The BLUES & Jimi Hendrix
GREAT versions of old BLUES tunes from the late GREAT Jimi Hendrix!. This is one GREAT CD from the Master of the Stratocaster.


great collection of songs!
the little booklet in the CD is also very interesting. i really like the CD. track 5 and 11 are really good. they are the best versions in my opinion. .


Hendrix says it with feeling
TO BE HONEST THIS IS A ALBUM MADE TO MARKET HENDRIX AS A BLUES MAN; BUT IF YOU CAN'T TELL HE NEVER CARED TO BE ONE. This is a collection of blues songs in which Jimi just gave all his soul and emotion into each note. HE WANTED TO BE a soul / psychedelic / fusion guitarist, and you can respect that right ALL CAPS BLUES BROTHERS.

"Manish Boy" is the hit of this album in MHO; as well as "Bleeding Heart" & the" Red House Electric Church" are far above anything that was being played in the late sixties. Sorry to all the lovers of Clapton, but There was to much imagination in this soul, genius of a guitarist, to label him in the same genre as Eric.

As Neil Young stated years after his death "There was no one in the same school as him. . . " Amen to that.


Jimi Hendrix - 'Blues' (MCA) 4 1/2 stars
120. Review no. I hadn't seen this CD in ages! Simply too many compilations to keep up with. 'Blues' is basically a must-have collection of eleven superbly played blues numbers by Jimi Hendrix. Cuts I couldn't get enough of were "Hear My Train A Comin'" (both versions), his Cream cover "Born Under A Bad Sign", the all to familiar-sounding "Catfish Blues", one track I've never heard before "Mannish Boy", the heart-felt "Once I Had A Woman" and the awesome "Electric Church Red House". Highly recommended.


BLUES?....DON'T THINK SO, JIMI BOY
I'M A BLUES MUSICIAN AND FROM THAT STANDPOINT I MUST SAY THAT THIS NOT. I REPEAT. . . NOT. . . A BLUES CD. JIMI HENDRIX WAS A GREAT AND UNIQUE 60'S FLOWER GENERATION MUSICIAN. HE WAS NEVER A BLUESMAN. IF YOU DOUBT ME, CHECK OUT "MANNISH BOY". THE ONLY TRACK I WOULD CONSIDER BLUES IS "HEAR MY TRAIN A COMIN'" (ACOUSTIC). IT'S ALL HIS BRAND OF 60'S FLOWER-ACID JAM MUSIC AFTER THAT. THE CD COVER IS ALSO VERY MISLEADING. THERE ARE OVER 28 PHOTOS OF BLUESMEN ON IT. . . . WHEN, IN REALITY, ONLY ONE OF THOSE ARTIST'S. . . MUDDY WATERS. . . SONGS ARE ON THIS CD. I LIKE HENDRIX. . . I HAVE "VOODOO CHILE" AND I DIG IT. . . . BUT, FOR REAL, HE AIN'T. . . I REPEAT. . . AIN'T. . . NO BLUESMAN. I BOUGHT THIS CD BECAUSE OF THE PHOTOS AND TITLE. TRUE BLUES FANS. . . . BE AWARE!! JERSEY SLIM.
