Jimi Hendrix: The Cry Of Love
Lenny Kaye, Rolling Stone, 1 April 1971
MAYBE ITS JUST my imagination, but the Jimi Hendrix section of my local record bin seems to have been growing at an astonishing pace lately. In recent weeks, weve been offered a bland semi-jam with Lonnie Youngblood (who?) on Maple Records, a collection of ancient tapes with the Isley Brothers (a product of Buddah, from whom it would have been nice to say that they shouldve known better), and a large assortment of bootlegs, all seemingly taken from the same series of Los Angeles Forum concerts.
