Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:Jimi Hendrix
Song:Machine Gun
Album:Voodoo Child:The Jimi Hemdrix Collection




Though he had a very brief solo career, Jimi Hendrix is considered to be one of the greatest guitarists in pop music history. His mundane beginnings as a sideman for R & B groups like the Isley Bros. did not foresee what Animals bassist Chas Chandler saw when he discovered Hendrix in a New York club. His music is still very fresh today. The 2CD Voodoo Child comp is probably a reasonable introduction for beginners. It samples all of Jimi's recordings. Machine Gun was recorded live at the Fillmore East in New York Jan. 1, 1970 with the Band Of Gypsies. It also appears on the 2CD Live At The Fillmore East reissued by MCA in 1999. That is highly recommended.
