Music reviews of Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues: Jimi Hendrix
Music Review: WORTH BUYING!
Rating: 5 Stars
I saw this recording and the first thing I noticed was Martin Scorsese's name above Jimi Hendrix' name. I don't know what came over me but I was intrigued and I snapped it up without a thought. Then on the way home I started thinking "What is Martin Scorsese doing? Capitalizing on Jimi Hendrix?" I thought "Even if he's a huge fan what can he (MS) possibly bring to a collection of tunes from a great axeman who left us long ago?" Buyer's remorse set in and it wasn't the purchase price, it was the premise. I'm usually disappointed and/or sorry when I buy compilation albums but that was not the case here. I don't care if either Experience Hendrix or Martin Scorsese had more control over the content and what order it was laid down, I think it's a great grouping of Hendrix playing the true blues in so many formats and situations as to be an example of both his range and versatility while also showcasing many interpretations of the blues.
The tracks are not ordered in some historical hierarchy following Jimi's growth or transition from one point to the next in his artistry, yet the order does not seem abstract either. For those who own several Hendrix recordings and see this album as redundancy, well that might be the case. Keep in mind those same folks would need to play several recordings to get this same mix of cuts; if they want to listen to it all at once they'll need to burn a custom CD for themselves. After all the pops and clicks from replaying vinyl LPs are faithfully reproduced onto their fresh new CD, they still won't have the two unreleased cuts to listen to.
The master recordings were dusted off and these tracks were laid down so that I for one, could have a unique Hendrix CD to blast over the JBL sound system in my late model old-man-sedan. What you do with the CD if you buy it, is your decision. Me? I'm going to listen to it until the laser on my car's CD changer cuts it into annular rings.
Just starting off on Hendrix? You couldn't choose a finer place to begin!
If you once owned a few Hendrix albums and they've all slipped away at the garage sales of yore, you may be wanting to re-immerse yourself. I think you'd be happier with this excellent selection of tunes than if you bought a duplicate of an album you once owned and knew well. If you need to get reacquainted with Jimi Hendrix you'll do more than that listening to this CD; you'll learn new things just by listening. After all that I must say... vinyl forever! Long Live Analog!
