#3 Phil Brown is an excellent guitarist from USA whose recorded output and live performances have gained him big reputation among music fans, fellow musicians and music critics alike. One of his recent releases is a collection of Jimi Hendrix songs done in his own inimitable way, one of the best versions of Hendrix songs I’ve heard and I heard a lot of them! Phil Brown has obviously thoroughly studied Hendrix’s output often reading between the lines to grab some hidden nuances transforming these elements in higly personal statement of legendary guitarist, something few dared and missed! Phil does it with his personal stamp, passion of a pioneer and we get rewarded with beautiful and original renditions of material we all know and love and appreciate with a couple of lesser known gems brought to us by great Phil’s musicianship. He has a tone that most others dream about and they play the same guitars?!), but it’s the fingers and feeling that do the thing! Using different patterns and rhythms Phil has managed to create fine interaction of a dedicated artist and spirit of a legend producing one of the best Hendrix tributes anytime, anywhere! All tracks deserve and need to be heard, but my personal favorites at the moment are: Manic Depression, Voodoo Chile, If 6 Was 9, Spanish Castle Magic and Ain’t No Telling.
