Jimi Hendrix

37 years ago today Jimi Hendrix passed away at the age of 27 in London. I'm really looking forward to the cd and DVD release October 16 'Live At Monterrey'. Jimi was born Johnny Allen Hendrix November 27, 1942 in Seattle. He would now be 64 if he were alive. Still, to this day, no guitar player has intrigued me as much as Hendrix does. There have been many that were absolutely fantastic and grabbed my attention, but Jimi's is phenomenally unique and mind absorbing. Rock 'N' Roll lost so much when Jimi basically fell victim to the rock n roll lifestyle.

New Releases slated for this week: MVD Visual is releasing a Jimi Hendrix DVD entitled 'Complete Story'; Carmin Appice and Vinny - Drumwars (DVD); Mark Knopfler - Kill To Get Crimson; David Gilmour - David Gilmour: Remember That Night - Live from the Royal Albert Hall (DVD); Alvin Lee - Saguitar; Keith Richards - Under Review (DVD);
