BIMONTHLY NEWS OF THE COLORADO SCENE • VOL. 23, NO. 5 • OCT. - NOV. 2017 • [email protected] 2013 KBA WINNER BLUES SOCIETY OF THE YEAR BLUES, ROCK AND SOUL by JACK HADLEY

Jimi Hendrix created a shim- mering rain- bow of music that hangs over every electric guitarist who followed him. There are traces of Guitar Shorty, Buddy Guy and other great musicians in his play- ing. Some rock fans want to claim him as their own, as if the blues never touched him. They are dead wrong. Hendrix was steeped in the blues, soul and R&B music from the very beginning. A few years ago I interviewed Nick Nixon (of Andy T. & Nick Nixon fame), a Nashville- based bluesman. Hendrix and his Army buddy, Billy Cox, were stationed at nearby Ft. Camp- bell, Kentucky in 1962. Nixon told me they would come to Nashville on the weekends to sit in with Black musicians in town, playing blues and R&B. “Sometimes we didn’t know what to think of Jimi’s playing. We just didn’t know what to do with it!” Nixon stated.

3 OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 2017 HOLLER JIMI HENDRIX BLUES, ROCK AND SOUL by JACK HADLEY

Continued from pg. 1

Hendrix and Cox would eventu- ally form the King Kasuals. This band would become the house band at the legendary Club Del Morocco in Nash- ville, backing up , B.B. King, Solomon Burke, Jackie Wil- son and many other stars of the day. Jimi and Billy played up and down Jefferson Street in Nashville, as well as the club circuit from Murfreesboro to Tullahoma. Hendrix also played with The Isley Brothers early in his career. I’ve heard some of these recordings and you can see where Jimi got some of his singing style, courtesy of The Isley’s. Jimi Hendrix stands alone as the musician who combined all the ele- ments that became the ultimate guitar- based trio. He could sing (although he JIMI HENDRIX BACKING UP SOUL LEGEND WILSON PICKETT was not as confident about his sing- IN NEW YOUR CITY, MAY 1966 ing ability) and play lead and rhythm at the same time. There was a blues swagger and feel to his guitar playing. If the blues is about emotion and giving it up to the people, Hendrix had that and more. In his book “Hendrix: Setting The Record Straight”, long-time engineer Eddie Kramer (co-written with John McDermott) said that Hendrix strug- gled with the record companies early in his career. Many of his early hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience were re- corded in studios that didn’t have the latest equipment, and they didn’t have the massive recording budgets that came later. Which makes the blues-based music he created even more magical. Jimi Hendrix was a bluesman who became a rock guitar legend. At the time of his death he was on the verge of recording with trumpeter Miles Davis. Who knows what kind of music he’d be playing today? q THE KING KASUALS IN NASHVILLE

OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 2017 HOLLER 7 Blues Quotes

“The blues. It runs through all American music. Somebody bending the note. The other is the two-beat groove. It’s in New Orleans music, it’s in jazz, it’s in country music, it’s in gospel.” - WYNTON MARSALIS

“I learned jazz; that comes from blues. I learned rock; that comes from blues. I learned pop; that comes from blues. Even dance, that comes from blues, with the answer-and-response. - CYNDI LAUPER

“The fact that we elected Obama was a sign that the black struggle inherent in the blues and so much of the music I have loved can triumph.” - JACK WHITE

6 OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 2017 HOLLER “...But between sets I’d sneak over to the black places to hear blues musicians. It got to the point where I was making my living at white clubs and having my fun at the other places. - STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN Blues Quotes “Blacks in America want to forget about slavery - the stigma, the shame. If you can’t be who you are, who can you be? How can you know what to do? We have our history. We have our book, and that is the blues.” - AUGUST WILSON
