Purple Haze

Song facts

JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE: “Purple Haze” (Track) (Not released until March 24).

Must be Jimi Hendrix. So, Jimi freaks out and sounds all the better for it! It’s breaking out all over the place, you know. I thought it would be one of those things that people might keep down but, it’s breaking through all over. You can’t stop it. Hooray. This is a good record too. I really don’t know whether it’s as commercial as “Hey Joe” or “Stone Free”. I bet it is though. Probably will be. Fingers Hendrix. An absolute ace on the guitar. This is yet another incredible record from the great Twinkle Teeth Hendrix!
