Super User Hookemdown. Posted November 2, 2008 Super User Posted November 2, 2008 SRV - Texas Flood Jimi Who? Quote
Super User Muddy Posted November 2, 2008 Super User Posted November 2, 2008 On an Austin City Limits interview: Stevie said Yeah I can play what Jimi wrote, but the point here is he wrote it. Stevie, had he had more time to mature and play would have taken it to a whole new level. Never, ever diminish the importance of Jimi on Steve in particular and every electric player who came after him 8-) I am a huge SVR fan, I was blessed to see him frequently, but to say Jimi who, that is out in left field of Fenway somewhere Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted November 2, 2008 Author Super User Posted November 2, 2008 Without Jimi, we wouldn't have the music that we have today.(We'll, the music we had 30 years ago. Today's music is terrible.) Jimi started everything, that is a indisputable fact. He changed music. I just like SRV better. (p.s. - don't ever stick me in the same left field as Manny ) Quote
Super User Muddy Posted November 2, 2008 Super User Posted November 2, 2008 HOOKEM YOU DA MAN! I figured if you dissed Jimi that waym than you derevred to be in Manny's Company! ;D Hookem: there are CD's coming out every week from the Likes of Dr.John, Jon Cleary, Winton Marsallis,Robert Cray, Tower of Power and Santana to name a few, I think we all confuse popular radio as representing all tha music being mad today and that is a lie. I wuold suggest you Google LIVING BLUES, I believe it is a magazine published by Ol Miss's music dept If You Ask J Francho, he is up on a lot of superior music abd CATT knows a whole lot about Cajun and Zydeco. Listen to WWOZ.com, some local college stations there are a lot of Blues, Soul and Jazz, as well as Cajun and Zydeco music around to keep your ears happy Bob Dylan has won 9 Grammys in the last 10 years, 5 for Love Sick alone, I think they just announce him, he gets very little air play LOVE SICk is a monster album, about his disenchanment with Male/female realtionships. The industry wants to keep selling him as a political folk singer, which he was fro a minute of his life. He rights whats about right in front of him and the A7R guys do not know how to sell that all the time Do not give up with a little foot work you can find more great contemparary music than you will have time to listen to! 8-) Quote

But you could take that back even farther to the older musicians (specifically Blues musicians) that influenced Jimi so much also. Quote

Super User Muddy Posted November 3, 2008 Super User Posted November 3, 2008 Somone must have played Wipeout on your head Dick Dale doesnt belong in the same thread as Jimi and Steve!!!!!!! AAHHHH!!! PIPELINE, SRV did a pretty wild tribute to the Ventures didn't he. They used to play Mosrite Guitars 8-) Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I have a bunch of Ventures on vinyl. 8-) Quote
dave Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I think that hearing SRV do Jimi can give you a better appreciation for Jimi's writing. Jimi played it and it sounded great. SRV plays it and you say WOW! He brought out the best in Jimi's music, better I think than Jimi did. Quote
Super User Muddy Posted November 3, 2008 Super User Posted November 3, 2008 Actually he payys him almost note for note, Stevies real magic was starting to show in his own tunes Even in Voodoo child, every solo comes from Jimis various takes of it including 2 acoustics. Remember Jimi had the head, the baisc melody of the tune and would IMPOVISE , ecah solo and I can tell you I have beeen blessed to have seen the two of them, both a number of times, and Stevie was getting to where Jimi was, he just need more time. Jimi never played the same tunes alike, he was a joy and an adventure to experience. He is the one person I would have loved to play drums behind, that will just have to reamin a dream. For the younger guys: Unfortunatley Jimi's live stuff ( how I judge a musician) can not be apreciated the way SRV life performances can, because of the limitations of the recording applications of the day. He had just a few enhancers available and baiscally used the feedback properties of jos Marshalls to get a lot of the sound he achieved. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Hookem - thanks for the video. That was awesome 8-) Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 3, 2008 Super User Posted November 3, 2008 If you like SRV, check out other texas blues roots like Blind Lemon Jefferson, T-Bone Walker, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Freddie King... Lightnin' Hopkins with Sonny Terry on harmonica is one of the absolute best harmonica-guitar duos in history. The stuff they did together is more like delta blues but it is still great. Also Sonny Terrry and Brownie McGhee, as McGhee is a much stronger singer than Lightnin' or Sonny but probably not as good on the guitar as Lightnin' IMO Quote
