| Jimi Hendrix The Star Spangled Banner (Record Plant, New York, NY, March 18, 1969) Rainbow Bridge (Original Motion Picture Sound Track) Legacy Recordings 1971 Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) was a self-taught electric guitar virtuoso. He began as a backup guitarist for R&B acts (Ike and Tina Turner, Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, Little Richard, The Isley Brothers, and B.B. King). Brought to London from New York by former Animals bassist Chas Chandler, Hendrix quickly established himself as the brightest new star on the burgeoning progressive rock scene of the early '60s. His innovative guitar style became quite influential despite his short career. While his performance of The Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock is widely known, this studio recording is quite different, and practically orchestral. |
