Biography

American modern electric blues guitar virtuoso; lyricist, vocalist. Born: 27 November 1942, Seattle, USA – Died: 18 September 1970, London, UK. A self-taught guitarist, Hendrix began his musical career backing such R&B greats as Ike and Tina Turner, Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, Little Richard, The Isley Brothers, B.B. King and Curtis Knight. Brought to London from New York by former Animals bassist [a=Chas Chandler], Hendrix quickly established himself as the brightest new star on the burgeoning progressive rock scene of late 1966. Along with bassist [a=Noel Redding] and drummer [a=Mitch Mitchell] he formed [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/255672-Jimi-Hendrix-Experience-The]The Jimi Hendrix Experience[/url]. After a landmark appearance at the Monterey Pop festival, their debut album [url=http://www.discogs.com/Jimi-Hendrix-Experience-Are-You-Experienced/master/24497]Are You Experienced[/url] was released in the US September 1967. The album, and its 1968 successors - [url=http://www.discogs.com/Jimi-Hendrix-Experience-Axis-Bold-As-Love/master/24511]Axis: Bold As Love[/url] and the seminal blues-oriented developments of [url=http://www.discogs.com/Jimi-Hendrix-Experience-Electric-Ladyland/master/24535]Electric Ladyland[/url] - earned Hendrix international acclaim as a premier rock instrumentalist and innovator of his generation. A 'greatest hits' collection, "Smash Hits" (1969), and an in-concert memento of his historic Monterey appearance, "Otis Redding / Jimi Hendrix Experience at Monterey" (1970), followed before his untimely death. A posthumous studio album, "The Cry Of Love", was released in January of 1971, followed by the double album soundtrack to the documentary film "Jimi Hendrix" in June of 1973.

LYRICS

The things that I used to do, lord, I won't do no more
The things that I used to do, lord, I won't do no more
I used to sit and hold your hand darlin' and cry, oh babe do not go
I used to search all night for you darlin'
Lord, and my search would always end in vain
I used to search all night for you darlin'
Lord, and my search would always end in vain
But I knew all the time darlin' that you was hid out wit' your other man

I'm goin' to send you back to your mama darlin'
Lord, and I'm goin' back to my family too
I'm goin' to send you back to your mama darlin'
Lord, and I'm goin' back to my family too
Nothin' I can do to please ya' darlin' I just can't get along with you
