It's a really solid record and head and shoulders above anything contemporary ploughing a comparable musical field (Govt Mule anyone?)though some of the reviews are surprisingly brutal. Listening to this set you get the feeling that Hendrix is more alive and relevant in 2010 than any blues rock guitar players who are actually still with us in body.There's not much around from this century that is unmissbale from the blues rock traditionalist wing of rock n roll - this and the last couple of Black Crowes albums. That's it. Doesn't say much for 40 years worth of "development" in classic rock as a genre.
Rite on. Crowes and all. Good call.
Picked up Valleys today at my lovely local hole-in-the-wall independent record emporium, haven't played yet as have other things to do with my brain first but looking madly forward.
