just be glad im not this dumbfuck i read on RYM who said this "It's a solid cover but lacks that sense of urgency that makes the Leaves/Byrds/Love versions far superior. It sounds too laid back for a song about a guy who's on the run from shooting his wife and her lover."

every other version of the song straight up sucks ass and Jimi is the only one who could make it great

You gonna marinate on some Otis?

not now

when then

i dont dislike it at all, just a 9/10 where he has so many 10/10s

but its the song itself that mainly just isnt that interesting to me. and jimi's vocals are never a favorite part of his music to me. and its got a less adventurous solo. kinda just never saw what some people see as god tier in it

im only throwing it on when im listening to the full catalog

rvi

next time i do a soul phase

just need his voice to start actually sounding good to me then ill like him

Elric

I feel like his vocals a little bit inspired by Otis in his ad-libbing

The slow buildup over the song to the solo too such an amazing release

But yeah that production is amazing I just realized coincidentally it might have been produced by Chaz Chandler of the Animals Chaz knew

It's not just about his voice but the whole band and the way they move as a unit to propel him into the stratosphere is f***in incredible. Steve Cropper one of the MVPs of these years because he was co-writing/composing all these songs with Otis and Wilson Pickett and playing some of the most stunning lead guitar

next time ill check out a different album besides Otis Blue because hearing an album made up of 2/3 songs im either sick of or dislike isn't very exciting to me

did you know Burning Of The Midnight Lamp came out way before Ladyland? even before Axis gonna be a contender for song of '67 for sure

rvi

yeah i think we briefly discussed this a few weeks ago when i said there wasnt a huge difference to that version to the final version or something

i f***ing love it but wouldnt be a top 10 hendrix song of 67 for me

It is my favorite Hendrix song possibly because of the harpsichord

rvi

i guess this shows some of the difference in our valuing of ""wankery"" cuz i could never imagine placing a hendrix song as my favorite for any reason other than guitar goatness

Heve you heard the saga of Crosby and that song
