JIMI HENDRIX

This month Phil Short examines the bluesy side of a game-changing guitarist who many still rank as the greatest and most important of all time.

TRACK RECORD Jimi’s debut and arguably most iconic record, Are You Experienced, came out in 1967 and changed the face of rock music.

To hear Jimi’s sublime blues playing, try Hendrix In The West, with its cracking extended version of Red House.
