Jimi Hendrix - Blues (New CD)

Collecting the straightest "blues" songs Jimi recorded, the emphasis here is on tradition rather than any type of LSD-fueled astral travel. Blues affords fans a good look at the way Hendrix was able to work without gimmicks, expanding the boundaries of blues music at even his most unflashy (esp. The acoustic "Hear My Train A-Comin'" that opens the album).
