[Jimi Hendrix] Jimi Hendrix - THE CRY OF LOVE - 1971

"The last studio sessions of the master of guitar. In my poor opinion one of the best Jimi's releases" - lowcostmusic



Jimi tragically passed away on September 18 1970, and had not released an album (of his own choosing) since "Electric Ladyland" of November 1968. However he had recorded plenty of material and by mid 1970 after the frustrating creative block of the previous year, he was putting together what would possibly have been another double album, (one of the many working titles was "First Rays Of The New Rising Sun"). Jimi mentioned that his next single release would be "Dolly Dagger". He didn't make it.
With Jimi gone, Eddie Kramer and Mitch Mitchell collected together the most finished tracks, which lacked only a few last touches. Mitch finished off one or two drum lines, Buzzy Linhart was brought in to add vibraphone (which Jimi had suggested) to "Drifting", etc. Thus, 12 tracks were mastered, virtually as Jimi had left them, but only 10 were put out on this release (the other two "Dolly Dagger" and "Room Full Of Mirrors" came out on the following release). This was a nicely balanced album, with a more direct R&B feel, and showed quite a departure from Jimi's three precedent works of the heady days of 1967/68.
