DownGoesFrazier Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 It's very reassuring to see so many Jimi Hendrix lovers here. Even a simple three-chord jam is sweet music. I've been goin' over Crosstown Traffic the last four days - off and on. I'm workin' up a softer acoustic version on my six-string. Already did one for The Wind Cries Mary.. though a Strat really does it justice - nice ballad. Hendrix is the one classic rock artist that I like a lot better now than I did back in the '60s and '70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dabb Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hendrix is the one classic rock artist that I like a lot better now than I did back in the '60s and '70s. He was amazing back then, but I had no real appreciation of his creations until I had myself become a musician and hoed the same row - so to speak. Same with Dylan.

misswonderly3 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I can't believe you know about "She and HIm." I thought nobody around here had heard of them but me. That means you must be (maybe?) familiar with Matthew Ward. I really like him,his music is just plain good music. I don't like to label, but if I had to with him, I'd say he makes exceptionally good "folk/singer-songwriter" rock. Here's something from his 2009 album, "Hold Time": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a pretty good job. Thank you for posting this! I'd not seen Dhani Harrison ever perform, so to see him do this beautiful version of his father's song was a treat, and emotional experience. I'm inspired to bring out that remarkable album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblue Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thank you for posting this! You're very welcome. You know, I've purchased that album no less than 4 times in my life - twice on vinyl and twice on cd. The 2001 re-master was a significant improvement in sound quality over the first cd issue. Still the best solo album by any Beatle ever - followed by Lennon's primal-scream album of the same year (1970). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
