America, is where the public first viewed the now iconic photograph Mesquite, Texas.[11] During the latter half of the 1970s and the early 1980s, Hall worked on books collaboratively for the first time in his career. In 1975 Hall's literary agent, Bob Dattila, asked him if he would be interested in working on a project with the bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. Hall and Schwarzenegger published two books, Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder and Arnold's Bodyshaping for Women. Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder topped the New York Times Best Seller List for twelve weeks in 1978.[12] In 2002, Sports Illustrated included the Hall/Schwarzenegger collaboration in their "Top 100 Sports Books of All Time" list.[13] During the writing and photographing of Bodyshaping for Women, Hall started an acquaintance with the female bodybuilder Lisa Lyon, which led to the publication of their Lisa Lyon's BodyMagic. The Incredible Lou Ferrigno, with bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno, rounded out Hall's collaborative publishing ventures with bodybuilders.[14] In 1977 Hall and his partner Dawn moved from New York to the small village of Alcalde in northern New Mexico. After living together for more than six years, they were married in Santa Fe on July 23, 1977. In 1980 their son Devon Douglas was born. Hall traveled throughout the Southwest and along the Mexico-U.S. border in the 1980s gathering material for two photographic books. The Border: Life on the Line introduced Hall to the varied types of people who live and work on both sides of the border. The book includes many color photographs. "In an ideal marriage of uncompromising photography and compelling prose, Hall transports us to 2,000 miles of borderland, revealing it in all its contradictory dimensions."[15] Frontier Spirit: Early Churches of the Southwest also includes many color images. "Photographer-author Douglas Kent Hall takes us to the most celebrated churches as well as to the most obscure, including hauntingly evocative ruins in remote parts of New Mexico."[16] Known primarily for his black-and-white work, these two books highlight the diversity of Hall's oeuvre.

Douglas Kent Hall Most well known for his silver prints, in 1992 Hall began printing with platinum. His classic western images of cowboys and Matachines comprise the suite of prints. Also in the early 1990s, Hall traveled to St. Petersburg, Russia to document the Hermitage Museum's art school for children. He photographed in the student's homes and at the museum. During this period Hall also traveled to Minas Gerais, Brazil to document the region's gold and gemstone miners.[17] In the mid-1990s Hall began producing one-of-a-kind photographic artworks. His Zen Ghost Horses series are images of Peruvian Paso and Clydesdale horses exposed onto hand-made paper that was brushed with emulsion. Hall embellished the works with gold leaf, Chinese and Japanese calligraphy, and acrylics.[18] Taking color images shot along the Mexico-U.S. border, Hall created a suite of artes de caja (art boxes). These pieces incorporate color photograph, poems, milagros, objects picked up while traveling the border, and pages from Mexican graphic novelettes into and on hand-painted wooden wine boxes. The Albuquerque Museum showed fifteen of the border boxes for four months as part of a tribute exhibition for Hall in the summer of 2008.[19] The Halls sold their Alcalde home and studio in 2001 and moved to Albuquerque, where they built a studio and wet and dry darkrooms onto an existing round house. Hall's New Mexico cohort included artists Larry Bell, Terry Allen, Bruce Nauman, Susan Rothenberg, Tom Palmore, Ken Price, Bill Barrett, Paul Pletka, Charles Strong, Ron Cooper, Gus Foster, and others. After being awarded the New Mexico Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2005, the Museum of New Mexico Press published Hall's In New Mexico Light, a compilation of his most enduring, compelling images taken over a forty-year time span.[20] Writer and photographer Hall was not only a novelist, photographer, writer of nonfiction, and film script author, he was also a poet. In 2002 his first collection of poems was published in Visionary. The book also contains an extended automemoir/poem.

Martial arts Hall began studying and practicing Kaju Kenpo karate in Santa Fe in 1986, receiving his Nidan black belt in 1998. He taught karate in Española, New Mexico until 2002. While continuing to practice karate, Hall also incorporated Tai Chi into his daily spiritual practice. When photographer Joyce Tenneson selected Hall in 2004 for inclusion in her book Amazing Men, she photographed him working with martial arts weapons.[21]

Death Hall died suddenly, unexpectedly, at his home in Albuquerque on March 30, 2008; the cause of death was described as "a cardiac incident." He was survived by his wife, Dawn, and son, Devon Hall, a composer and pianist.[22]

Writing Hall's first writing was fiction. He has been called the "iconic storyteller of the American experience" . . . "this author is a veritable shaman of contemporary culture."[23] His first novel, On the Way to the Sky, is set in Utah and explores themes that surface frequently in his work: small-town life, surviving a broken home, Mormonism, hunting and fishing, music, and rodeo. Writer Mag Dimond asked Hall in 1997 which of his books were his favorite and why. "His first choice was On the Way to the Sky, the book he wrote when he was about twenty-one, a steely, sweet autobiographical novel he didn't publish until almost six years later. About this book he simply says, 'I was able to define my past, get it behind me where it belongs.' . . . This stunning little novel is rich in characters suggested by real people . . . written in startlingly original language."[24] The New York Times Book Review noted, "Mr. Hall invents distinctive family backgrounds for his three heroes and arranges them into an impressionistic chronicle."[25] In Rock and Roll Retreat Blues, his second novel, the humor is sardonic; it is a commentary on the world of rock and roll and the culture it creates and drives. According to a Publisher's Weekly review, "The book is chock-full of familiar contemporary figures—Hell's Angels, revolutionaries, people spaced out on religion or brown rice or drugs, even such exotics as the "plaster casters." Yet Hall is fresh and funny, and he makes Artie's [the protagonist's] search

Douglas Kent Hall for his own psyche very real and very much a part of our times. (Excerpts ran in Penthouse)."[26] The third novel, The Master of Oakwindsor, set in 1908 England, explores the clash between rural England and a new and darker industrial Britain and between two families. Bestseller magazine writes, "After three successful novels and an Academy Award–winning screenplay, it is no surprise that Hall's novel brings a fresh outlook to the overworked genre of historical romance. The Master of Oakwindsor is a diverse and brilliantly colored portrait of England and Europe at the turn of the century, bristling with event and detail."[27] Hall's numerous books of nonfiction, which include his photographs, treat various subjects, including rock and roll, rodeo, cowboy life, bodybuilding, prison, the historic churches of the Southwest, and the border between the United States and Mexico. "The Border, about desperate lives lived on both sides of the United States–Mexico border, is at once a compelling piece of work, a lucid and personal rendering of Hall's own border experiences both in words and 'pictures.'"[28] Let 'Er Buck is "a really deep look at rodeo and some rodeo people. Most of us have seen what goes on in the arena; this book mostly deals with the rest of it. . . . What [Hall] has said with his typewriter and his camera is bound to be controversial."[29] About Hall's book In New Mexico Light, Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico, wrote: "the thoughtful text in this book [is] testimony to the work of an artist who has dedicated his life to observing the rich cultural texture of New Mexico."[30] In New Mexico Magazine, Jon Bowman writes, "Hall accompanies the images [in In New Mexico Light] with some of the most lucid, engaging essays on the photographic process you'll ever read. He's a straight-shooter all the way. There's no mention of f-stops or arcane technical knowledge, but rather some fine storytelling, mixing in roughly equal doses of the sacred and the profane."[31]

Photographs Many of Hall's images have become known as icons of Americana, such as Mesquite, Texas 1973, and Jim Morrison, Portland. Princeton University curator Alfred Bush writes: "Unlike the majority of the photographic explorers, who are continually clicking away at the American West, Douglas Hall's camera is firmly rooted in the region's very center."[32] Hall's photographs are mainly of people; he finds his subjects worldwide, from New York to the Southwest, from Russia to Japan, Brazil to Mexico, as well as in places like Morocco and the Outer Hebrides Islands. On the occasion of the exhibition in Santa Fe of Os Brasilieros (The Brazilians), David Bell notes, "Hall, who has recently made several trips to Brazil and the Amazon, takes as his subjects not only the miners who were his first objective but families, farmers . . . and students, too. The result is a composite portrait of a people who in most cases appear to give themselves with equal abandon to the camera and to life."[33] "With avid observation of humanity, Hall's photographs represent the inner truth and spirit that resides in peoples from various socio-cultural constructs throughout the Americas. Whether he is focused on the confined dwelling within the prison system, or indigenous elders from across the United States, Hall elucidates American iconography by way of the camera and pen."[34] He continued to work in film and branched into digital imagery, shooting both color and black-and-white. Hall crossed the digital photography boundary by moving into fine art color photographs printed on handmade watercolor paper. Mark Strand noted in Vogue Magazine, "There is nothing provisional about Hall's enterprise; it is both broad and, in individual photographs, scrupulously resolved. His pictures have an edge, a magical certainty about them that not only justifies but also honors their subjects, no matter how odd or how exploited."[35] Writing about Hall's 2007 book In New Mexico Light, Dave Gagon notes, "A filmmaker and poet, as well as a photographer, Hall has photographed and written about New Mexico's unique mix of places and people, a broad representation including ancient sites and Spanish churches, Indian ceremonial dances, portraits of artists and writers, viejos and vagabonds. He invigorates his 182 black and white photographs with descriptive prose—something most visual artists have difficulty achieving."[36] In his Foreword to In New Mexico Light actor/playwright Sam Shepard writes, "The photographs in this book are naked impressions of the mind and spirit just waiting for somebody as lucky and gifted as Douglas Kent Hall to hunt them down and seize them with a little black box."[37]

Transition to digital photography Hall started out with a 35mm camera, added a 2 1/4 square format camera, and kept working with those two formats using Nikons, Leicas, and Hasselblads. In the mid-1990s he added digital cameras to his arsenal. In a Rangefinder magazine article, Hall said to author/photographer Paul Slaughter: "I am using a Nikon D70s digital SLR and I always carry a Nikon point-and-shoot that fits into my pocket. It does interesting things to the color (which I like). I also use an Olympus C-5050 digital camera that has a wonderful f/1.8 lens. My new series, Travel, is all digital color and I am fascinated by the images because they are different from anything I've done before. The creative part is the same, the tools are the tools—the cameras."[38] Hall had five external hard drives full of images and did his best to keep them organized. He said to Slaughter, "I am a bit haphazard in my approach to work. I am more intuitive than anything else. That is part of my imagery evolvement."[39] Hall used the Photoshop and LightRoom software programs for after-capture processing and did his own printing, both digital and traditional. He had four Epson inkjet printers. For digital printing he favored watercolor papers as they render a softer image. He told Slaughter: "I am often upset that I can no longer readily find traditional printing supplies. . . . That concerns me more than thinking about where photography is going. I look at the photographs being done and feel that the new digital work is less convincing than film work. But I feel certain that photographers such as Edward Weston would have brought a special look to digital. I hope I am doing the same. In the end, with either digital or film, I choose what pleases my eye. I think the world of professional photography is much like it has always been, full of challenge."[40]

Quotations • The camera, the split-second blink of the shutter, taught me that time does not pass. It is we who pass. We pass through time and we waste only ourselves. Time is indifferent to us and to our folly. Time remains the one certainty we have, the fixed and constant factor-more concrete than life, more permanent than space. --Douglas Kent Hall, 3 / Photographers (Roswell: Roswell Museum and Art Center, 1986), p. 3 • New Mexico makes its way into my negatives, insinuating its fabulous light into the print leaving its tindery smell mysteriously in the air . . . • Light stands as the single most important constituent that allows my photographs to be. • History, or the ghost of history, frames each image yet leaves it vulnerable, prone to corruption, reversal, and revision. The photograph, as such, is a kind of grail. Viewers can choose to believe in it for what it claims to be, some truth or emblem that prevails outside of the reality of the image on the paper; they can give it a new reality; or they can reject it out of hand. The image, existing without prejudice, appears independent of bias. The photographer or the viewer is free to accept the image or dispute its authenticity. The camera expresses no opinion; the camera simply produced a "fly on the wall" documentation of who was there the instant the shutter snapped or of what transpired. The camera takes responsibility but offers no liability. Artist statement Art is my beginning and my end. It is everything I do—my morning, my noon, and my night. Art is my confessor and my salvation. It is each photograph I shoot, each novel, poem, and film I write. Art defines what the photograph is, just as the photograph defines who I am; in the same way the words I craft tell the secrets of my heart. Art is my Bible, my Constitution. Art is my God and my devil. Art is everything I am, all I want to be. It will be my epitaph.

Michael Jeffrey Michael Frank Jeffery (died 5 March 1973) was a music business manager of the 1960s who is best known for his management of British band The Animals and American guitarist-composer Jimi Hendrix, whom he co-managed for a time with former Animals bassist Chas Chandler. A former associate of noted British pop impresario Don Arden, Jeffery was and remains a controversial figure. He was killed in 1973 in a mid-air collision over Nantes, France, whilst aboard an Iberia Airlines DC-9.

Beginnings Mike Jeffery started his career in music as the owner/manager of venues in Newcastle upon Tyne in northern England; the Marimba coffee bar and the Downbeat jazz club. Eric Burdon of the Animals was a patron of the latter, which eventually became a beat music venue featuring local bands such as The Alan Price Combo (originally The Pagans and soon to be The Animals) as well as The Kylastrons and The Invaders. After the club was closed due to fire regulations, both establishments burned down. Jeffery then opened the Club A’Gogo in partnership with Ray Grehan, sales manager for the Automaticket company. The Club A'Gogo was to become Newcastle's most celebrated venue, particularly after it was the subject of a best-selling song by The Animals who were house band there (to be replaced by The Junco Partners when they became an international act), and saw 1960s concerts by Captain Beefheart, Cream, Fleetwood Mac, The Graham Bond Organisation, Howlin’ Wolf, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Yardbirds among others. It attracted younger Newcastle clientele such as Sting and Bryan Ferry.[1]

The Animals Jeffery contracted to manage The Animals and obtained a recording contract with Columbia, the recordings to be produced by Mickie Most. After the success of their second record "The House of the Rising Sun" the Animals embarked on a tour of the USA. Despite this success Jeffery has been openly condemned by members of The Animals, who blame him for the breakup of the band, claiming that he worked the group into the ground and appropriated most of their earnings.

Jimi Hendrix When Chas Chandler decided to move into management himself and signed Jimi Hendrix, he appears to have been informed by Jeffery that, since he was still under contract, he must continue to pay a percentage. Hence Jeffreys became co-manager of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, taking care of business while Chandler produced.[2] Jeffery has received almost unanimous criticism from biographers of Hendrix. Several have alleged that Jeffery siphoned off much of Hendrix's income and channeled it into off-shore bank accounts, that Jeffery had dubious connections to US intelligence services (it has been reported that insiders often claimed that he worked for MI5, British Secret Intelligence and that he had connections to European organised crime). When Experience bassist Noel Redding inquired as to where Jeffery was going with briefcases of the band's money, he was asked to leave. Jeffery

Michael Jeffrey was played by actor Billy Zane in the movie Hendrix. In October 2006 a $15 million auction took place of items of Michael Jeffery's estate including the rights to many of Jimi Hendrix's hits including "Purple Haze" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". Experience Hendrix, a company formed and owned by Hendrix's family, have said they will prove they own the titles to these songs and that they intend to sue.[3]

Hendrix death allegation Hendrix died in September 1970. His body was found in London at the flat of Monika Dannemann, who was Hendrix's girlfriend at the moment. In May 2009 the UK media reported claims that Michael Jeffery had murdered Jimi Hendrix. James "Tappy" Wright, who was a roadie for Hendrix and The Animals in the 1960s, claimed he met Michael Jeffery in 1971, one year after Hendrix's death, and Jeffery confessed to having murdered Hendrix by plying him with pills and a bottle of wine[4] in order to kill him and claim on the guitarist's life insurance. Jeffrey is quoted by Wright as telling him: "I was in London the night of Jimi's death and together with some old friends.. we went 'round to Monika's hotel room, got a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth...then poured a few bottles of red wine deep into his windpipe." The manager was allegedly worried that Hendrix was about to sack him. He had reputedly taken out an insurance policy worth $2 million on Hendrix' life, with himself as beneficiary. At the time of Hendrix's death, a coroner recorded an open verdict, stating that the cause was "barbiturate intoxication and inhalation of vomit". However Dr. John Bannister, the doctor who attempted to resuscitate Hendrix, later raised the possibility that Hendrix actually died from forced inhalation of copious amounts of red wine.[5] [6]

Curtis Knight Curtis Knight (b. Mont Curtis McNear, Fort Scott, Kansas, May 9, 1929 - November 29, 1999) was an American music artist and band leader who is known for his connection to Jimi Hendrix. Knight was an artist in the 1960s Harlem music scene, usually fronting his own band "the Squires". This band gigged in clubs in New York City, and other surrounding areas. It was through Knight that Hendrix got involved with Ed Chalpin, a record producer who signed the future superstar to a contract which Hendrix soon forgot about and left for England to form "The Jimi Hendrix Experience". Both Knight and Chalpin would later claim that they were trying to make Hendrix a "star", but Chalpin had him sign a contract that gave Hendrix only 1% of any royalties that his recordings earned and the sum of "one dollar". Meanwhile, Chas Chandler actually "discovered" Hendrix in Greenwich Village while he was fronting his first band The Blue Flames. It was only after Chalpin read music trade papers that he realized that Hendrix had made it successfully across the Atlantic in the "Psychedelic" and "Flower Power" period, and began to pursue legal action against Hendrix, his management and record companies, with Knight as his main witness. During the legal battles, Chalpin released some of his Hendrix records: •

How Would You Feel

Some of these tracks were actually recorded during a "jam session" that occurred after Hendrix visited Knight in 1967 between the Monterey Pop Festival and the Monkees tour that the Experience participated in. Hendrix was under the impression that the jam that took place in Ed Chaplin's recording studio was not to be recorded. However, his wishes were not honored which resulted in several tracks being released. All were released with pictures of Hendrix that were post-Squires, and stated that Knight played a big part in Hendrix's style. These tracks were used on a CD/LP release entitled The Summer of Love Sessions. :[1] . During the 1970s, after Hendrix's demise, Knight moved to London, England where he formed the group "Curtis Knight, Zeus", and toured throughout Europe, relying on his "Hendrix" connection for many years. Among the musicians enlisted was "Fast" Eddie Clarke who went on to fame as part of the line up which made Motörhead famous on such records as "Bomber" and "Ace of Spades" during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Knight wrote the book Jimi: An Intimate Biography of Jimi Hendrix, published in 1974 by Praegar Publishers, New York. The book includes A Jimi Hendrix Discography, compiled by John McKellar. Knight was also a competitive table tennis player who played in some local tournaments while living in New York.

Genre

Rock

In early 1970, Jimi Hendrix recorded an autobiographical song cycle in his Greenwich Village apartment that he titled Black Gold.[1] The tapes consisted of 16 songs, all created by a solo Hendrix armed only with his voice and a Martin acoustic guitar. Near the end of the collection lies an embryonic two-part rendition of his superhero themed funk-rock tune Astro Man, in which Hendrix sings lines from the 1950s Mighty Mouse cartoon theme and makes humorous references to Superman. Other songs from the Black Gold sessions were also further developed in the studio and have surfaced in the Hendrix catalogue (Stepping Stone, Machine Gun, and Drifting), but at least nine of the songs are known to be unique to the tapes. Months later, at the Isle of Wight Festival, Hendrix gave the tapes to his drummer Mitch Mitchell to have him listen and comment on the necessary rhythm section requirements for recording the songs. After Hendrix's death in September 1970, Mitchell simply forgot about the tapes, apparently unaware that they were one-of-a-kind masters. For 22 years, the Black Gold tapes sat in a black Ampex tape box that Hendrix tied shut with a headband and labelled "BG". It was not until 1992 that Tony Brown, the avid Hendrix collector and biographer, interviewed Mitchell and learnt that the mythical Black Gold tapes, thought to have been stolen from Jimi's apartment by vandals who ransacked it for collectibles soon after his death, were lying in Mitchell's home in England. Mitchell also possessed the Martin guitar that was used to create the material. Brown was invited to review the tapes and published a summary of his account, but to date the material has not been released and is not available to Hendrix collectors. There is a bootleg release called Black Gold but that is a collection of Electric Ladyland outtakes and reahearsals, and does not include the Greenwich Village material. Only Brown and a handful of friends close to Mitch Mitchell have listened to the real Black Gold tapes. Many aficionados consider Black Gold the "holy grail" of Hendrix collectibles. The themed songs, plus the label markings and conventions used by Hendrix to identify the tapes lead fans to believe that this demo represents a proposed fifth studio album and predict that the material will reveal the broadest extensions of Hendrix's intended musical direction. Mitch Mitchell's association with Experience Hendrix LLC was an indicator that Black Gold might see worldwide release. Mitchell's death, however, means that the future and whereabouts of Black Gold are even more uncertain. In March 2010, Janie Hendrix stated that Black Gold will be released "this decade".[2]

''Black Gold''

Tentative track listing There is precious little to go by regarding the actual names of the tracks on Black Gold. On the only recorded source Jimi had written "Idea for L.P. side 1 suite ... Black Gold" on side A. On the B side of the cassette the only writing was "cont from side A". Some of the tracks have been released on other albums, such as the tracks "Machine Gun" and "Drifting", found on Band of Gypsys and First Rays of the New Rising Sun, respectively.

Right Now! (1973)

Friends from the Beginning – Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix was Little Richard's eighteenth album release containing new material. Although many of the tracks present had been available on albums dating as far back as September 1964, the album did contain five new tracks *not* from the Vee-Jay vaults: "Belle Stars", "Funky Dish Rag", both instrumentals probably cut in 1971, and "Why Don't You Love Me?", recorded that same year; plus instrumental reworkings of "Lucille" and "Keep A-Knockin'". Technically there was nothing "new" about the album (albeit long, stereo versions of very common sides) as it contained material over six years old, but the final release of the archived tracks, coupled with the tie-in to Jimi Hendrix as guitarist, meant that the release was a viable one. [Tracks 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12 Personnel include Little Richard (keyboards?); rest unknown (possibly a mix of Little Richard's 1970s touring band and contemporary studio musicians)]. Note: "Tutti Frutti" (instrumental) is actually "Long Tall Sally" (instrumental).

History The files at Vee Jay hold that Richard had seven sessions at the company from June 1964 - c. 1965, remaking seventeen of his old hits ("Tutti Frutti", "Good Golly Miss Molly" et al.) and recording thirty brand new ones. Even though Richard had left the company and moved on for several years, many of the unreleased VeeJay tracks were then turning up on "new" albums up till 1974. Playing guitar on all of the tracks on the album was Jimi Hendrix, then before he became known in his own right, but having had his career and died before this album was released. Despite this, and the album being released in the same period as the movie footage of Little Richard in Sweet Toronto, the album failed to chart.

Jimi Hendrix: An Illustrated Experience is a biography of legendary American guitarist Jimi Hendrix, written by his stepsister Janie and his biographer John McDermott, and published on October 9, 2007.[2] The book tells the story of Hendrix and his life through reproductions of rare material such as letters, drawings, postcards and posters. An Illustrated Experience also contains a companion CD entitled Hendrix: Live, which includes three live tracks, two interviews, and a studio jam entitled "Keep on Groovin'".

Overview The focus of An Illustrated Experience is on the interactive features used to tell Hendrix's life story. Authors Janie Hendrix and John McDermott both work for Experience Hendrix, L.L.C., the exclusive copyright holder to all Hendrix material, and so had exclusive access to the family archives when compiling the book, allowing them to reproduce rare first-hand Hendrix memorabilia such as handwritten lyrics, drawings and postcards, from various periods throughout his life. The companion CD also aims to give an insight into the musician's life as it includes a

''Jimi Hendrix: An Illustrated Experience'' studio jam running for over twenty minutes, featuring many unsorted parts of future songs.

Bryan James "Chas" Chandler (18 December 1938 — 17 July 1996) was an English musician, record producer and manager of several successful music acts. Born in Heaton, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, he began his career playing bass guitar in a trio with Alan Price. After vocalist Eric Burdon joined them the group was renamed The Animals and became one of the most successful R&B bands ever. Chandler's most famous bass lines are the opening foundation riffs of their 1965 hits "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" and "It's My Life". Chandler was also the most prominent of the group's backing vocalists and did occasional songwriting with Burdon. After the group split up in late 1966, Chandler reinvented himself, becoming manager of Jimi Hendrix and recruiting other musicians to form The Jimi Hendrix Experience. He also produced their first two albums. Chandler was also instrumental in introducing Hendrix to Eric Clapton. It was through this introduction that Hendrix got a chance to play with Clapton and Cream on stage. Chandler then went on to manage and produce the English rock band Slade for twelve years. During this time, Chandler bought and ran IBC Studios for four years and launched Barn Records. He later helped develop Newcastle Arena, a ten-thousand seat sports and entertainment venue that opened in 1995. Chandler had one son, Steffan, from his first marriage. He later married Madeleine Stringer, the 1977 Miss United Kingdom and the sixth runner-up at Miss World 1977, and they had a son, Alex, and two daughters, Elizabeth and Katherine, together. Chandler died of a heart condition in Newcastle in 1996, days after performing his final solo show. The character Francis "Chas" Chandler from the comic book Hellblazer is named after him. Chandler's former home in Heaton is to be remembered with a black plaque placed on the wall.[1]

Hendrix chord, G7#9: G B D F A# (A#=Bb)

Hendrix chord Component intervals from root augmented ninth minor seventh perfect fifth major third root

In music, the dominant 7#9 chord, sometimes known colloquially as the Hendrix chord or Purple Haze chord,[1] is an extended dominant chord using the sharpened or augmented ninth, named for guitarist Jimi Hendrix.[2] While the sharpened ninth and other complex voicings built on the dominant seventh had been used in jazz and jazz harmony, and even in The Spencer Davis Group's 1967 song "I'm a Man," Hendrix helped popularize the chord's use in popular music. Hendrix songs built around the 7#9 chord include "Purple Haze" (recorded 1966) and the chord is implied throughout "Foxy Lady" (1967)[3] [4] , both from his 1967 album Are You Experienced?. Though the technique is one of many that contribute to "the dirty, raw, metallic, angular sounds of...many other Hendrix songs"[2] the earliest recorded evidence of his use of the chord is on the Isley Brothers "Testify, Parts 1 and 2" (1964), one of the few known recordings he made in the years prior to his solo career in 1966.

Harmony and scales The chord is harmonically ambiguous, as it effectively is a major and a minor chord simultaneously (the augmented ninth being in effect a minor third above the tonic) and is thus similar to (in fact, an extension of) the chord referred to as a mixed third chord (see also blue notes). It may also be found in the tonally ambiguous octatonic scale. It is an example of how Hendrix would embellish chords "to add new colours to the music, often derived from his own roots in black music".[2] "In essence," one author has written, the Hendrix chord is "the whole of the blues scale condensed into a single chord."[4]

Hendrix chord, F7#9, as an uncommon pentatonic scale on F

The chord may also be considered "jazzy"[5] rather than bluesy, and while the dorian may be the scale most commonly used for the 7#9, the mixed third allows flexibility including the use of mixolydian, aeolian, and other modes.[6] In jazz, 7♯9 chords, along with 7♭9 chords, are often employed as the dominant chord in a minor ii-V-I turnaround. For example, a ii V I in Cm could be played as: Dm7♭5 - G7♯9 - Cm7. When performing "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" live Hendrix later used not only E7#9, the sharpened ninth chord on the tonic, but also D7#9 and C7#9 chords, the subtonic and submediant,[4] which would total nine and imply eleven notes, rather than only five.

Other uses Though the augmented 9th dominant chord was a favorite of Jimi Hendrix, it was not his exclusively and had been used as far back as the bebop era of the 1940s, notably on the Rachmaninoff-inspired introduction to Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker's arrangement of the popular standard "All the Things You Are." Instances of the augmented ninth chord appear with some regularity in blues and rhythm-and-blues of the 1950s and 1960s, but guitarist Billy Butler’s use of the chord in Bill Doggett’s "Hold It" (1958) proved so memorable that musicians began referring to it as the "Hold It" chord. The chord is employed in the John Coltrane jazz standard "Blue Train". Hendrix chord chart, E7#9, in guitar chord chart format The chord had also been used previously by Hendrix's contemporaries in songs including the Beatles' "Taxman", and "The Word", also "I Feel Free" from Cream's debut album Fresh Cream (1966); both songs predate the release "Purple Haze". It is also used in the opening of "Kid Charlemagne" from the Steely Dan album The Royal Scam (1976). Additionally, this chord can be heard in Wes Montgomery's album, The Incredible Jazz guitar of Wes Montgomery (1960), in the piece "Four on Six", as well as throughout Muse's "Hyper Music".

The chord is favored by Pixies lead guitarist Joey Santiago, with D7#9, reminiscent of the opening to "A Hard Day's Night", opening "Here Comes Your Man" and F7#9 featured on the chorus to "Tame" against the three chord rhythm guitar part's D, C, and F.[8]

Members Ronald Isley Ernie Isley Former members O'Kelly Isley, Jr. (deceased) Rudolph Isley Marvin Isley (deceased) Chris Jasper Vernon Isley (deceased) Jimi Hendrix

The Isley Brothers (pronounced /ˈaɪzliː/; IZE-lee) are a successful and long-running American group consisting of different line-ups of six brothers, and a brother-in-law, Chris Jasper. The founding and central members were O'Kelly Isley, Jr., Rudolph Isley and Ronald Isley. Their music has developed from 1950's R&B, through Motown soul to 1970's funk,[2] and they have had long-running success on the Billboard charts, being the only act to appear in the Top 40 in six separate decades. In 2006, they reached the Top Ten of the Billboard album chart for the ninth time. Over the years, the act has performed in a variety of genres, including doo-wop, R&B, rock 'n' roll, soul, funk, disco, urban adult contemporary and hip-hop soul. The group's lineups have ranged from a quartet to a trio to a sextet; and are currently a duo. The band were formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1954, from the three elder sons of O'Kelly Isley, Sr. and Sally Bell Isley: O'Kelly Jr., Rudolph and Ronald, and recorded with small labels singing doo-wop and rock 'n' roll. After modest success with singles such as "Shout", "Twist and Shout" and the Motown single "This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)", and a brief tenure with Jimi Hendrix as a background guitar player, the group settled on a brand of gritty soul and funk defined by the Grammy-winning smash "It's Your Thing" in 1969. After reforming the group as a six-member lineup in 1973, featuring younger brothers Ernie and Marvin and brother-in-law Chris Jasper, they became known as 3 + 3 and charted gold and platinum success with albums such as 3 + 3, The Heat Is On, Go For Your Guns and Between the Sheets, while charting a succession of hit singles such as "That Lady", "Fight the Power", "For the Love of You", "Don't Say Goodnight (It's Time For Love)" and "Between the Sheets", between 1973 and 1983.

The Isley Brothers After the younger brothers splintered from the group in 1984 the remaining trio continued recording until O'Kelly's death from a cancer-related heart attack in 1986. Rudolph left the group for a career in the ministry in 1989. In 1991 Ron reformed the group with Ernie and Marvin returning to the lineup. Since 1997 after diabetes forced Marvin into retirement, the lineup has been Ron and Ernie (now on hiatus due to Ron's current prison sentence after a tax evasion conviction in 2006). The Isleys recordings have been sampled by 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Outkast, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony among others.

Early years (1954-1961) The band were formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1954, from the three elder sons of O'Kelly Isley, Sr. and Sally Bell Isley: O'Kelly Jr., Rudolph and Ronald. Occasionally performing in churches throughout their childhood, Rudolph, O'Kelly, Vernon and Ronald, were taught how to perform in front of crowds by their parents, who were also musicians, along with their younger siblings. A few years after the death of younger brother Vernon from a road accident, O'Kelly, Rudolph and Ron were convinced by their parents to form a new singing group together. After forming the group in 1957, the brothers immediately moved to New York and began recording in the doo-wop music genre, issuing singles on the small Teenage, Cindy, End and Mark-X labels. In 1959, RCA Records signed the group after catching them in concert where they had opened for R&B star Jackie Wilson. Their second release from the label, "Shout", became the group's first charted single, reaching No. 47 on the Billboard Hot 100, though it failed to enter the R&B chart. The single, written by the three brothers, was a modest single when the group released it, but the song gained a mainstream following after cover versions by singers such as Lulu and Joey Dee and the Starlighters helped the song eventually sell over a million copies. Motivated by its success, RCA later re-released the group's original version in 1961 but the song only peaked at No. 92. A follow-up success to "Shout!" never came and the group was released from their contract.

"Twist & Shout" to Buddah Records (1962-1973) After a period with Atlantic, the group signed with Wand Records in 1962, the group scored their first top-40 single, "Twist & Shout", which was originally recorded in a calypso production by the Top Notes. The Isleys' version, which had a more rock flavor, influenced many groups, including The Beatles, who would record the single the following year and finding huge success before the group moved on to record their own compositions. After several more releases, the group left Wand Records in 1964 and signed with United Artists, and after a handful of singles formed T-Neck Records after moving to New Jersey. Finding only local success with the single "Testify" (distributed by Atlantic), recorded with a young Jimi Hendrix on guitar, the group temporarily folded T-Neck and continued to record for Atlantic. The group then signed with Motown's Tamla imprint in 1965. The following year's "This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)" gave the group their biggest success up to that point on the American Billboard chart, reaching No. 12 on the Hot 100 and No. 6 in R&B. Much like their earlier tenures in other labels, the Isleys couldn't come up with a follow-up and after complaining of being given "leftover tracks" from the label's staff songwriters such as Smokey Robinson and Holland-Dozier-Holland, they asked to be let go from their contract in 1968. Upon separating from Motown, the group discovered that they had a huge following in England where three of their Motown singles had reached the top 40 (among them "This Old Heart", "Put Yourself in My Place" and "Behind a Painted Smile"). Touring in the UK that year, they returned to the U.S. with a new image and sound. Signing a new distribution deal with Buddah Records, the group recorded the gritty soul single, "It's Your Thing", a noted departure from their earlier recordings and showcasing a more independent sound in addition to featuring younger brother Ernie on lead guitar. It was released under the group's revived T-Neck label and eventually rose to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming their biggest charted success, selling over a million copies and winning the group a Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. The success of "It's Your Thing" reportedly irked Motown CEO Berry Gordy, who had agreed to let the band leave Motown in 1968; Gordy began making

420

The Isley Brothers accusations that "It's Your Thing" was recorded while they were still in Motown, which the group denied. After several years, Gordy settled with the group out of court. The group released a succession of seven albums for Buddah including The Brothers: Isley, Givin' It Back and Brother, Brother, Brother. After the release of a live album, the group left Buddah in 1973 after being offered a long-term distribution deal with Epic by Clive Davis, then president of CBS Records.

3 + 3 (1974-1984) After signing with Epic, the group updated their lineup, now including Ernie, brother Marvin and brother-in-law Chris Jasper. The addition of songwriters and musicians Chris, Marvin and Ernie made the group a self-contained act. The trio had worked initially in the background on some of the group's Buddah recordings. Their 1973 album, aptly titled 3 + 3, featured the crossover hit, "That Lady", and featured guitarist Ernie Isley in a memorable solo near the end of the song. By the end of the year 3 + 3 became their first album to be certified gold. In 1975 the group hit No. 1 in the album chart with The Heat Is On, featuring "Fight the Power" and "For the Love of You". Throughout the 1970s and 1980s the Isleys issued other successful recordings such as Harvest for the World, Showdown and Between the Sheets. In 1984, the lineup splintered, with Chris Jasper, Ernie and Marvin Isley forming the Isley-Jasper-Isley group. The 3 + 3 period is still considered by some as the most notable Isley Brothers era sandwiched between the group's earlier classic rock/soul period and the group's later tenure into smooth urban contemporary music. While the group members shared lyrical composition rights, it is noted that most of the group's singles were constructed by Ernie, Marvin and Chris, while allowing O'Kelly, Rudolph and Ronald to share credit, easily splitting royalties with the members. By 1985 Ronald, O'Kelly and Rudolph found themselves in trouble with the IRS for not paying back taxes and evading payments. To settle the three agreed to sell their label, thereby folding the company, though its imprint's logo would still be on Isley Brothers records. All of the group's T-Neck recordings are in the control of Sony Music. Afterwards the group, which reverted back to the original lineup of Kelly, Rudolph and Ronald, left Epic for Warner Bros. Records and continued to record, now relying on outside writers, musicians and producers.

Later years (1985-present) In 1985 the three-member group released Masterpiece, which featured a cover of Phil Collins' "If Leaving Me Is Easy". A year later O'Kelly Isley died after suffering a heart attack in his New Jersey home. Rudolph and Ronald dedicated their Angela Winbush-produced 1987 album Smooth Sailin', which included the tribute song "Sending a Message", to O'Kelly's memory. Nearly two years before the release of 1989's Spend the Night (also produced by Winbush, whom Ron married soon after), Rudolph left the group to become a minister, leaving Ron to carry on a solo career. Ron found success collaborating with Rod Stewart on a remake of "This Old Heart of Mine". In 2000 Michael Bolton unsuccessfully tried to buy the Isley Brothers' catalogue after the Isleys won a lawsuit alleging that Bolton's song "Love Is a Wonderful Thing" plagiarized their 1966 VEEP single (VEEP 1230) track of the same title.[3] Around the same time, The Isley Brothers were re-formed when Isley-Jasper-Isley split. Chris Jasper continued on with his solo career, and Ernie and Marvin returned to the lineup with Ron to record the album, Tracks of Life in 1992. That same year, the original six-member group was inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In 1996 the group released their first hit album in years with Mission to Please, boosted significantly because of lead singer Ron Isley's music video character, "Mr. Biggs", created by frequent collaborator, hip-hop/R&B singer R. Kelly, who first used Isley in the 1996 single for his hit "Down Low". The character would dominate much of the group's later recordings and helped to gain the group a brand new audience. The group, now consisting of Ron and Ernie, would top that success with their biggest-selling release, 2001's Eternal, which featured their biggest hit single in over 20 years with "Contagious", a song written by R. Kelly, who recorded it as Mr. Biggs' answer to Down Low. The single and its heavily rotated video returned the Isley Brothers to

421

The Isley Brothers the top of the music chart. Eternal eventually sold more than two million copies. With "Contagious" and Eternal, they had become the only group to have a single and album chart in over five decades, longer than any group in recording history (42 years). They stretched their streak with 2003's gold-certified Body Kiss, which was their first No. 1-charted album in nearly 30 years (since The Heat Is On), and their first to debut at No. 1. It featured the top 50 single, "What Would You Do" and 2006's '"Baby Makin' Music", which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.

Personnel Rudolph "Rudy" Isley sang background vocals from 1957 to 1989. He lives in California with Elaine Jasper Isley, his wife of over 50 years, where he is a minister in a local church.[4] Ronald Isley was the lead singer during 1957–1989 and from 1991 to the present. After quietly divorcing Winbush in 2002, he married for a third time to his backup singer Kandy Johnson, formerly of the group JS, and became a father again in 2006. He also has a daughter from a previous marriage. In 2004 the singer suffered a mild stroke during a touring schedule in London. He has kidney cancer and other failing organs. He was convicted of tax evasion charges in 2006 for not paying taxes between 1997 and 2002, giving band mates cash rather than taking the money to cash a check, and using money from his late brother O'Kelly's estate to continue his "expensive lifestyle". Isley was sentenced to serve 37 months (at least three years) in prison.[5] Isley was released early from federal prison in October 2009 and transferred to a halfway house in St. Louis, Missouri, where he served out the remainder of his sentence, before he was released on April 13, 2010. O'Kelly Isley, Jr. (1957–1986): background vocals, until his death. Marvin Isley provided bass and background vocals during the periods 1973-1984 and 1991–1997. He suffered from diabetes, and retired in 1997. Complications from the diabetes led to a stroke, high blood pressure, the loss of both legs and use of his left hand. He died on June 6, 2010 in Chicago.[6] Chris Jasper provided piano, clavinet, synthesizers, keyboards and background vocals from 1973 to 1984. In 1984 he formed Isley-Jasper-Isley with Ernie and Marvin.[4] When that band split in 1987, Jasper worked as a solo artists, and has released eight albums featuring a mix of R&B/funk/gospel for his own Gold City Music label.[7] Ernie Isley (1973-1984; 1991–present): guitars, drums, percussion and background vocals. Ernie Isley is currently working on his first solo album in nearly 20 years after the release of 1990's High Wire and is scheduled to participate in the Experience Hendrix festival in March. Ernie, Marvin and Chris were the group's background instrumentalists between 1968 and 1973 before becoming members.

Rainbow Bridge is a 1972 film directed by Chuck Wein that features footage from a Jimi Hendrix concert, and a short piece of conversation between Pat Hartley, Wein and Hendrix. It was mainly financed by Hendrix manager Mike Jeffery, hence his appearance. The film is about Pat Hartley's "spiritual awakening" via a visit to the 'Rainbow Bridge' planetary meditation cult on Maui, where, as part of the proceedings Jimi Hendrix visits to play a concert during a 'Rainbow Bridge' mass meditation/colour/sound "experiment". The "Rainbow Bridge" concert was a free concert by Jimi Hendrix that was held on July 30, 1970, in a horse pasture above Seabury Hall, on the "Upcountry" slopes of Haleakala, the volcano that makes up 75% of the island of Maui, Hawaii, although it probably last erupted in the 1600s, it is officially considered as being active. A modest audience of a few hundred island hippies, surfers, and students turned up following announcements that Hendrix would play a free concert for a film. Hendrix was also in Hawaii to play the last concert on his 'Cry of Love' tour with his reformed 'Jimi Hendrix Experience' (with Billy Cox replacing Noel Redding on bass & backing vocals. Mitch Mitchell & Cox were also - previously - members of Gypsy Sun and Rainbows). The director Chuck Wein introduced Hendrix' performance (no mention of a group name) as the driving force of this 'Rainbow Bridge' "experiment" , (this title is often mistaken as being the name of the site of this concert rather than the name of this "Planetary meditation" cult, an extension of the Gaia hypothesis into spiritual realms). The original cut, not surprisingly used very little of the concert footage, as this was not intended to be a concert film and no music from the performance was released on the official Reprise LP "Rainbow Bridge- Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" for contractual reasons and due to the original music soundtrack being unreleasable due to its very substandard sonic quality on account of strong winds that day. The album does include, however, the studio tracks featured in the film. However, the music from the concert was distributed as a bootleg recording for three decades, before Radioactive Records released this same bootleg recording on the 2003 album, The Rainbow Bridge Concert: The Early Show until it was withdrawn due to a court action by 'Experience Hendrix' which makes this officially a 'bootleg' CD release. The 'Rainbow Bridge' concert was the penultimate performance by Hendrix in the United States, his last was two days later on August 1, 1970, in Honolulu, Hawaii. Hendrix died less than two months later on September 18, 1970 in London, England.

Heavier Than Heaven - A Biography Of Kurt Cobain

Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix is a 2005 biography of musician Jimi Hendrix, the influential guitarist, singer, and songwriter of the psychedelic rock band The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was written by Charles R. Cross. Room Full of Mirrors was released in the year of the 35th anniversary of Hendrix's death and is composed of over 300 interviews that Cross conducted. More than half of the people interviewed had never spoken about Jimi since his death. It takes the reader from his troubled home in Seattle's projects to his time at military school and from his attempts to make it big in New York City's Greenwich Village to his rise to fame as the leader of the psychedelic rock music style. Cross took the name Room Full of Mirrors from the song on The Jimi Hendrix Experience's First Rays of the New Rising Sun. First Rays of the New Rising Sun is an attempt to recreate the studio album Hendrix was working on at the time of his death.

The Jimi Hendrix Concerts (1982)

Woke Up This Morning and Found Myself Dead is a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix released in Canada 1980 by Stony Plain Recording Co. and in the USA by Red Lightnin' Records. The album documents Hendrix's jam session (which he recorded himself on his portable reel to reel machine that he had brought with him) at The Scene club, 301 West 46th Street, New York City in March 1968, with guest vocals from Jim Morrison (that consist almost entirely of drunkenly shouted obscenities). Other musicians on the recordings are unknown, though it is possible that the bassist is Randy Hobbs and the drummer is Randy Zehringer, members of The Scene's house band at the time. It has been rumored that Noel Redding and Johnny Winter also appear. In the case of Redding, this is definitely untrue. Winter himself has denied that he took part in the jam, saying he never met Jim Morrison, although at times during the recording a second lead guitar (at a lower volume than Hendrix's) can be heard playing in an electric blues style. The LP release is interesting for its strange depiction of Hendrix on the cover (an illustration by artist George Snow). The material on Woke Up This Morning and Found Myself Dead was first released on a bootleg LP entitled Sky High [1], and at various times in the past and present under different names including High, Live 'N Dirty, Sunshine of Your Love, Live at the Scene Club, Red House, New York Sessions, Tomorrow Never Knows, Bleeding Heart, and many more, though all are semi-official releases. This is probably the most bootleged material from Jimi Hendrix appearing on hundreds of releases (records, cassettes, CD's etc.) worldwide. Experience Hendrix now owns the original reel to reel tape, and has it safely put away in the vaults.
