Last August former white stripe JACK WHITE (aged 49 now) released one of
the best LPs of the year with powerhouse record NO NAME, his 6th solo one.
A crazed punk blues album with a total of 13 thunder strokes.
Rolling Stone: “The album is some of the best, most lively garage-blues crunch
he’s given us in many moons, with just the right amount of eccentricity thrown in.”
And we get more new music with fresh single YOU GOT ME SEARCHING.
I’m quite sure that this song was recorded during the No Name sessions.
Anyway, it’s as if Jimi Hendrix woke up from the dead for a day to play
firework guitar on this blazing blast.
Check it out.
To promote the album White played a series of small club
gigs, but next year he’ll fill bigger venues in North America.

Did you know that the late genial guitarist
JIMI HENDRIX recorded some Xmas covers
back in 1969? Here they come.
27 November 2022
The late trailblazing guitar virtuoso James Marshall, known by generations of rock fans
as JIMI HENDRIX would have celebrated his 80th birthday. He was born on 27 November 1942. To celebrate the event a new live album named LOS ANGELES FORUM April 26, 1969 came out last week.
Recorded in the spring of 1969 before a raucous sold-out audience, this captivating
L.A. Forum show by the original JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE with drummer Mitch
Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding, has never before been released in its entirety.
The LP was recorded by Wally Heider and Bill Halverson contemporaneously and remixed by Eddie Kramer (MC5). It was produced by Janie Hendrix, CEO of Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. and the sister of Jimi. The package’s liner notes are by former LA Times staff writer/critic Randy Lewis with a preface by ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons who attended the Los Angeles Forum show, having toured with the Experience, as part of The Moving Sidewalks, his pre-ZZ Top band.
ZZ TOP‘s Billy Gibson was there.
There’s also an accompanying illustrated booklet, 24-pages
in the CD release and 12-pages in the 2LP release.
Order info here.

JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE: Bio – Discography – Website
9 February 2021
Robert Fripp (best know as member of legendary prog rock band King Crimson)
and his equally famous British wife TOYAH WILLCOX (8 top 40 hits and over more
than 20 LPs) are entertaining us every week, for a while now, with covering classic
crackers.
Last week they fabricated a rambling cover of Joan Jett’s I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll, and
now they show their love for the late great guitar genius Jimi Hendrix. The couple’s rendition of his awesome 1967 killer Purple Haze is – as we are already used to by
now – crazy, creaking and squeaking, screamy and noisy, and big fun to watch.
Excuse me while I kiss the sky…
Jimi’s original…
1 December 2020
A couple of weeks ago a JIMI HENDRIX documentary called Music, Money, Madness… Jimi Hendrix in Maui saw the day of light. It’s the incredible story of a gig by the late genial sound-breaking guitarist, in front of a few hundred spectators, on a windy cow
farm, next to a volcano, on the island of Maui in Hawaii.
A pretty special picture/video/Blu-ray according to British music magazine UNCUT: “Directed by John McDermott, Music, Money, Madness – Jimi Hendrix Experience Live In
Maui attempts to unpick a wild tale with the help of a tremendous batch of interviewees.”
All details and full review here.
Here’s the cool trailer…
Together with the video/ Blu-ray version a package Live In Maui – a 2 CD set or 3 LP set
is included, featuring Hendrix, Billy Cox, and Mitch Mitchell at the height of their playing powers, newly restored and mixed by longtime Hendrix engineer Eddie Kramer. You
can buy all the stuff here.
