It doesn't take much for my music geekery to completely overtake my life. That said, hearing Jimi By Himself — The Home Recordings was a revelation, highlighting just how incredible Hendrix was. I haven't stopped listening to it since my friend Eddie sent it to me earlier this week. Just incredible! Amazing! Go read that and listen to it, and then listen to it some more. Thank you.
