Drifting

Buy this album for the song "Drifting" which a friend put on a compilation for me once. Its definately one of my favourite Hendrix songs along with "1984", but it has the greatest lyrics ever written-

"Drifting on a sea of forgotten teardrops, on a lifeboat, sailing for you love, sailing home".

As a musician you can only admire that kind of imagery. I'll give it 5 stars because of that song and because Ezy Rider is superb too. I havent heard the rest of the album, I probably should buy it.

I can't believe this CD is out of print !!!

This is an endeavor where Jimi used the electronics of his Electric Ladyland studio to his best advantage. It is his rock work with some humour and upbeat offerings. Instead of being his normal otherworldly self, cuts like "My Friend" and "Belly Button Window" show Hendrix as he really was. A class A musician (perhaps the best rock guitar player of all time) and a person who could see both the seriousness of the failings of our time and the humour in that seriousness. "In From The Storm" has to be listened to several times to hear the elegance of the studio effect. Plus Emaretta Marks (of the original Hair musical cast) adds soaring vocals. I recommend it to any TRUE Hendrix fan.

Seminal Albums

A must have for any Hendrix fan. Don't end up on a desert island without it.
