SURE, there CAN be......but not here.....simply have too much good matrial on the shelves, and I guess I'm comitted to rolling out most of it during this series.......SOME damn fine moments on these discs, also some forgettable ones, which, for something as comprehensive as this, is bound to happen.
Today we pick up where we left off yesterday, with "The Jimi Hendrix Studio Sessions, Volume 2".....hey TOLD you I have a tonne of this stuff, yes, we are scraping, but I DO have a couple of more scrapes before get to all the totally fab concerts I keep teasing ya with!
So as for this one, six more discs, much like volume 1.......still fairly random assembalage of various tracks, you hunt and peck an edit for what you may want......
OK, disc 1 includes sessions with Buddy Miles, Jim McCarty, and Dave Holland...they run through a fair set of stuff, ie "Valleys of Neptune", "Ezy Rider/Star spangled Banner.....decent set. Disc 2 includes the John McLauglin jams, some Experince sessons, as well as soms stuff with Buddy Miles and Billy Cox (known as the " Mannish Boy Sessions")I point that out cause Disc 3 is comprised of a LOT of "Mannish Boy" sessions (LOTS).....when we get to disc No. 4, we get various sessions: April 24 w/ Billy Cox and Rocky Issac, May 7 with Stephen Stills and Johnny Winter, and May 14 with Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell.....
Disc 5 gives us Hendrix messing around in the studo, joined by Larry Young and others on various interesting demo tracks......and Disc 6 wraps things up for this set with some sessions with Stephen Stills, John Sebastian, and Buddy Miles, also some with Miles/BillyCox....mostly this six-disc set is the participants playing around in the studio, and we DO get an interesting moment or three, we just have to search the out!
