villanova junction is a collection of hendrix rarities that was issued on a limited release, so although this isnt a completely rare cd to own, it isnt as easily available as other hendrix albums.
there are seven songs which are: 3 little bears, an upbeat song with silly lyrics, you can hear Jimi saying how silly he thinks the song is so he od=rders the band to eamlessly transform the song into 'south saturn delta', which is Hendrixdebut into serious jazz.
belly button window. an alternate version of the song from 'first rays of the new rising sun' in which hendrix messes up the lyrics at the end.
country blues. a comprehensive blues instrumental in which he goes througha huge range of licks from relatively straight blues to his trademark feedback and flair.
hear my train a comin. an excellent up tempo version of one of hendrixs trademark blues songs. really excellent.
new rising sun. the most experiemental song on here, hendrix uses loads of effects and reverb to give his guitar a sound inlike anything you have heard. laid back in a weird way.
the things i used to do. a rare example of hendrix using a slide in this great blues standard that demonstrates the unique hendrix tone.
villanova junction blues jam. a 30 minute jam recorded around the time of the woodstock festival. changing styles, tempo and key fequently this is a great insight into the hendrix just playing for fun.
overall this is an excellent quality album with some great rare tracks. it maybe isnt as instantly accessible as his studio album but for hendrix fans this is a real treat.
