Biography

Widely recognized as one of the most creative and influential musicians of the 20th century, Jimi Hendrix pioneered the explosive possibilities of the electric guitar. Hendrix's innovative style of combining fuzz, feedback and controlled distortion created a new musical form. Because he was unable to read or write music, it is nothing short of remarkable that Jimi Hendrix's meteoric rise in the… Read more in Amazon's Jimi Hendrix Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Scrappy Jimi, July 5, 2003
This review is from: DRIVIN' SOUTH (Audio CD)
If you are at all hip to the real blues esthetic (and why would you be listening to Jimi if you weren't) you will dig this CD. It is underproduced, recorded in mono, and loose. It is alcohol drenched and joyful. In short, its almost everything thats great about the blues. Jimi's playing is not quite like the post-LSD Jimi, but still, if you ever heard someone play like this live it would be truly jaw-dropping. This guy is ON. He's already head and shoulders above his contemporaries in terms of spontaneity, feel, and technical brilliance, and the gap only widened from here on. Maybe not the first Hendrix album you should buy, but an essential.

3.0 out of 5 stars Drivin' South, December 26, 2000
By 
Erich R Brinkmeier (APO, AE United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DRIVIN' SOUTH (Audio CD)
This cd was recorded in a small club in NJ in '65 when Jimi played back-up for Curtis Knight & the Squires. These recordings were taped in mono, but had stereo overdubs done sometime in the '70s to give it some depth (which is obvious when you here the bass & drums). Jimi only sings lead on a couple of tracks, with Knight doing the primary duties. The guitar playing is not great, but shows glimpses of the genius Jimi was to become. This album is for the completist only. If you are looking for Jimi playing some good blues tracks, try the official "Blues" release or the "BBC Sessions", both of which are readily available. If you must have these tracks, look for the "Complete PPX Recordings" 6cd box set ... . It has all of them & more, plus all the studio stuff he did with the Squires. Stay Experienced!

3.0 out of 5 stars for Collectors Mainly, May 29, 2002
This review is from: DRIVIN' SOUTH (Audio CD)
I Have quite a few Recordings by Jimi Hendrix a few along the lines as this one.you don't get the full Jimi Vibe but you can Hear a Certain Sound Emerging that would forever change the Game in a Few Short Years.not really strong on the Audio Department but you do get a Feel for what was to come.
