It's true, Rainbow Bridge - Jimi Hendrix is his newest album released by Reprise. The album has been billed as the sound track from the movie of the same name - "Rainbow Bridge." If you notice, the album was released much earlier than the movie. The reason - to keep both the amatuer and the pro bootleggers from taping it and then passing it off as the sound track. The movie was filmed on Maui in Hawaii at the Rainbow Bridge Occult Center, Jimi appears only briefly in the flick - once shown having a strange dialogue and then again during a concert on the side of a volcano. So far the movie has been moving slowly across the country, but if you get the chance - see it - It will truly be a visual experience! In many ways this is one of Hendrix's best albums. It brings out the true Hendrix in the studio. He utilized his knowledge of electronic technology to stretch the limits of sound experience far beyond that of a live concert. In his recording studio "Electric Lady" - he unleashed himself totally - to explore regions never touched before. He controlled his tape-mixing console just like his Fender - but he wasn't into effect for gimmick - but was in search of the ultimate of sound experience. ' r~J7 ~'~ .:~ "Dolly Dagger" is the first track on the album. And what a way to start an album! He provides a pulsing guitar rhythm that sends you floating into his fantastic world of sound. The next cut - "Earth Blues" features the Ronettes (you remember them!) in the background chorus. An equally superb sound is created here. "Pali Gap" is an instrumental which brings out the jazz man of Hendrix. This one featuresJuma Edwards on percussion. "Room Full of Mirrors" is the next track with tuddy Miles on drums. Again Hendrix can draw us with him into his mirrored room where all you can see is yourself. The last cut on side one is the "Star Spangled Banner." This older version was cut in March 1969, and is not quite as lively as the in-concert one. Here he used only guitars - layer upon layer of sound. But nothing can surpass the live version. I'll never forget the first time I saw him in concert at the Spectrum in Phila. Absolutely tremendous! At that time he was still, with the original Experience. They gave a fabulous performance, topped off with the "Star Spangled Banner'' AAIIEEEE! Side two is only 3 tracks long and opens with "Look Over Yonder". This is the Get Your Free... PENN STATE Check Book Cover at the Miners Bank oldest track included. It was cut in October 1968 and features the original Experience (Mitch Mitchell on drums and Noel Reddington on bass). The next track "Hear My Train A'comin" is the only live cut on the album - taped at the I Memorial Day Concert at Berkeley. This cut reveals Hendrix, the bluesman. He incorporates both the old delta style blues with his own "Voodoo Chile" blues. Yes, he is truly a bluesman - and proves he can wail as good or even better than the rest. The final track on the album is "Hey Baby" a rather lonesome song which bares the inside yearnings of Jimi. You can almost feel the end coming - and then it does - much too soon! This is the last of Hendrix in the studio, although there may be more concert, albums to come. There is still a lot of unreleased Hendrix material that will remain unreleased because Jimi was a perfectionist and he just was not satisfied with it. Well, there you have it - Rainbow Bridge - a fine array of the various Hendrix sounds. Re c ognize his superb musicianship not only in this album, but on all of them. He was the best, but now he's gone, out of sight perhaps, but So surround yourself with his music and "....let Jimi take over..." Wherever you are, Jimi, come back soon.
