Cork Tuning : Noel Redding
Noel Redding, the bass player
with The Jimi Hendrix Experience, died in May of this year.
During the group's three year existence it recorded some of
the most innovative rock music of the late Sixties and Redding
played a key role in the group's success, contributing with
Hendrix in writing and arranging songs. 'West Coast Tuning' is
a collection of highlights from three live appearances which
Noel Redding made in 1998 and 1999 in San Francisco and Los
Angeles. On these dates he was accompanied by California-based
3.05 AM, a rocking seven-piece band whose members were fans of
the original Experience and jumped at the opportunity to play
with the legendary bassist. The set includes storming versions
of four Jimi Hendrix Experience classics, 'Stone Free', 'Hey
Joe', 'Come On Pt. 1' and 'Can You See Me'. On other tracks
Redding revisits his rock 'n' roll and r&b roots with such
classics as 'Lawdy Miss Clawdy' and 'Not Fade Away' as well
playing three of his favourites from the Sixties, 'Rain', 'She
Belongs To Me' and 'Sorrow'.
