"Who Knows" - Jimi Hendrix, The Band of Gypsys

I have several songs I still remember hearing this for the first time, Zeppelin's Kashmir + Fool in the Rain, Robin Trower's Bridge of Sighs, and this track, one of Hendrix's first outings with his new backing band after the Experience, live at the Fillmore East (1970). It's the first cut of the self-named live album, if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up:



Do you remember where you were when you first heard a song that blew your mind? In the back of your VW van? Friend's dorm room? Sneaking copies of your older brother's record collection that he would still beat you if he found out?

Our Philosophy:

The music press, both mainstream and independent, focus the bulk of their attention on "new music" -- the latest albums and hot new artists. But what if "new music" meant something else? What if it referred to music that, regardless of when it was originally released -- this week or 50 years ago -- was just now being discovered by an individual, or perhaps by a generation? Any music could be "new." This Web publication charts our travels along the road of discovery as we become aware and gain a greater appreciation of some of the best music ever recorded from genres including rock 'n' roll, jazz, folk, soul, funk and, perhaps most importantly of all, the blues.
