Jimi Hendrix - Hear My Train A Comin (2013)
James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an
American musician, singer, and songwriter. Despite a relatively brief
mainstream career spanning four years, he is widely regarded as one of
the greatest and most influential electric guitarists in the history of
popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th
century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the
greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music.
Born in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at the age of
15. In 1961, he enlisted in the US Army; he was granted an honorable
discharge the following year. Soon afterward, he moved to Clarksville,
Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the chitlin' circuit, eventually
earning a place in the Isley Brothers' backing band and later finding
work with Little Richard, with whom he continued to play through
mid-1965. He then joined Curtis Knight and the Squires before moving to
England in late 1966 after having been discovered by bassist Chas
Chandler of the Animals. Within months, Hendrix had earned three UK top
ten hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience: "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", and
"The Wind Cries Mary". He achieved fame in the US after his performance
at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and in 1968 his third and final
studio album, Electric Ladyland, reached number one in the US. The
double LP was Hendrix's most commercially successful release and his
first and only number one album. He headlined the Woodstock Festival in
1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 as the world's highest-paid
performer before dying from barbiturate-related asphyxia on September
18, 1970, at the age of 27.
Hendrix was inspired musically by American rock and roll and electric
blues. He favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and
was instrumental in developing the previously undesirable technique of
guitar amplifier feedback. He helped to popularize the use of a wah-wah
pedal in mainstream rock, and was the first artist to use stereophonic
phasing effects in music recordings. Holly George-Warren of Rolling
Stone commented: "Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an
electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with
feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others
into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues
with which he began.
Hendrix was the recipient of several music awards during his lifetime
and posthumously. In 1967, readers of Melody Maker voted him the Pop
Musician of the Year and in 1968, Billboard named him the Artist of the
Year and Rolling Stone declared him the Performer of the Year. Disc and
Music Echo honored him with the World Top Musician of 1969 and in 1970,
Guitar Player named him the Rock Guitarist of the Year. The Jimi Hendrix
Experience was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and
the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. Rolling Stone ranked their three
studio albums, Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, and Electric
Ladyland, among the 100 greatest albums of all time and they ranked
Hendrix as the greatest guitarist and the sixth greatest artist of all
time.
