"In May 1966, Jimi Hendrix was discovered playing the blues in New York clubs by the then girlfriend of Keith Richard, Linda Keith. Excitedly she brought down music-business friends Andrew Loog Oldham and Seymour Stein, who passed on signing the act. Then she brought along Chas Chandler, who was about to leave The Animals.

The rest is history.

By 1965, Jimi had completed stints as guitar-for-hire with the Isley Brothers, Little Richard and others. His next was with Curtis Knight, and when Curtis played live, he gave over part of the set to his prodigious new guitarist. In between Curtis numbers and 60's pop covers, showman Jimi would come forward and perform his blues.

Jimi and Curtis signed a recording contract with Ed Chalpin, who made these live recordings.

Recently re-mastered from the original ¼" tapes, recorded live on a snowy Boxing Day '65 in Georges Club 20, Hackensack, New Jersey, all the songs showcasing Jimi's guitar and vocals have now been put together on one album, Drivin' South. What can be heard is Jimi's unique fluid style applied to the blues he loved and built his music on- by now a fully accomplished blues musician, he had to be persuaded by Chandler to branch out into the rock and pop arena.

Pretty much the real, raw Hendrix, this is the nearest documentto what so impressed Chandler and Linda Keith a few months later, including songs he continued to perform throughout his short career like Killing Floor, Bleeding Heart and I'm A Man, and his own composition Drivin' South.

Together with many tracks not heard performed by Jimi elsewhere, this album gives an essential and intriguing insight into the early years of one of the most significant artists of the last century.
