choogling   14 #1 Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Jimi Hendrix back in the charts 48 years after his death, but the record sounds terrible must have been bought blind. After listening to modern blues players who are in the main copying Jimi's style. The master sounds flat and boring, the owners of his music are scraping the barrel with this one, try it on amazon before parting with your hard earned.

RiffRaff   10 #2 Posted March 19, 2018 "People, Hell and Angels" was bad as well in my opinion. I think Eddie Kramer should shoulder much of the blame, particularly after praising both albums to the hilt. The tracks are basically outtakes, which would've never seen the light of day when JH was alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Total avarice and a complete lack of respect for whichever artist is being discredited by the issuance of rubbish. Make no mistake, outtakes are what they are, which is an inferior product, discarded by the artist as not up to his standards.

Ontarian1981 Â Â 10 #7 Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) wait for the steady stream of Prince stuff, apparently theres a whole room full of recorded stuff (some finished, some not) Â Unfinished music can work as long as the vocals are good. Other instruments can be added to embellish the recording. About 5 Buddy Holly songs, where he sang and strummed his acoustic guitar were embellished in good taste, in fact one of them is one of his best songs imo ,True Love Ways.
