JIMI HENDRIX-WAR HEROES.

Jimi Hendrix-vocals, guitar-impeccable, intricate, fluid licks.
Mitch Mitchell-drums-dependable and sure footed.
Billy Cox-bass-firm and solid.
Noel Redding-bass on Highway Chile, Tax Free, Midnight.

Jimi Hendrix influences on others music was two fold and he was arguably the greatest electric guitarist the world has ever seen.
His revolutionary guitar style-imitated a thousand times but never equalled!
He stands out for his originality and creativity and plays with a lot of electronic and feedback.

War Heroes was released in 1972 on the Polydor label to tie with the anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death.

The music on this album is psychedelic blues rock.

My fave song is "Stepping stone"

Side One: 1. Bleeding heart 2. Highway Chile 3. Tax free 4. Peter Gunn catastrophe 5. Stepping stone (video)

Side Two: 1. Midnight 2. 3 little bears 3. Beginning 4. Izabella.
