The Jimi Hendrix Experience – “One Rainy Wish” from Axis: Bold As Love [1968]
Jordy and I were Google-chatting yesterday and he revealed that he had never “gotten” Jimi Hendrix. I was pretty sick of Hendrix after playing awful covers of “Fire,” “Hey Joe,” “Purple Haze,” and “Voodoo Child” in the basement with my middle school pals, but I’ve recently re-discovered the man. Check out a less famous Hendrix track and experience some defamilarization: hear Jimi with new ears. Maybe “One Rainy Wish” will convince you, Jord-man.

I also recently re-discovered Hendrix after seeing some of his storied 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival (which was recently released on DVD). He was electric. No pun intended.
