It's on "Jimi Hendrix" "In the Beginning", released 1972 by Shout Records, Atlanta, Georgia. Tracklist: Hey LeRoy, Free Spirit, House of the Rising Sun, Something You Got, Let the God Sing, She's a Fox.
There's also an Australian release with slightly different cover

Couldn't find an album by "Shout Records" called In the Beginning by Jimi Hendrix, so I doubt that information is true (unless someone can scan the album as proof)
The rumor is, is that version is NOT by Hendrix but is by an impostor and was released after Jimi's death.

What does Jimi Hendrix mean by just ask the axis?
People may have their own personal interpretations of the lyrics but I am pretty sure he his referring to the Axis as enemies in war. Historically, WWI Axis v Allies. The 'bold as love' is depicting the spectrum of color/emotion that stands against great odds, "boldly" and the enemy is in respect to the front. I like to assume the significant other could be the enemy not letting one in until their boldness in love shines through. I dont think it is a matter of games in relationships, but actual human nature breaking to another and showing their true colors in a leap of faith, gift of love.
--------------------------------------- just like the earth spins on it's axis, we have a center. it is your inner divinity so, you are spinnin' spinnin' spinnin' with emotions and fear and you don't know what to do or where to turn, breathe deep, the answers are inside you, direct from the light of the universe to your crown chakra down thru you; listen and feeL.
Did Jimi Hendrix record crossroads?
There's rumor of a rare recording of Hendrix combining "Crossroads" with "Red House", but none that I've been able to find. The original "Crossroad Blues" was recorded and released by delta blues king Robert Johnson in 1937, and I think it's possible you're confusing Hendrix with Clapton, as Cream did put out a cover of the song by 1968, which they only performed live.
What is the only song to feature both Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton on guitar?
"Love the One You're With" by Stephen Stills
What is the meaning of Jimi Hendrix's song Little Wing?
But for the true meaning of "Little Wing," it's best to go straight to the horse's mouth. " 'Little Wing' is like one of these beautiful girls that come around sometimes," explained Jimi. "You ride into town for the drinks and parties and so forth. You play your gig; it's the same thing as the olden days. And these beautiful girls come around and really entertain you. You do actually fall in love with them because that's the only love you can have. It's not always the physical thing of 'Oh, there's one over there…' It's not one of those scenes. They actually tell you something. They release different things inside themselves, and then you feel to yourself, 'Damn, there's really a responsibility to some of these girls, you know, because they're the ones that are gonna get screwed.'
" 'Little Wing' was a very sweet girl that came around that gave me her whole life and more if I wanted it. And me with my crazy ass couldn't get it together, so I'm off here and there and off over there."
Who is better Jimi Hendrix or Andres Segovia?
If this question is referring to simple technical ability of the guitar, it is without question Andreas Segovia. However, in terms of music itself, the question really doesn't make much sense.
These two guitarists are of completely different genres of music for several reasons:
Equipment:
- Hendrix played music with an electric guitar, the aid of amplification, and distortion pedals which alter the sound of the instrument.
- Segovia used a classical guitar with nylon strings. He worked diligently with top luthiers of the day to select the best woods and accessories to create a louder, more robust classical guitar that can be heard in concert halls. These choices have practically re-invented the way the modern classical guitar is built today.
Performance:
- Hendrix was known for interesting but unorthodox methods of performing with the guitar on stage. Simulated sex with the instrument and amplifiers, plucking the strings with his teeth, hoisting the guitar over and behind his head to play, even setting his guitar on fire; his ability to captivate an audience was a great display of showmanship.
- Segovia captured the minds and hearts of millions around the world with his technical ability to play multiple tones and timbres with the classical guitar. He often compared the guitar to a complete orchestra, demonstrating the ability to produce various sounds that imitated anything from a brass section to an oboe.
Musicianship:
- Hendrix was a known supporter of newer musicians, as well as the established. He once promoted the (then) new release of The Beatles "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" by performing the title track within days of its release to several crowds; one of which had John Lennon and Paul McCartney in attendance.
- Also a supporter of new musicians, Segovia additionally established a lofty repertoire for future guitarists. He created a new way of practicing scales for the guitar that taught proper positioning as well as exercises for development. His transcriptions for guitar are still used today, and the many composers that wrote pieces specifically for him are a constant source of inspiration for post-modern composers.
Although they both played instruments with six strings on it, a comparison isn't really necessary. As one can see, there is a lot to gain from listening to and learning from both of these fine musicians.
Which song has hit the top 40 in the most versions by different artists?
here is a pretty good possibility: The Banana Boat Song (Day-O) was a Top forty hit by SEVEN different artists in 1957
How much could a bottle of Ss politician 1941 whiskey worth?
In 1987 8 bottles were recovered and sold for a total of £4000 - so at 1987 prices 1 bottle is £500 - but as they are just about to re-make the film Whiskey Galore I guess the value could be double that.
Did Jimi Hendrix play guitar on Janis Joplin's Summertime?
Yes. But only once that is known. On April 7, 1968, the last day of their East Coast tour, Joplin and Big Brother performed with Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, Joni Mitchell, Richie Havens, Paul Butterfield, and Elvin Bishop at the "Wake for Martin Luther King, Jr." concert in New York. Jimi Hendrix did perform with her on stage during that song. There are very few recordings of it, as it was only recorded at the event. There are no studio recordings with them together doing that song.
Who covered Little Wings by Jimi Hendrix?
It's "Little Wing" and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Sting and everyone else under the sun covered it.
