Groove Maker (1997)/ Hendrix, Jimi ; Youngblood, Lonnie

"A 3 disc set; Groove Maker is comprised of 3 CDs, one of which contains no Jimi Hendrix content at all! The other two are made up of very early Hendrix stuff, mainly when he was a sideman. The first disc supposedly features Jimi playing guitar for Little Richard.Pretty good Little Richard tracks, but you didn't pay for Little Richard, you paid for Jimi. Disc 2, subtitled Classic Sessions, is a little better and features some tracks with Jimi performing with King Curtis and a few tracks, mistitled, from the jam at the Scene Club; the one featuring Jim Morrison, among others. Disc 3 features Jimi back when he was a session player with Lonnie Youngblood. Quality is okay for the most part, though disc one seems to come from an LP. But as it doesn't feature Jimi at all, who cares right? :) If you're ready to take the step from Hendrix fan, to Hendrix fanatic, these recordings will eventually enter into your collection."|
