It was NBC's Tonight Show that I first saw
, Jimi Hendrix. The setting was almost as exciting
as the music Hendrix played.
Carson was tap, tap, tapping his pencil trying
to conduct an interview with a guy in snakeskin
pants. The two chatted briefly about Hendrix'
upbringing, his group and of course, his pants.
Then Hendrix slithered on stage and the
Experience cut loose. In the second song Hendrix
started plucking his axe with his teeth. Quite
impressive to a young Nebraska lad. I was
addicted.
The next day I bought the "Smash Hits"
album of the Experience. Hendrix didn't play a
song, he tore into it. His style was unique and
exciting.
Sudden death
Hendrix appeared at many of the giant rock
festivals in the early '70s. Then suddenly, it was
all over. Hendrix left the music world when he
died from a drug overdose.
Just a quickly as Hendrix disappeared, there
appeared "Young Hendrix" or "Early" Jimi"
records from companies no one had ever heard 01
before. An example of such a record is Loose
Ends, a British import.
Along with the worthless records came rumors
that someone, somewhere possessed previously
unreleased Hendrix studio work, which
supposedly included jams with Mahavishnu John
Mclaughlin and Stevie Winwood.
Now Reprise Records (Hendrix' major label)
has released Crash Landing. Figuring Reprise
would try and rival the mysterious tapes, I
bought it.
Album unique
The album is unique. Unique because it
contains studio versions of previous live
performances and because it goes from sublime
to subpar.
"Message To Love" and "With The Power"
are redone Band Of Gypsy tunes. Remember that
group? It lasted one night. Buddy Miles and Billy
Cox (exGypsies) perform on these remakes, too.
About the only benefits of the studio work are
clearer vocals. "Stone Free Again," an
Experience remake, lacks improvement over the
original. So what's good about the album?
Two songs-the title cut and "Come Down
Hard On Me," are great. Hendrix played and sang
like only Hendrix could. The music is new and
stands up well to his reputation, but "Captain
Coconut" is totally useless. It made me think
Reprise might be out of material.
The image of Jimi Hendrix unfortunately has
been tarnished by the albums released since his
death. In spite of many good songs, I don't think
we'd be any worse off if Hendrix' music had
been buried, respectfully along with him.
