Song Note : "This was the last song Hendrix performed live. On September 6, 1970, which was 12 days before his death, he played it at a concert in Germany"

"This was one of several standout wah-wah popularized songs, alongside Cream's "White Room" and Isaac Hayes' "Theme from 'Shaft'." Hendrix was considered a master of the wah-wah pedal"

"In 1970, this was released as a single in the UK a week after Hendrix died. It became his only #1 hit"

"Hendrix dedicated the album to his groupies, who he called "Electric Ladies'. "

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

Live at WoodStock 1969

Purple Haze Lyric

PURPLE HAZE ALL IN MY BRAIN
LATELY THINGS JUST DON'T SEEM THE SAME
ACTIN' FUNNY, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY
'SCUSE ME WHILE I KISS THE SKY

PURPLE HAZE ALL AROUND
DON'T KNOW IF I'M COMIN' UP OR DOWN
AM I HAPPY OR IN MISERY?
WHATEVER IT IS,THAT GIRL PUT A SPELL ON ME

HELP ME HELP ME
OH NO NO...NO

YEAH
PURPLE HAZE ALL IN MY EYES
DONT KNOW IF IT'S DAY OR NIGHT
YOU'VE GOT ME BLOWIN, BLOWIN MY MIND
IS IT TOMORROW OR JUST THE END OF TIME?

NO, HELP ME AW YEAH! OH NO NO OH HELP ME

Song Note : "Hendrix claimed this was inspired by a dream where he was walking under the sea. In the dream, he said a purple haze surrounded him, engulfed him and got him lost. It was a traumatic experience, but in his dream his faith in Jesus saved him"

"Part of the lyrics were formed from some of Jimi's free verse ramblings that he jotted down from time to time"

"This song was written under the guidance of Hendrix' manager, ex-Animals bassist Chas Chandler. They had just released Hendrix' first single, a cover of Tim Rose's "Hey Joe" and were looking for a follow up. Chandler was impressed when he first heard the riff, and inspired Jimi to finish writing the song"

"Hendrix claimed this had nothing to do with drugs, but it's hard to believe they weren't an influence. The lyrics seem to vividly portray an acid trip, and Hendrix was doing plenty of drugs at the time"

"Hendrix wrote the lyrics on the day after Christmas in 1966. He wrote a lot more than what made it to the song"

"This contains one of the most misheard lyrics ever, with "Scuse me while I kiss the sky" interpreted as "Scuse me while I kiss this guy." Hendrix added to the confusion by sometimes singing it that way and pointing to one of his band members"

"A month before Hendrix died, he opened a recording studio in Greenwich Village called Electric Lady. One of the studios is known as "Purple Haze" and contains a purple mixing board. The studios have remained active with The Clash, Weezer, Patti Smith and Alicia Keys all recording there at some point"

Jimi Hendrix - The Wind Cries Mary

Live at StockHolm Sweden 1987

The Wind Cries Mary Lyric

AFTER ALL JACKS ARE IN THEIR BOXES
AND THE CLOWNS HAVE ALL GONE TO BED
YOU CAN HEAR HAPPINESS STAGGERING ON DOWN THE STREET
FOOTPRINTS DRESSED IN RED

AND THE WIND WHISPERS MARY

A BROOM IS DREARILY SWEEPING
UP THE BROKEN PIECES OF YESTERDAY'S LIFE
SOMEWHERE A QUEEN IS WEEPING
SOMEWHERE A KING HAS NO WIFE

AND THE WIND CRIES MARY

THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS THEY TURN A BLUE TOMORROW
AND SHINE THER EMPTINESS DOWN ON MY BED
THE TINY ISLAND SAGS DOWNSTREAM
CAUSE THE LIFE THAT LIVED IS DEAD

AND THE WIND SCREAMS MARY

WILL THE WIND EVER REMEMBER
THE NAMES IT HAS BLOWN IN THE PAST
AND WITH ITS CRUTCH ITS OLD AGE AND ITS WISDOM
IT WHISPERS "NO, THIS WILL BE THE LAST"

AND THE WIND CRIES MARY

Song Note : "Jimi wrote this in 1967 for Are You Experienced?, inspired by his girlfriend at the time named Kathy Mary Etchingham. He'd gotten into an argument with her about her cooking. She got very angry and started throwing pots and pans and finally stormed out to stay at a friend's home for a day or so. When she came back, Jimi had written 'The Wind Cries Mary' for her"

"Jimi wrote the song quietly in his apartment and didn't show it to anybody. After recording "Fire" (which was about his sexual relationship with Kathy), he had 20 minutes to spare in the recording studio, so he showed it to the band. They managed to record it in the 20 minute period they had"

"A lot of people assumed this was about marijuana, which is also known as 'Mary Jane'. "

"This was the third single from Are You Experienced?."

Jimi Hendrix - Angel(Acoustic)

Listen to Rare Acoustic Guitar by Hendrix

Angel Lyric

Angel came down from heaven yesterday,
Stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
She said, I'll come back again to see you tomorrow
And I said fly on, my sweet angel. Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel. Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side
Sure enough,This woman came home to me
Silver wings silhouetted against a childs sunrise
And my angel, She said unto me, today is the day for you to rise
Take my hand, you're gonna be my mind, And she took me high over yonder
And I said fly on, my sweet angel. Fly on through the sky
Fly on, my sweet angel. Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side

Song Note : "Hendrix got the idea for this from a dream where his mother came down from heaven to take him with her."

"Hendrix started working on this in 1967 along with "Little Wing," which was a similar song. He gave up on it, but pulled it out and recorded it on July 23, 1970 - just a few months before his death on September 18, 1970."

Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing

Rare

Little Wing Lyric

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
and fairytales That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind. When I'm sad,
she comes to me with a thousand smiles,
she gives to me free It's alright
she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
anything anything
Fly on little wing,Yeah
yeah, yeah, little wing

Song Note : "This song was inspired by the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, a concert held during 3 days of the "Summer of Love" (1967) featuring The Who, The Byrds, Janis Joplin, and many others. Attended by about 200,000 music fans, it happened 2 years before Woodstock. Jimi wrote about the atmosphere at the festival as if it was a girl. He described the feeling as "Everybody really flying and in a nice mood." He named it "Little Wing" because he thought it could just fly away."

"This is one of the songs that had to be remixed just before the album was released when one of the master tapes went missing. No one ever found out what happened to the original tape but its been speculated that Jimi either accidentally left the tape in a taxi or purposely disposed of the tape because he wasn't satisfied with its sound."

"Hendrix has described this as being one of the few he likes from this album. He said "Little Wing" is "like one of those beautiful girls that come around sometimes." Hendrix enjoyed writing slow songs because it was easier to put emotion into them."

sayin Foxy Foxy Foxy lady Foxy lady

Song Note : "This is a very sexual song that was probably inspired by Heather Taylor, who eventually married Roger Daltrey, the lead singer for The Who"

"In the booklet for the Experience Hendrix CD, Hendrix was quoted as saying this was the only happy song he had ever written. He said that he usually just doesn't feel happy when writing songs."

"Hendrix opened for The Monkees on their 1967 tour. When he played this, the young girls who came for The Monkees and had no interest in Hendrix shouted "Davy!" when Hendrix sang "Lady," resulting in "Foxy Davy," and turning it into a tribute to their idol, Monkees lead singer Davy Jones."
