Hablar de Jimi Hendrix para mi es recordar esas tardes en la casa de un buen amigo, poniendo sus discos en su viejo radiocassette de cinta, donde el mp3 no tenia cabida en nuestras vidas, eran tardes de esencia de música. Como este disco que nos regala los oidos el desaparecido Hendrix. Esencia en estado puro. La historia del disco tiene algo de miga ya que la versión de 1997 de Rising First Rays of the New Sun, fue un intento de construir finalmente el álbum que nunca Jimi Hendrix tuvo la oportunidad de completar. Consistía en grabaciones de estudio inéditas que Jimi trabajó después de la desaparición de la "The Experience". Aunque Mitch Mitchell todavía está presente en algunas de las canciones, mucha de la música que grabó con el bajista Billy Cox y su nuevo baterista, Buddy Miles, ambos de los cuales irían a realizar la banda en potencia, Band Of Gypsys . En este punto, uno se debe estar preguntándo dónde está exactamente o donde esta la esencia de People, Hell & Angels?. Pues bien, eran los planes iniciales para el álbum oficial (First Rays of the New Rising Sun), así que es como una liberación adicional de las canciones que no encajaban en el proyecto bajo el nombre People, Hell And The Angels. En otras palabras, se trata de la secuela prolongada de tomas raras y encarnaciones tempranas de First Rays of the New Rising Sun. Por lo tanto, lo que aquí ofrece es una oportunidad de ver cómo estas canciones han evolucionado con el tiempo y la forma de que Jimi planeaba para este quinto álbum.
Fue un período de transición en la carrera de Jimi, y al instante uno percibe la forma de la música que expresa. A
pesar de las grabaciones de First Rays of the New Rising Sun que
tienen lugar inmediatamente después de la liberación de uno de los
esfuerzos de la psicodelia de señal más aclamados, Electric Ladyland,
este disco en particular muestra que Jimi empezaba a desviarse de las
innovaciones elaboradas y adopaba un estilo mucho más simple. People,
Hell & Angels podría de una manera de ser considerado como el debut "real" de Band of Gypsys, porque no sólo es la mayor parte del contenido
construido por sus miembros, sino que también revela el sonido intrínseco de
blues-rock de un grupo que se convertiría en venerado. Inmediatamente "Earth Blues" abre el álbum, y ya podemos escuchar a otra persona con Jimi Hendrix tocando la guitarra. No
hay capas de distorsión o excesivas wah-wah tan famosas de Hendrix, sino decoraciones que
se pueden encontrar en la ejecución de sus riffs y trabajo en
solitario de blues 'electrificado". Incluso los coros vocales que acompañan a Jimi, tienen esta influencia visible derivada de la música gospel y soul. El
sonido de Band Of Gypsys a menudo ha sido reconocida como un intento de
Jimi para volver a conectar con el del sur y las "raíces" del blues
tradicional, ayudando a añadir un tono conmovedor a un puñado de temas. "Somewhere"
es una de las pocas que cuentan con el uso de la distorsión wah-wah,
pero su papel tiene un propósito diferente aquí que la encontrada en
álbumes como Axis: Bold as Love y Electric Ladyland . Los
toques de wah-wah se usan con un sentido notable de contenerse, y es
porque Jimi incorpora la técnica para aumentar simplemente la ranura de
la guitarra en lugar de su creación como una exhibición de forma
destacada de las afirmaciones psicodélicas.Como
mencioné anteriormente, una de las características principales del álbum es que está encarnado por un puñado
de canciones conocidas, aunque cada una está bajo diferentes
interpretaciones, ya sea musical o lírica. Algunas
están presentes en Rising First Rays of the New Sun, mientras que otras las hemos escuchado en numerosas ocasiones en otros álbumes de forma póstuma. Los principales ejemplos que vienen a la mente sería "Izabella" y "Hear My Train A Comin '", que prácticamente todos los fan de Jimi Hendrix ha escuchado al menos una vez, especialmente sus temas más conocidos en el festival de Woodstock. "Izabella" es una de las pocas canciones que no sólo caracteríza a Mitch Mitchell tocando junto a Jimi, sino que también exhibe a la banda un soporte de originalidad. Aunque el guitarrista Larry Lee y los percusionistas Jerry Vélez y Juma Sultan, logran hacer acto de presencia, esta versión en particular de "Izabella", no está a la altura del nivel de vitalidad carismática que se expresó en Woodstock. Además de lo larga que es, no hay mucha diferencia en su estructura y composición musical, sin embargo, esta versión de estudio carece de esa sensación cruda. En cuanto a "Hear My Train A Comin'", a aparecido en innumerables recopilaciones de diferentes cajas y grabaciones en directo, pero llegado a este punto ya no importa la variación del sonido que nos ofrece, no estamos cansados de oírla. Esta canción es sin duda una de las más célebres de Hendrix, y aunque ofrece un comportamiento de vivacidad y abundancia de solos de guitarras emocionantes, no tiene prácticamente nada nuevo.
La última parte del álbum, y sobre todo canciones como "Crash Landing", "Hey Gypsy Boy" y "Villanova Junction Blues", sienten como si les faltara algún pequeño elemento crucial necesario para acabar de hacer el álbum irresistible como en otros trabajos previos de Jimi Hendrix. "Let Me Move You" y "Mojo Man" son las únicas canciones de este álbum que realmente se sienten 'completas'. Las dos están influenciadas por el jazz y que decir que a me vuelven loco. Sin embargo, esto está lejos que sea la última vez que vamos a oír hablar de algo nuevo de Jimi Hendrix, de hecho, ya ha sido revelado que habrá varias grabaciones en directo. Como si Jimi Hendrix no tuviera ya suficientes álbumes en directo, verdad?.
Speaking of Jimi Hendrix for me is to remember those evenings at the home of a good friend, putting this album on his old radio cassette tape, where the mp3 had no place in our lives, were essentially music evenings. As this record that gives us the missing ears Hendrix. In its purest essence. The history of the disk has some crumbs as the 1997 version of First Rays of the Rising Sun New, was an attempt to finally build the Jimi Hendrix album that never had a chance to complete. It consisted of unreleased studio recordings Jimi worked after the demise of "The Experience". Although Mitch Mitchell is still present in some of the songs, much of the music he recorded with bassist Billy Cox and his new drummer, Buddy Miles, both of which would go to make the power band, Band Of Gypsys. At this point, you may be asking where exactly or where is the essence of People, Hell & Angels?. Well, were the initial plans for the official album (First Rays of the New Rising Sun), so it's like an additional release of songs that did not fit in the project under the name People, Hell And The Angels. In other words, it is the rare sequel takes prolonged and early incarnations of First Rays of the New Rising Sun. So, what we offer is a chance to see how these songs have evolved over time and how that Jimi planned for this fifth album.It was a transition period in the career of Jimi, and instantly the way you perceive the music expresses. Although the recordings of First Rays of the New Rising Sun that take place immediately after the release of one of the efforts of the most acclaimed psychedelia signal, Electric Ladyland, this particular disc shows that Jimi began to deviate from the innovations adopaba elaborate and much simpler style. People, Hell & Angels could in a way be considered as the debut "real" Band of Gypsys, because not only is most of the content built by its members, but also reveals the intrinsic sound of a blues-rock group would become revered. Immediately "Earth Blues" opens the album, and we can listen to another person with Jimi Hendrix playing guitar. No excessive layers of distortion or wah-wah Hendrix so famous, but decorations that can be found in the execution of their riffs and solo work blues electrified. "Even the vocal choirs accompanying Jimi, have this influence visible derived from gospel and soul music. The Band Of Gypsys sound has often been recognized as a Jimi attempt to reconnect with the South and the "roots" of traditional blues, helping to add a poignant tone to a handful of issues. "Somewhere" is one of the few that have the use of distortion wah-wah, but its role has a different purpose here than found in albums Axis: Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland. wah touches -wah used with a remarkable sense of restraint, and it is because Jimi incorporates the art to increase just the guitar slot instead of its creation as a prominent display of psychedelic claims.As mentioned earlier, one of the main features of the album is that it is played by a handful of well-known songs, although each is under different interpretations, whether musical or lyrical. Some are present in Rising First Rays of the New Sun, while others we have heard many times in other albums posthumously. Prime examples that come to mind would be "Izabella" and "Hear My Train A Comin '" which virtually all of Jimi Hendrix fan has heard at least once, especially her best known in the Woodstock festival. "Izabella" is one of the few songs that not only characterizes Mitch Mitchell playing alongside Jimi, but also exhibits the band a support originality. Although guitarist Larry Lee and percussionists Juma Sultan and Jerry Velez, manage to make an appearance, this particular version of "Izabella", is not up to the level of charismatic vitality expressed in Woodstock. Besides how long it is, not much difference in structure and musical composition, however, this studio version lacks that raw feeling. As for "Hear My Train A Comin '", has appeared on countless compilations of different boxes and live recordings, but at this point it does not matter the sound variation offered, we are not tired of hearing it. This song is definitely one of the most famous of Hendrix, and even offers a lively behavior and abundance of exciting guitar solos, has virtually nothing new.The last part of the album, especially songs like "Crash Landing", "Hey Gypsy Boy" and "Villanova Junction Blues", feel like they are missing a crucial element needed for small to finish the album irresistible as in previous work Jimi Hendrix. "Let Me Move You" and "Mojo Man" are the only songs on this album that really feel 'complete'. Both are influenced by jazz and to say that I'm crazy. However, this is far to be the last time we hear of something new from Jimi Hendrix, in fact, has already been revealed that there will be several live recordings. Like Jimi Hendrix did not already have enough live albums, right?.
