[HAM] Jimi Hendrix & Curtis Knight

[Kip Amore]

As a Hendrix nut I can tell you that those tunes have been floating 
around for years. To my undestanding, nobody really knows for sure who 
is on the recordings, other than Hendrix which is obvious. Hendrix would 
jam with a lot of different people pretty much constantly. Could be some 
of the Chambers Brothers band, could be Curtis Knight, could be Steve 
Windwood for all we know (but it aint). I have those tunes in the 80s on 
cassette, and I've stumbled across them again on Limewire lately.

If you want a kick, look for the bootleg of Hendrix playing a slow blues 
with Jim Morrison screaming profanities into the mic, until (you can 
hear it) he starts swinging the mic and whaps himself in the head. The 
song is called Peoples Peoples Peoples.
