Customer Rating: Summary: BLUES?....DON'T THINK SO, JIMI BOY Comment: I'M A BLUES MUSICIAN AND FROM THAT STANDPOINT I MUST SAY THAT THIS NOT..I REPEAT...NOT...A BLUES CD. JIMI HENDRIX WAS A GREAT AND UNIQUE 60'S FLOWER GENERATION MUSICIAN. HE WAS NEVER A BLUESMAN. IF YOU DOUBT ME, CHECK OUT "MANNISH BOY". THE ONLY TRACK I WOULD CONSIDER BLUES IS "HEAR MY TRAIN A COMIN'" (ACOUSTIC). IT'S ALL HIS BRAND OF 60'S FLOWER-ACID JAM MUSIC AFTER THAT. THE CD COVER IS ALSO VERY MISLEADING. THERE ARE OVER 28 PHOTOS OF BLUESMEN ON IT....WHEN, IN REALITY, ONLY ONE OF THOSE ARTIST'S...MUDDY WATERS...SONGS ARE ON THIS CD. I LIKE HENDRIX...I HAVE "VOODOO CHILE" AND I DIG IT....BUT, FOR REAL, HE AIN'T...I REPEAT...AIN'T...NO BLUESMAN. I BOUGHT THIS CD BECAUSE OF THE PHOTOS AND TITLE. TRUE BLUES FANS....BE AWARE!!

Customer Rating: Summary: Jimi Hendrix- "Blues" Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed the CD. However, someone got hold of my credit card info & charged over $600.00 on Amazon.com. Fortunately, my credit card company noticed the charges, informed me & put a block on any subsequent charges. Needless to say, I'm a little "gun-shy" after the experience. I was able to recoup the bogus charges but I had to create a new account, obtain a new credit card, etc. Any suggestions?
Customer Rating: Summary: Wow! Comment: Wow! and Wow Again. Because Jimi had his basics with some of the best unkonw blues masters this is one of the best blues recordings I have ever owned I am 84 and recognize some of the riffs from some of my oldies. Every one who loves the blues should own this one.. To bad he isn't alive today to share more of his talent.
Customer Rating: Summary: Moe's thoughts Comment: This is by far the best Jimi Hendrix CD ever produced!!! His blues guitar playing is the at the top of the list with B.B. King and S.R.V.
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Comment: I've been looking for a more intimate showing of Jimi Hendrix's talent. This is just what I was looking for. He was an excellent blues guitarist.
The recording is just a bit echoing. But overall, I love it.
