In this case, Huey Lewis says it best... "sometimes, bad is just BAD!"

Not to worry - this has nothing to do with classical music, despite the fact that a string quartet is playing it ... it hurts my ears ...

As a novelty song, it ranks right up there with "Guitar-zan".

But it's interesting to hear that the actual music of Purple Haze isn't all that interesting. It was all in Hendrix's performance.

OK, so I laughed at this. But my ears will still be much happier if they never have to hear it again!

Nice transition from Dave Matthews' "Too High" - too bad I'm not a big fan of either. (Funny how Hendrix can lose so much without that feedback edge.)

Very un-original.

The Balanescu Quartet did a CD of Kraftwerk covers years ago (although I prefer Senor Coconut's Kraftwerk covers better).

This one clearly proves the exception to the rule. Even Dylan agreed that Hendrix's version is better.

Interesting, even (dare I say it) cute and amusing, and I applaud RP for playing it and Kronos for recording it. But did Hendrix EVER intend this sort of thing to happen? Is he writhing in his crypt?

No complaints here!

Not only do covers like this always make me smile, but you can always count RP to follow up with the original artist doing an even better song.

I recall Bowie using this recording to open his Glass Spider tour.

Peter Frampton off to the side in Jeans and a T-Shirt, and Bowie floating down on a chair from the top of the stage...

OK - I've been touting how great it is to have original versions of Jimi songs. This is no exception... but I gotta say - this one just doesn't do it for me. It's original and creative but.... Maybe just that I'm not a big classical fan? :-k

How can you honestly be asking for funds to support this station when we frequently have to hit the mute button to turn off this drek?


I agree it does not work. But IMO a good radio has to surprise you from time to time. This was not a good one, but I really appreciate RP eclectic touch !
