I wasn’t sure Jimi Hendrix’s iconic songs could withstand any more bent-note guitar storms, feedback or art damage; as you probably know, the dude became, oh, a bit of a name for not exactly playing solos that sounded like everyone else. But then I hadn’t before heard them through the prism of Richard Lloyd, who has quite the back story with Hendrix & this year released an intriguing...

Richard Lloyd - The Jamie Neverts Story ( Parasol ) [ audio ] [ upcoming shows ] Television and Jimi Hendrix are not normally connected, considering Hendrix died a few years before Television existed, but, as the liner notes detail, Hendrix and Lloyd had a brief but complex relationship.
