It's one of Hendricks classics."Purple Haze" is a song written by Jimi Hendrix and released as the second record single by the Jimi Hendrix Experience on March 17, 1967. Stefanie from Rock Hill, ScThere is a dcever by Rod Stuart, but this version I think is the best.Johnny from Los Angeles, CaJust listened to Rod Stewart's version. Verse 3 The same way you shoot me down, baby You'll be going just the same Three times the pain And your own self to blame Hey, machine gun Solo Verse 4 I ain't afraid of your mess no more.Hendrix here, can write and record a song about their mother or father(Prince's Purple Rain), then that can touch an audience in a great way. In my opinion, if a high-profile musician, such as Mr. Steven from West Carrollton, OhSorry, Johnny of L.A.- but Jimi's is the best.His mother died when he and his brother were still children and his father refused to take them to her funernal and gave them money to take the bus instead, they were so traumatised they didn't go.

What's sad is the legacy of infighting after Jimi died which left the song catalog in the trust of family he never knew in life, (family his father started once remarried). She was not in a good way to care for him and it split the family apart which happens more than once to Jimi. Detlev from Geneva, IlIn his dream, Jimi talks about the shadow of leaves from a tree crossing her face as she says goodbye to him.Bri from Orange, CaPurple haze also came from a dream that jimi had.Robert from Bolivar, Mojimmy wrote this song after a dream he had where he saw his mother standing in the shade of blowing tree leaves telling him, guess i wont be seeing you anymore.Nothing compares to the master's original, though, of course.

David from Youngstown, OhIt's just an opinion, but Rod Stewart's version, to me, is superior.Aaron from Miami, FlDoes anyone know the story behind the solo version? Where/how was it recorded?.It doesn't have the power of Hendrix on gutar, but the vocals are smokin'!!! Elkie Brooks is on lead vocals, with Robert Palmer singing backup. Kirk from Fayetteville, ArI just heard a really fantastic cover by the band Vinegar Joe, on the album Rock and Roll Gypsies.The song is so beautiful, I really love the solo version as well. Hendrix says the lyrics were inspired by a dream he had where he could walk underwater. Purple Haze was written by Hendrix on December 26th, 1966 while backstage at a club in London. Jonas from Stockholm, SwedenThe guitar sound is very different because Jimi used a special kind of harp-amplifier during the recording. Commonly, people assume Purple Haze is a reference to a major psychedelic trip Jimi underwent after taking drugs, however this isn’t true at all.Richard Fitzsimmons from Kahuluiworld of works from the elites and the deities.Susan92101 from San Diego, California UsaThis beautiful song goes out to all five of my angels.
