Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland ’68. I also had fun with the bass and made it distorted similar to what I also heard from the live recording. The drums were a bit of a challenge to arrange but the Jamstix virtual drummer software I use gets her done. I used a Jazz waltz at 160bpm with the Carmine Appice drummer model banging away. If I keep going I think I will have the whole Are you experienced album…..stay tuned folks theres more on the way…ha ha ha!

My first thought, honestly, was, oh boy, someone's messing with Jimi again . . . then I pressed play. This one is done with reverence, my friends. Excellent cover. Dig.

Great cover...kinda know where he's coming from, though more recently manic depression has been re-labelled a bipolar bear syndrome!:-)Oh yes, there's a song in that, I just haven't recorded it...yet!

Yes. Captain Beyond was remnants of Iron Butterfly, Rod Evans original vocalist for Deep Purple(One of my favorite vocalists ever), and johnny Winter. You nailed it. Psychedelic Jazz Rock mostly. They're one of my all time faves. Check out live at montreaux on youtube with Captain Beyond. Thanks for stopping by Peace

Well done. Curious how royalties work when covering music for free? Do you have to pay anyone anything? Hendrix is awesome. Good cover. Out of Hendrix I have I don't know this song. The riffs remind me of Dancing madly Backwards by Captain beyond. Though almost without a doubt Hendrix did it first. Captain beyond was 1971 I think.

..again, totally authentic feel and sounds from you - which isn't any wonder when one considers that an anagram of your name is: 'A Jimi Dream, Son'..
