Hit: 4 Stars
If you've read his book, _Are You Experienced_? , then you already know that the late Mr. Redding, in a spectacularly critical faux-pas, over-valued his status and contributions to the Jimi Hendrix Experience. His hubris cost him the greatest gig of his life. He considered himself a "rock legend" in the same league as Mr. Hendrix, possibly because he and Jimi fought creatively, professionally, and over certain women. But apparently he perceived himself to be McCartney to Jimi's Lennon. He found out soon after parting ways with Hendrix in Denver that such was not the case. Hendrix was very supportive of Noel's side endeavors, as evidenced by some of the music on this disc, and by the fact that he allowed Fat Mattress to open for his shows. Noel's bitterness seems out of sync for a guy who showed up to the audition with only "10 bob" in his pocket and had to ask for train fare home -- from the man he called "the 'coon' from America". Of course, he was robbed of his financial due. So was his bandmate, Mitch Mitchell; so was his boss and bandleader, Jimi Hendrix. No one was paid their due.
If this disc wasn't designed to show that Redding didn't have the musical wherewithal to survive beyond Hendrix, you wouldn't know it. Many of his recordings contained on this disc wouldn't have been heard or cared about, but for this release. "Walking Through The Garden"? What?!!!???!!! On most of his own tracks, he sings through a heavy Pultec filter in order to disguise his shortcomings as a vocalist, which is the equivalent of Kanye West singing on an Auto-Tune on Saturday Night Live.
Is there good music on this disc? Absolutely. I loved the instrumental "She's So Fine". Jimi apparently punched in some bass on the finished _Axis: Bold As Love_ track, which I'm sure didn't sit too well with Mr. Redding. "Ain't Nothing Wrong With That" finally gets the Kramer treatment after almost two decades on the boot circuit. Long story short -- any track with Hendrix on it is good, more or less. Any track lacking Hendrix involvement is, well, interesting from an historical perspective, so to speak.
