Last week's show featured tracks from the newly-released Jimi Hendrix album, Valleys of Neptune, and just a few days before that show I started looking around to see if there were any interesting cover versions of classic Hendrix songs.  I expected to find a few versions of "Purple Haze" (I found over 40) and maybe a few others, since I knew of at least one Hendrix-tribute album, and of course Stevie Ray Vaughan threw down the gauntlet with a Hendrix cover on almost every album.  But I found hundreds: jazz, orchestral, funk, bluegrass - even an all-sitar tribute album(!) - from all over the world.

So this week's I.W.H. will feature a few more tracks from the new album, a Hendrix rarity or two, and a whole bunch of really creative interpretations of his work, from both obscure artists and well-known ones, such as Taj Mahal, Bootsy Collins & George Clinton, Eric Clapton and of course The Roto Rooter Good Time Christmas Band.  This offer available only to current residents of the third stone from the sun.

Tuesday 3/16/10  8-10PM  REBROADCAST Friday midnight after P5K.
