Janie Hendrix interview, including mention of Prince Hi, folks -
Great interview with Janine Hendrix, President/CEO of Experience Hendrix, about the upcoming Jimi Hendrix re-masters. She mentions that at once point Prince was interested in recording a Jimi covers CDs. Not much more info than that, but if you're a fan of Jimi's music this article is a great read. http://www.celebrityacces...tml?id=495 [Edited 2/5/10 20:28pm] | |

According to a bio I read, Electric Gypsy, Jimi has at least two children; a girl named Tamika, conceived just before he became famous, and a boy, whose name I can't recall, who was born in Sweden in the late 60's. To my understanding, he was aware of them both but wasn't involved in their lives. [Edited 2/5/10 15:20pm] | |

Have there been many covers? It’s hard to beat a Jimi Hendrix performance.
Yeah, but John Mayer does Jimi. Sheryl Crow has recorded Jimi. Paul McCartney and, obviously Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton have recorded his songs. There’s been Robert Randolph (and the Family Band). There was a tribute album (“Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix” in 1993). Prince wanted to do a full album on Jimi. I remember this being mentioned a few years ago. Nice to see it confirmed. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Bummer it (or whatever they had planned) didn't happen cause all the fires The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Well there is "Crimson and Clover" mixed with "Wild Thing" on Lotus...
Come to think of it, nearly every guitar lick on that disc sounds like a cover of Jimi to me.   She has robes and she has monkeys, lazy diamond studded flunkies.... | |

True neither are original Hendrix tracks, but if I remember correct, Jimi did an amazing performance of Wild Thing at the Monterrey Pop Festival.
And Prince's play on Crimson and Clover is dead on that performance. She has robes and she has monkeys, lazy diamond studded flunkies.... | |

Prince has played 'Villanova Junction' at a few aftershows(Last aftershow of the O2 run for example) - which Hendrix did at Woodstock - it's probably the best known version of the Hendrix tune, as it wasn't on any of the albums released in his lifetime - i'd say it's a safe bet Prince has seen a recording of the Hendrix Woodstock performance! | |

So it maybe possible that Prince has recorded this CD and its just lying in The Vault...
What a damn shame  | |

If anyone was to do a cover I'd say Prince or Lenny Kravitz should be who would do it. Bootsy Collins, Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Page, or Stanley Jordon with Stanley Clarke on bass,  | |

The Troggs covered it in 1966. But I think you missed my point. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

What a damn shame If it exists or if there's plans for it, I'd love to hear it. Prince's performance of "Spanish Castle Magic" at Montreux back in July is my favorite Jimi cover he's done so far. | |
