Comment:

Let's face it, [i]nobody[/i] sounded like Jimi, but in the late '60s [i]everybody[/i] wanted to. Whoever called Cream's Eric Clapton "Slowhand" obviously never heard the frantic blizzard of fuzzed-out fury in the band's live version of Robert Johnson's "Crossroads." The Chambers Brothers rip apart the very fabric of time and space with their cowbell-conking acid freak-out "Time Has Come Today," crammed into three-and-a-half minutes for the timid Top 40, but s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out to just over 11 for late-night FM. Jimi's buddy (and occasional collaborator) Arthur Lee detonates a reverb-packed powder keg — not to mention an A-bomb climax — in Love's rocket-sled slab of garage punk, "7 and 7 Is." And Jeff Beck wields his six-string like a matador's cape, swooping, slashing, and stabbing his way through "Beck's Bolero," backed by a one-shot supergroup featuring Led Zep's Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, plus Who drummer Keith Moon. From Led Zeppelin to the Allman Brothers, from Santana to the Doors, we've got every speaker-shredding feedback blast, every lightning-fingered riff that Hendrix's classmates carved into the face of rock.
