Jimi Hendrix's recordings with R&B
saxophonist
Lonnie Youngblood, are believed to be Hendrix's first experience in the
studio. Unfortunately, these tracks are among the most notoriously
misrepresented
and packaged as "Best of Jimi Hendrix", when in fact they are nothing
more
than run-of-the-mill R&B tracks, many of which have been doctored
with
additional guitar work by Hendrix 'impersonators'. In addition, it is
normal
practice for these tracks to be packaged alongside songs with no
Hendrix
involvement whatsoever. GoGo Shoes and Wipe the Sweat
are
among the tracks that Hendrix did play on. These tracks, originally
thought to date back to sessions
that took place in late 1963, have recently been re-examined.
Some Hendrix scholars now believe these tracks were most likely
recorded in 1966. |
