Although these 25 tracks recorded between 1941 and 1956 may well have inspired Jimi Hendrix in his early years, they also inspired a whole lot of other people as well, since every one of these sides is a classic and, taken together, they make for a nice and diverse "jukebox" in almost anyone's name. Included here are immortal cuts like Elmore James' slide guitar gem "Dust My Broom" from 1951, Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog" from 1953, Miles Davis' version of Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight" from 1955, Bill Doggett's instrumental "Honky Tonk" from 1956, and Fats Domino's easy-rolling "Blueberry Hill", also from 1956. It's a nice set, whether one cares to bring Jimi Hendrix into it or not. JIMI HENDRIX'S JUKEBOX: THE SONGS THAT INSPIRED THE MAN was released on 26th March 2007 by Chrome Dreams in UK. Seeing Elvis in 1957 changed Jimi’s life, so ''Blue Suede Shoes'' starts, but some names aren’t so expected: Hendrix tried to record with Miles Davis, here represented by two mid-50s cuts, before money intervened. His version of Robert Petway’s ''Catfish Blues'' evolved into ''Voodoo Chile'', while the young Johnny ''Guitar'' Watson’s startling ''Space Guitar'' from 1954 is eye-opening, with its stutters, shrieks and talking guitar style which Hendrix made, seem like, his own. On JIMI HENDRIX'S JUKEBOX: THE SONGS THAT INSPIRED THE MAN much of his early inspiration is collected together to provide a fascinating background to the emergence of quite possibly Rock Music's finest musician and one of its best songwriters. It was songs and performances such as these that were to prove a vital starting point for the heady body of work Hendrix left us all to remember him by. All genres are covered, illustrating how such an eclectic taste can contribute to the creation of a musical genius. Hendrix’s adolescence and scuffling days on the Chitlin Circuit exposed him to a gamut of musicians and stage shows which helped shape the Technicolor guitar demon that set the world on fire. This CD might seem like a disparate bunch of great tunes from the rock and blues archives but, as music historian Derek Barker’s informative booklet says, it also represents genres that Hendrix loved or was influenced by, as well as figures who crossed his path or influenced his playing and stage act along with songs he covered. Put in a dime and cavort!
