Hendrix blues

Buddy Guy "A man & the blues" good recording, Otis Spann on piano.

Just noticed this post was ancient. Good record though.

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"

To comment on some of the previous posts. The Hendrix BBC recordings are currently available on CD and Vinyl. 

And Hendrix In The West. I remember having the record in the 1970's.
Wore it out back then. I wanted to replace with CD, and was excited when it was rereleased. Unfortunately, my favorite track, Little Wing, was not the original due to licensing issues. More recently I got the the 4 CD Hendrix boxset, and 3 tracks from the original In The West record are on there: Little Wing, Red House and Voodoo Chile. And they sound better than I remember. Lots of great stuff across the 4 CD's. Well worth the $30.

Listen to Jimi on the album ’What’d I say’. Not particularly well recorded, BUT if you like Blues...his rendition of Driving South is truly astounding! The whole record is killer..and shows, at least to me, that Jimi was one of the best blues players ever...maybe the best!!
