I just played a copy of Jimi Hendrix greatest hits and I had forgotten how much I like Hendrix. I'm normally a jazz fan. What caught my ear most were the cuts which were more "bluesey" like "Hey Joe" and "Red House". Can anyone suggest a Hendrix album which is more, or all blues?
I have the LP import of Hendrix in the West and the whole recording is great quality. His rendition of Johnny B. Good is particularly excellent as well.
Lugnut is on the right track here in referring to Buddy Guy. When I play Buddy's newest CD ("Sweet Tea"), the first reaction of many people is "Damn! He sounds like Jimi Hendrix!"
Truth is, Jimi was in Buddy Guy's band way back when and learned from the master. So, it's more accurate to say that Jimi sounds like Buddy, not the opposite.
I've never heard that one before, Cpdunn99, can you give details? Any recordings together? (I should say that I'm actually not a Buddy Guy fan myself, and much prefer the way Jimi plays the blues.)
