Jimi Hendrix Covers

I've seen lots of tribute albums to Jimi Hendrix. I don't think I have ever seen an album of songs that he covered. Here are the originals of the songs Jimi covered. This pick includes the first original version of the song, or the one that was most popular or well known. For instance The Troggs weren't the first to do Wild Thing, but the band (Wild Ones) that did do that song first is barely known and it's very difficult to get a copy of it. I don't have it. Notice a few Beatles tracks and a couple of Dylan tracks. Not unusual for that time. Enjoy this selection. I may do a compilation playlist of covers of Jimi Hendrix (other people who covered Jimi) some time. I have plenty, I'm just deciding which ones to include. And I probably could do a Hendrix Family pick, but I haven't gotten far with that one yet.
