I'm not very good at this blog thing as you can plainly see, it's been almost two years sense my last entry, but I thought I would give it a try one more time.
We just finished up the Hendrix Experience Tour 2008 on Nov 7th, & I must be honest I'm a bass player, so Jimi Hendrix has never been on my must listen to list, this is the second year we have done the tour & it was even better this year than last year, I can truly understand why he is still considered one of the greatest guitar players of all time, he was ahead of his time with some of the things he did with time & sound.
If you missed the tour this year, you missed some of the best young guns in the business, giving their portrayal of jimi Hendrix , each one giving you a different view of Jimi using his own special talent, to hear Eric Gale, Eric Johnson, Moto, Brad Whitford of Aerosmith, Johnny Lang, Kenny Wayne Sheppard,Hubert Sumlin & Buddy Guy the man that jimi listened to,to name just a few, it was great, you got close to three hours of Jimi Hendrix, you had Billy Cox who is still as solid as ever on bass,& Mitch Michell sitting in on a few songs, so I'm glad I was able to be a small part of the Hendrix Tour this year, it was a little smoother & better organized & the fans all seem like they had a great time everywhere we went, on a bit of a sad note, Mitch Michell has passed, he seem to have had such a great time on this tour, I was sorry to hear the news just a few days after the tour, I have no idea what the line up will be, but I suggest you check out the Hendrix Tour in 2009, hope you enjoyed the blog.
On a heads up notice, we will tour in 2009 with B.B.King in February so start checking now for tickets.
