FIVE FRESH INFOS

n a 1967 Rolling Stone review of “Are You Experienced” Jon Landau wrote “Jimi Hendrix is neither a great songwriter nor an extraordinary vocalist. The poor quality of (some of the) songs, and the inanity of the lyrics, too often get in the way of the musicianship.” Same magazine but one year later, about “Axis: Bold as Love” Jim Miller wrote “Jimi Hendrix may be the Charlie Mingus of rock. … But his songs too often are basically a bore.” Well seen guys!
