August 23, 1967 marked the release of The Jimi Experience's debut album- "Are You Experienced", starting a fire that we all stand next to right this minute-- and it's still hot!The SEVENTEEN! tracks include Purple Haze, Hey Joe, Fire, Foxy Lady, Stone Free, Highway Chile, Third Stone From the Sun, etc.
How's that for a debut lineup!
John Ridley at The Huffington Post writes a cool article about it.
Yeah, 40 years folks! The late Bernie Rico Sr., founder of B.C. Rich Guitars, once mentioned in a interview that whenever a Hendrix tune came on the radio in the BC Rich shop, all work would cease. They wouldn't even answer the phones.
Tomorrow, you know what you gotta listen to.
