Artists starting with Jim Hendrix

Jim Hendrix, “First Rays Of The New Rising Sun” (MCA, 1997; original recordings 1968-70)
Hendrix’s last studio work may not be his “best,” but it is my favorite. With a new ease and mastery but undiminished power, Hendrix moved simultaneously into proto-funk and singer-songwriter territory with an audacity and brilliance that offer tantalizing hints of how he might have revolutionized the music scene yet again had he lived. There’s a quiet intensity, a sense of hard-earned peace here that’s like nothing else.
