The Absolute Best of Jimi Hendrix
Posted by: graham55 on 29 September 2005
As a sort of personal tribute to JH's passing just over 35 years ago, I've spent a lot of time over the past couple of months reading about, and listening to, all I can about this extraordinary man.
I've come up with my all-time Hendrix classic recording.
It's Hey Baby (New Rising Sun).
But there were so many others, including Pali Gap, an unreleased early version of Little Wing, and the Woodstock version of Message To Love.
That's before we even get into the well-known favourites released in JH's lifetime such as Bold As Love, Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), All Along The Watchtower, etc. Not even mentioning The Star Spangled Banner.
So, if you could only have a handful of Hendrix's recordings, what would they be?
(And doesn't Naim equipment do the man proud?)
