Hendrix - Isle of Wight
Hendrix may have been thirty three sheets to the wind by the time they made it on to the stage and his own performance seriously patchy but I love Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell on this. Stoner rock that is still cogent and funk filled. Far prefer the Polydor vinyl to the reissue with the full set.

Jimi Plays Berkeley (2 sets)
More of the same but with JH on top of his game. Another one of those deceptively great Billy Cox performances. You can learn almost all there is to know about bass playing from his playing with Hendrix. The Glenn McGrath of line and length bassists.

Burning Spear - Social Living, Living Dub Vol 1
Up there with "Brand", "Umoja", "Dub Factor" and "Super Ape for a continuous, album length dub experience.


It's good to hear someone else is diggin on the Billy Cox action - one of my biggest bass influences to be sure! Likewise the bottom end on any Burning Spear disc... And come to think of it, you're no slouch yourself!!
