C&L's Late Nite Music Club with Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix was long gone by the time I became president of Reprise
Records. Coincidentally, though, as a college concert chairman I had
booked the Jimi Hendrix Experience for their first appearance in the
U.S. The last time I ran into him was in a small seaside town outside
of Essaouira, my favorite spot in Morocco, in 1969. Soon after that, I
met another revolutionary artist who has changed the course of pop
music: Patti Smith.
And last week I got to hear Patti's next album, TWELVE, a collection
of a dozen covers that have meant a lot to her and to many of us. The
album starts with a brilliant and sensual rendition of Jimi's "Are You
Experienced?" (informed by lots of Beatles). Patti's album is amazing
and I'll try to get an advance for Crooks and Liars.
Meanwhile, here's the original: (Are You Experienced - video)
Oh, the other songs on Patti's album: "Helpless," "Gimme Shelter,"
"Within You Without You," "White Rabbit," "Changing of The Guard,"
"Boy in a Bubble," "Soul Kitchen," "Smells Like Teen Spirit,"
"Midnight Rider," and "Gangsta's Paradise" (kind of).
So tonight's contest: without having heard a note of it, review Patti
Smith's new album. Send your entry to downwithtyranny and if
yours is the best review, we'll send you the mindblowing 15 CD boxset
BOB DYLAN REVISITED, 15 classic albums by a master who influenced the
work of both Patti and Jimi.
