Experienced is not as dirty as Redhouse.... he goes on but the true-ness is in Redhouse

I use http://www.pandora.com and have created music channels with Eva Cassidy (great vocals) and Phil Keaggy (fantastic guitars).
The station starts off with an artist you name, and then you “tune” the playlist by voting yea or nay on music selections.
It has allowed me to hear lots of artists that are new or not mainstream.
Well worth recommending to spread your CD collection.
But, Hey Joe and Red House... to me.... above all other Jimmi songs... and I must study more.... are... at this point of my education.... the greatest of his songs... they are the everything. If you want to understand JH these to song hold a masterful key.. of course Purple Haze and Castles Made of Sand are important too... but as terms of blues... those to Joe and Red House ... Master Pieces.
bttt
I spelled two to.. b/c I am half retarded.
He went down to the crossroads at midnight to “talk to a man”.
=====8^O
[or it was the unusually long fingers, upside down Strat which allowed him to fret notes normally not possible and his “I don’t give a damn ‘how it’s done’” attitide]
If you want to see a great blues/rock band, check out The Derek Trucks Band if you haven't already. He's Butch Trucks' kid, and you may know his work with the Allman Brothers. His band does small rooms and they are outstanding.
Jimi’s guitar.... was like talking to me and you... it is like he spoke with every fret and string.
Just remember: two wrongs don’t make a write.
