South saturn delta is a collection of songs by Jimi hendrix featuring alternate takes of well known songs and several songs that didnt make any of his albums before his untimely death.
the album contains the origins to more wll known songs such as 'angel' and a version of all along the watchtower in which hendrix plays bass after noel redding walked out on the session.
You can hear Hendrix's first real foray into the world of Jazz with 'South saturn Delta' and 'tax free'. also are more typically blues based songs including 'midnight lightning', 'look over yonder' and 'here he comes'.
there is an instrumental of 'pali gap' which featured in ill fated hippy film 'rainbow bridge' along with another excellent instrumental called 'midnight'. there is also a cover of bob dylans 'drifters escape'
As you would expect this album features excellent guitar work throughout. this album gives a good sense of the different styles that he was capable of playing from laid back blues, to psychadelic rock all the way through to contemporary jazz.
i highly recommend this album to hendrix fans. if you are new to hendrix then i suggest you try 'are you experienced' or 'electric ladyland' before you go for this album.
