Hendrix: Band of Gypsys Live at Fillmore East
It was a departure from the experimental rock of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, in that it featured an all-black rhythm section (as opposed to a formerly all-white one) and had a funky feel to its music.

Jimi Hendrix — South Saturn Delta
Still, Jimi Hendrix’s “South Saturn Delta” makes my eyes get big and my mouth drop, and it’s only a collection of cast-offs and B-sides. Yes, I make an exception for Jimi Hendrix. The retrospective covers all the eras of his short but prolific career, from 1967 to 1970. Some of these tracks have been issued […]
