Machine gun
Tearing my body all apart
Machine gun, yeah
Tearing my body all apart
Evil man make me kill ya
Evil man make you kill me
Evil man make me kill you
Even though were only families apart
Well I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber
(you know what I mean)
Hey! and your bullets keep knocking me down
Hey, I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber now
Yeah, but you still blast me down to the ground
The same way you shoot me down, baby
Youll be going just the same
Three times the pain,
And your own self to blame
Hey, machine gun
I aint afraid of your mess no more, babe
I aint afraid no more
After a while, your, your cheap talk dont even cause me pain,
So let your bullets fly like rain
cause I know all the time youre wrong baby
And youll be going just the same
Yeah, machine gun
Tearing my family apart
Yeah, yeah, alright
Tearing my family apart

Electric Ladyland – Hendrix
Posted by admin | Under Jimi Hendrix Thursday Jul 17, 2008
With Electric Ladyland, Hendrix took psychedelic experimentation as far as he could within the original Experience trio format. That meant pushing the barriers of late-’60s studio technology as far as they could bend, particularly with regard to multi-tracking and effects that could only be achieved through certain treatments and manipulation of the tape itself. It also meant greater freedom and looseness in the playing and the songwriting, which could be both a plus and a drawback, as the compositions became both less constricted and less concise. Not all of the material here is top-of-the-line, but certainly much of this is Hendrix at his best: the dreamy wah-wah guitars of “Rainy Day, Dream Away” were only matched by the dreaminess of the lyrics, and “Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)” and “Gypsy Eyes” were also standouts. “1983…(A Merman I Should Turn to Be)” and “Voodoo Chile” were lengthy cuts dominated by jam-like instrumental passages; “Crosstown Traffic” and a cover of Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower,” by contrast, were two of his catchiest and most pop-friendly tunes. “Voodoo Chile,” “Voodoo Child (Slight Return),” and a cover of Earl King’s “Come On” are three of his most determined forays into the blues, albeit the blues as fed through a nearly avant-garde filter. Originally released as a double album, the CD reissue fits the entire recording onto one 75-minute disc.

Are You Experienced? [Import]
Posted by admin | Under Jimi Hendrix Wednesday May 14, 2008![Are You Experienced? [Import]](http://bestbluesmusic.findfastr.com/wpshopping/uploads/1921337428.jpeg)
One of the most stunning debuts in rock history, and one of the definitive albums of the psychedelic era. On Are You Experienced?, Jimi Hendrix synthesized various elements of the cutting edge of 1967 rock into music that sounded both futuristic and rooted in the best traditions of rock, blues, pop, and soul. It was his mindboggling guitar work, of course, that got most of the ink, building upon the experiments of British innovators like Jeff Beck and Pete Townshend to chart new sonic territories in feedback, distortion, and sheer volume. It wouldn’t have meant much, however, without his excellent material, whether psychedelic frenzy (”Foxey Lady,” “Manic Depression,” “Purple Haze”), instrumental freakout jams (”Third Stone From the Sun”), blues (”Red House,” “Hey Joe”), or tender, poetic compositions (”The Wind Cries Mary”) that demonstrated the breadth of his songwriting talents. Not to be underestimated were the contributions of drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding, who gave the music a rhythmic pulse that fused parts of rock and improvised jazz. Many of these songs are among Hendrix’s very finest; it may be true that he would continue to develop at a rapid pace throughout the rest of his brief career, but he would never surpass his first LP in terms of consistently high quality. The British and American versions of the album differed substantially when they were initially released in 1967; MCA’s 17song CD reissue does everyone a favor by gathering all of the material from the two records in one place, adding a few Bsides from early singles as well.
