Big Hendrix fan. Think He would have been proud to here this version!!!!

[atsstockburn]

@tinasdude

Yes he would have. But this is an Otis Taylor original. Hendrix covered it. Hendrix just put a heavier groove to it.

[simihm]

@atsstockburn Hendrix covered it, but so is Otis Taylor doing here. He didn't write the song, no one knows who did.

[longbombed]

@simihm Billy Roberts wrote it in the early 60's.

[Darba07]

i'm a huge hendrix and otis taylor fan, this is the only cover I've ver heard of a song that didn't bastardize the original

[sc19552]

Simply speechless when I viewed this video. This is what musical joy is all about.

[ARTURROSSAN]

SPACE - tak, zdecydowanie daje się odczuć przestrzeń w tym co grają. Świetna interpretacja, naturalnie się rozwija, wszystko pojawia się tak naturalnie. W pewnym momencie zaraz po pierwszej części coś się zmienia , skrzypce krzyczą emocjami więc reszta też się szybko otwiera - niesamowite. Zaraz po uspokojeniu wyciszanie fal na oceanie, ale echo krzyku pozostaje - wszystko idzie spokojnie aż do 8:25 i 10:15 - cholera najlepsze momenty w całym kawałku...Prawie zabiłem sąsiadów dźwiękiem :)

[prdwilson]

[tjabbala]

Gosh what a violin solo!! Brought tears to my eyes.

[roseli7741]

Fantastico . Ha perfeicao sonora

[kbdevo1962]

I agree wholeheartedly with longtimegone55's comment. I was sent this song by a friend on Last.FM while I liked the track even better than Hendrix' version, This video is linked onto that page. I watched it and was blown away. The violin is perfect for this song it fits even better than a guitar because the ethereal qualities and the subject matter are both haunting. This vid is by far my favorite version of this song..EVER. I need to explore more but I doubt that I'll find a better version.

[hellomynameis151]

This is some real stuff right here!

[slowbluesmaster]

Superb !

[Tom75E]

Fantastic, the guitar play is awesome.

[longtimegone55]

Absolutely haunting version, from the lead in melody of They Wore Blue to the long silence as the last notes die away. I love the pared down version of this band, with Chuck Campbell assuming the lead guitar role, balanced by the exquisite violin of Anne Harris. They turn this song, which most of us know from Hendrix' fiery version, into a sublime and deeply felt instrumental exploration & commentary on the original blues text. Superbly shot, great sound; I'll be back to watch this over & over.
