Who invented rock and roll? Ask Chuck Berry, he will tell you. It was Chuckberry. Or is it Bill Haley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard? Muddy water? Robert Johnson? Maybe he’ll lead the way? You didn’t, but if you asked me, I would say that like country blues, rock and roll came from the Southern Matrix of Black and White Artists, not from a single lonely hero. I think so. Deals, stealing licks, spotlights, hairstyles. Country crooners, bluesmen, jazz and gospel refugees. Maybe you’re looking for cash. Did Teeny-Bopper Star System kill Outlaw Heart in Rock and Roll? Or was it a crash on Buddy Holly’s plane? Big Payla? There are 1 million theories in one million books.
Who brought rock and roll back? the beatles? stone? If you ask me, and if you don’t, it was one man, Jimi Hendrix. Anyone who cried for beer Don McLean’s Maudlin eulogy I just had to listen to more Hendrix.
He had it – swagger, hair, deal, steal, lick: from blue, mostly from his ears and even from his ears. And like those brave giants of the 50s, Hendrix covered his competition. Today we bring you Hendrix, who plays the Beatles. Look at the above, he, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967, just a few days after the release of the song. As I wrote in my previous post, “The album came out on Friday. By Sunday night, Jimi Hendrix had learned the song and had opened his own show on the cover of the title track.” And He might say he made it his own. “Look at your ears, don’t you?” Hendrix tells the crowd. surely.
Soon, listening to Hendrix at the same time, a cover called “Day Tripper,” one of many recordings made for BBC radio, is collected in the album. BBC Session. Pureest grade fuzz-out, ferocious, booming rock and roll. And the following? Why is it a very drunk Jim Morrison, a very loose Hendrix packed with “I’ll never know tomorrow” or something vague. Morrison’s vocal contributions don’t just lower the moans. (He is acronym that he gets after hearing Morrison’s obscene refrain in another cut in this session, called “Morrison’s Lament” and “fhita.”)
This raw take came from Jam in 1968 at Sheen Club in New York. They also performed by Sheen House band McCoys, bassist Harvey Brooks and drummer Buddy Miles of Band of Gypsy. Johnny Winter could have been there or not. Released on the Bootleg of Calls Bleeding heart, sky high, and I woke up this morning and realized I was dead.these sessions are a must-have for Hendrix completers and similar enthusiasts of Deconstructed Virtuoso Blues-Rock. After what Hendrix did for rock and roll and for rock and roll, there was really no return to the skeletal bones or outer limits of punk Avan psychedelic noise and fused. Don McLean should have written a song about it.
