Hendrix blues


I just played a copy of Jimi Hendrix greatest hits and I had forgotten how much I like Hendrix. I'm normally a jazz fan. What caught my ear most were the cuts which were more "bluesey" like "Hey Joe" and "Red House". Can anyone suggest a Hendrix album which is more, or all blues?

I don't recall what video it's on, but it's Jimi's coolest version of "Hear my Train A Comin".

It is performed as a 12 string acoustic solo, in an all white set. Jimi is wearing a white suit. Jimi initially starts the intro, doesn't approve and insists on starting over.

"Well I
I wait around train station, waitin' for that train
Waitin' for that train, waitin' for that train,
To take me from this lonesome town, it happens"

Im sure a Hendrix afficianado will chime in, with some Jimi data for this particular performance?

I read that it was an impromptu performance, Hendrix was just "in the moment"
