Those are some really strange bed fellows.

I like it too Dad...

Love the American masters Cash albums; some of the covers he did, should have been his song (read "Desperado"). Cash is about as far past The Marshall Tucker Band I roam into country....

Great song and a great album.

This one is pretty weird.

I wonder how Otis Redding would like this rendition of his song "Hard to Handle". Also one of my all time favorites from the Boys.

I sense your post count will rise with this forum....

One For Nebe (or other hippies)

Not that obscure but a nice cover. Drummer sounds just like dad.

I'll just go ahead and say i'm sorry now...

You are a sick bastard

Sorry.....again

That is the best freakin' video of a cover band I have ever seen! I wonder if they've ever opened for these guys?

Coincidently, this is a pretty good cover, too.

man that is good..I have listened to that JB disc you gave me last year a bunch....next time he plays local, I am going....

Tautog01, where the hell didja find that one? I had no idea you were so musically inclined, I thought you spent most of your time mutilating green crabs...:hihi:

Hey, I saw Hendrix and the Experience at the old RI Auditorium in the Spring of '69. It was awesome - and actually this is one of those "no s**t, this really happened" stories - the Auditorium caught fire, the crowd panicked and rushed for the exits while he was on.

Jimi was in the middle of 'Purple Haze' and just kept playing - my date freaked grabbed my hand and bolted for the doors and all of a sudden I had visions of Cocoanut Grove - yanked her back and wouldn't let go, went to the vacant front row seats and watched him finish.

Hey, you know, ya try to tell kids that today and they'll say 'Don't believe ya, don't believe ya'...:hihi:

Great story Sad to hear that the last member of the JH Experience died recently. Mitch Mitchell was a great drummer.
Like RIRockhound said my posts wil go up with this forum.
Hope the little lady is feeling better

A couple I listened to on my commute last night... From a Hendrix tribute 'Stone Free' I dug out of my CD collection...
Skip ahead about 1min on this one...

Hendrix 'Jazz?'

Thanks tautog01, the missus seems to be a whole lot better today - she's been chasing me all over the house since 6 AM nipping at my heels the whole time - yup, she baaack.... :hihi:

Ya know, I'm glad she is too - the kid scared the hell outta me. All it takes is a good health crisis to put everything in perspective for ya - man...:hs:

Can't believe MM pooped the bed too - that's really a shame. Great drummer -

Anyhow...this one is really not obscure, but one of the all-time great covers - I'll swear Stevie Ray was channeling Jimi on this one.

My favorite version of all along the watchtower. It was D.M. that convinced Hendrix to record the song as they were buddies in England at the time and hanging at the studio.

The king of the SG. This was from 2007 but he has been doing this since the early 70's. Not many faster or louder. When he played the lights in town dimmed.

love this tune by ZZ and it was made for VH to play

Bryan, I cant believe you know that Stone Free album of hendrix covers! I've seen Living Colour 15 times live. My old band was heavily influence by them. I actually got into jazz 15 years ago from Vernon reid.

Just because I'm a left leaning liberal doesn't mean I don't have good taste in music... when I'm not listening to NPR/BBC at work, I have Pandora playing tunes in the background all day. I put LC in one of the posts about bands who should be/have been more popular...

I grew up in a house full of blues, Dead and Rock n Roll, ... that's why I said Tautog01's posts will go up once he found this forum, he pays as much attention to music as blackfishing...
(Tautog01 = RIRockhound Sr.)

I have that Hendrix tribute disc too....some great songs on it...some just okay...thanks for reminding me bout it..I'll put it back in rotation!!

my favorite tune on that cd was the PM Dawn cover

here tis....
