Chaz had this obsession with Hey Joe, you know, which really stemmed from
When he'd first heard Tim Rose sing it
[Eb] America I guess just heard the record
[Gm] And I don't think it was a huge hit in the States by Tim Rose, but Chaz always believed in the song
And then he [G] heard Jimmy play it as a part of his set when he first met Jimmy
And I think the two things were coincidentally fused in his mind Jimmy Hendrix.
Hey Joe
And when Jimmy came back to England
they took him into the studio and amongst the things they tried to do was Hey Joe and
It worked it worked [A] extraordinarily well
But it was not the kind of record that you would normally [Gm] expect to have got into
the top 30 charts of that time which were dominated by things like
Engelbert [C] Humperdinck and
the Walker Brothers
Dave D Dozie Biggie [Gm] Mika pig face And
Chaz I think knew that but he also knew that he created it
He'd already [G] begun to create a buzz about Jimmy by doing a few gigs and all the guitarists guitarists had come to see him in
England I mean Clapton Beck
They'd all turned up at the early gigs that Chaz put on the bag of nails with his chump a few other little
London gigs Jimmy Hendrix when he arrived in London
was greeted by all the the people all the the stars of the blues scene as a kind of a
the authentic voice of American blues and
When he arrived he also had this tremendous stage act which his manager Chaz Chandler had encouraged him to develop
So it was more than just another blues band the Jimmy Hendrix experience.
It was in fact a whole new musical experience
it was a combination of jazz rock blues rhythm and blues and psychedelia all in this little trio this extraordinary group and
I think the effect of that on other musicians like Pete Townshend of the who and the Herrick Clapton
Of course was to feel my god.
This is the this is the true voice of
Contemporary music and I think although they admired him and idolized him.
I think they're also rather alarmed by him
It was competition basically it meant that there was an interest in whatever it was that Jimmy was going to put out as a record
But Chaz still had to give it a helping hand to get it into the charts
And there was considerable considerable speculation on the new musical express at the time that money had passed hands
And I don't think there's any doubt that it did [Eb] but once he got it into the charts, of course
Once he bought it into the top 30
Area that meant that you started to get automatic exposure
on TV radio and other places because [G] the charts dominated and
dictated at that time how much
Exposure and airplay you were going to get so once it started once Chaz had got the ball rolling
it then started to sell of its own volition [Db]
and
That really sort of like took Jimmy off
But the thing that really mattered most I think was the press
buzz that had been created by the gigs and by the people who went to see him how everybody was talking about and
every time there was an interview with
[G] Keith Richards or Clapton or Townsend or Jeff Beck?
Whoever the Jimmy page whoever was around at the time they all
raved about
Jimmy Hendrix, you know, what an [Gm] incredible guitarist he wasn't how they'd never seen technique skill like it on the guitar
When he'd first heard Tim Rose sing it
[Eb] America I guess just heard the record
