Excerpt from PBS: American Roots Music. ARM: A lot of people who have admired and done research on Jimi Hendrix have written that Jimi considered you one of his principle influences. That he looked up to you - and other blues men, but particularly you - because of your showmanship. Did you meet Jimi back then, and do you know about that connection? BG: Yeah, I finally met him. I was always told, "If you never make New York, you never make it." And I finally got to a blues club there, I think it was 1967, and I was going wild as usual, and somebody kept hollering, "There's Hendrix, there's Hendrix." And I say, "Who the hell is that?" 'cause I really didn't know him at that time. And he was crawling up with a tape recorder and asking me, could he tape that? We became pretty close from that night on. And every time I went through New York or somewhere he would show up and we would jam together. I think he was the first one I saw use the wah-wah pedal. ARM: Do you see Jimi Hendrix as a blues artist, as opposed to someone who was just interested in psychedelic rock? What are Jimi's blues roots, as far as you're concerned? What contributions did he make to the blues? BG: Jimi Hendrix was the Coltrane of modern music. And at one point in time he was similar to me. Nobody wanted to listen to it when you turn that amplifier up. The Chess people didn't, either. I found out later that this guy who produced my first record with Silver Tom came to New York and took Jimi to London because they accepted it there. And that's how he exploded. I think he played for Little Richard, and he hung around New York, and everywhere he would play, it was like when I was here: "Who's that?" But when he went to England - you know, the British people exploded blues more than Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and everybody else, because they accepted it as they were playing it and released it. Then it came back here, and the Chess people were saying, "Kick me, Buddy, because you've been trying to tell me this all the time, and I wouldn't listen." When Jimi left and went to England, I heard a quote that he was just wild. I was wild, but I wouldn't use the effects and things like he was, because I figured if you couldn't get it out of your wrists or your fingers, I didn't want nothing else helping me. Which was a big mistake.   National Funk League✮✮ | |
