A new album of material recorded by Jimi Hendrix with The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1969 has just been released — here’s the official video of the title cut.
Some reviewers are saying that the album consists of odds and ends of widely varying quality. No doubt, but this song at least is a stone cold masterpiece. A demo of the song has been around for a while — this version was apparently spliced together from two different takes. No matter — this is classic Hendrix, with its soulful vocals, psychedelic/apocalyptic lyrics, and elegant guitar work.
I like the visuals on the video too — gives me that old Woodstock feeling all over again…
