Sobre el álbum

"First Rays of the New Rising Sun" es el álbum póstumo que intenta reconstruir el que habría sido el cuarto disco de estudio del artista, y es una obra esencial en la discografía de Jimi Hendrix. Lanzado en 1997 y compilado por su familia y su ingeniero de sonido, este trabajo reúne las grabaciones en las que Hendrix estaba trabajando antes de su muerte, mostrando la dirección musical que estaba explorando.

El álbum es una fascinante mezcla de estilos. Jimi Hendrix se adentra aún más en el funk, el R&B y el soul, con canciones que son a la vez complejas y llenas de groove. Se percibe a un artista que busca un sonido más orgánico y centrado en la canción, con la participación de músicos como Billy Cox y Mitch Mitchell.

El disco contiene algunas de las últimas grandes composiciones de Hendrix. Temas como "Angel", "Dolly Dagger" o "Freedom" son joyas que demuestran que su genio creativo seguía en plena ebullición. El álbum es un testimonio conmovedor de lo que podría haber sido y de la increíble música que el mundo perdió.

"First Rays of the New Rising Sun" es la aproximación más fiel al álbum que Jimi Hendrix nunca pudo terminar. Es una colección de canciones de una calidad extraordinaria que no solo sirve como un epitafio, sino que también se sostiene como una de las obras más importantes de su carrera. Su escucha es imprescindible.

  11. My Friend4:36

    Letra

    Hey, look out for my glass up there, man! That's my drink, man, that's my drink, alright... Make it a double, or eh... Somebody has to sing Some body will sing? Somebody will sing, right? (I don't know!) Y'all pass me that bottle, And I'll sing you all a real song Yeah! Let me get my key, ahum! Well, I'm looking through Harlem My stomach squeal just a little more A stagecoach full of feathers and footprints, Pulls up to soap box door Now a lady with a pearl handled necktie Tied to the driver's fence Breathes in my face, Bourbon and coke possessed words & "Haven't I seen you somewhere in hell, Or was it just an accident? " (You know how I felt then, and so:) Before I could ask "was it the East or West side?" My feet they howled in pain The wheels of a bandwagon cut very deep, But not as deep in my mind as the rain And as they pulled away I could see her words Stagger and fall on my muddy tent Well I picked them up, brushed them off, To see what they say, And you wouldn't believe: 'Come around to my room, with the tooth in the middle, And bring along the bottle and a president' And eh sometimes it's not so easy, baby Especially when your only friend, Talks, sees, looks and feels like you, And you do just the same as him (Gets very lonely up this road, baby) (Yeah, hmmm, yeah) (Got more to say!) Well I'm riding through la (huh), On a bicycle built for fools And I seen one of my old buddies And he say, "you don't look the way you usually do" I say, "well, some people look like a coin-box" He say, "look like you ain't got no coins to spare" And I laid back and I thought to myself, and I said this: I just picked up my pride from underneath the pay phone, And combed this breath right out of my hair And sometimes it's not so easy Especially when your only friend Talk, sees, looks and feels like you, And you do just the same as him Just got out of a Scandinavian jail, And I'm on my way straight home to you But I feel so dizzy I take a quick look in the mirror, To make sure my friend's here with me too And you know good well I don't drink coffee, So you fill my cup full of sand And the frozen tea leaves on the bottom Sharing lipstick around the broken edge And my coat that you let your dog lay by the fire on And your cat he attacked me from his pill-box ledge And I thought you were my friend too Man, my shadow comes in line before you I'm finding out that it's eh not so easy Specially when your only friend Talks, looks, sees and feels like you, And you do the same just like him (Lord it's so lonely here, hmmm, yeah) Yeah! (Pass me that bottle over there...) Yeah, yeah, okay...

  17. Belly Button Window3:36

    Letra

    Well. I'm up here in this womb I'm looking all around Well, I'm looking out my belly button window And I see a whole lot of frowns And I'm wondering if they don't want me around What seems to be the fuzz out there? Just what seems to be the hang? 'Cause you know if ya just don't want me this time around, Yeah I'll be glad to go back to Spirit Land And even take a longer rest, Before I'm coming down the chute again Man, I sure remember the last time, baby They were still hawkin' about me then So if you don't want me now, Make up your mind, where or when If you don't want me now, Give or take, you only got two hundred days 'Cause I ain't coming down this way too much more again You know they got pills for ills and thrills and even spills But I think you're just a little too late So I'm coming down into this world, daddy Regardless of love and hate And I'm gonna sit up in your bed, mama And just a grin right in your face And then I'm gonna eat up all your chocolates, And say "I hope I'm not too late" So if there's any questions, Make up your mind 'Cause you better give or take Questions in your mind Give it a take, You only got two hundred days Way up into this womb Looking all around Sure's dark in here And I'm looking out my belly button window And I swear I see nothing but a lot of frowns And I'm wondering if they want me around.
