Covertekst
The powerful impact of Voodoo Child: The Illustrated Legend Of Jimi Hendrix is made even stronger by the remarkable sound contained in this compilation CD. The exclusive, seven-song collection offers a unique private visit with one of the most enduring icons of American music.
We hear the master alone caught in the act of creating some of his most memorable compositions. There are no studio enhancements, no overdubs, no backup instruments - just Jimi by himself in his "Roomful of Mirrors." Rare and previously unreleased renditions of tunes familiar and less familiar are presented complete with starts and stops in dramatically different arrangements, and sometimes with significantly different lyrics from the classic commercially recorded versions.
Hendrix taped these very private performances in New York City around April of 1968 - at the peak of his artistic powers - shortly before entering the studio to produce his legendary opus, Electric Ladyland. This very special gift offers us a precious intimate glimpse into the mind and muse of one of our most important artists. The treasures uncovered here are like the newly discovered works-in-progress of a major poet or great painter.
