Walter Trout, Omar Dykes, Popa Chubby, Michael Lee Firkins - Jimi Hendrix Music Festival (live) - 1998 - Provogue

The Jimi Hendrix Music Festival is composed of a number of concerts by some of the world's greatest guitarists who play songs written mostly by the great guitar guru, or inspired by him. The festival has been held on various occasions since 1991 and hopefully, will continue to take place even on an irregular basis. This CD was recorded during the successful third version in October 1996. All the songs were recorded live on Saturday October 12th 1996 at Noorderlight, Tilburg, Holland. Walter Trout plays an amazing 'Voodoo Chile' on this album, and is joined by Popa Chubby and Michael Lee Firkins, for a fantastic 17 minutes 'Red House' jam. Although this is an official album, the sound quality varies. Volume is on the low side, and sound often lacks depth and clarity even though the tracks were recorded direct from PA to 2 track DAT-cassette, and re-mastered and digitally re-edited. However, if you want to hear guitar playing at it's very best, give it a listen. It's VHR by A.O.O.F.C. Listen to Walter Trouts "Prisoner of a Dream", Omar Dykes' "Blues Bag", Popa Chubby's "Brooklyn Basement Blues", and Mike Firkins "Chapter Eleven" albums.
