Notes:

In May 1966, Jimi Hendrix was discovered playing the blues in
New York clubs by the then girlfriend of Keith Richard, Linda Keith.
Excitedly she brought down music-business friends Andrew Loog Oldham
and Seymour Stein, who passed on signing the act. Then she brought
along Chas Chandler, who was about to leave The Animals. The rest is
history.

By 1965, Jimi had completed stints as guitar-for-hire with the
Isley Brothers, Little Richard and others. His next was with Curtis
Knight, and when Curtis played live, he gave over part of the set to
his prodigious new guitarist. In between Curtis numbers and 60's pop
covers, showman Jimi would come forward and perform his blues. Jimi and
Curtis signed a recording contract with Ed Chalpin, who made these live
recordings.

Recently re-mastered from the original º" tapes, recorded live
on a snowy Boxing Day '65 in Georges Club 20, Hackensack, New Jersey,
all the songs showcasing Jimi's guitar and vocals have now been put
together on one album, Drivin' South. What can be heard is Jimi's
unique fluid style applied to the blues he loved and built his music on
- by now a fully accomplished blues musician, he had to be persuaded
by Chandler to branch out into the rock and pop arena.

Pretty much the real, raw Hendrix, this is the nearest document
to what so impressed Chandler and Linda Keith a few months later,
including songs he continued to perform throughout his short career
like Killing Floor, Bleeding Heart and I'm A Man, and his own
composition Drivin' South. Together with many tracks not heard
performed by Jimi elsewhere, this album gives an essential and
intriguing insight into the early years of one of the most significant
artists of the last century.

(Curtis Knight Live material 1965-66)
notes:
- The Curtis Knight & The Squires live recordings featuring Jimi Hendrix are most likely from several different concerts and rehearsals dec.1965-may 1966, and it's impossible to pinpoint which tracks were recorded where and when.
