In Reply to: "Hendrix clones" posted by Dave Derrick on March 13, 1999 at 05:31:02:
Although he passed away in a freak surfing accident (while saving his son from drowning) a couple of years ago, Randy will long be remembered as one of the founding members of Spirit as well as its driving force. His style, while uniquely his own, included Hendrix material which he could play with an uncanny closeness to his mentors. Although not a "clone", Randy brought a passion to his music that felt more like what Hendrix achieved than most other Hendrix influenced guitarists. This is understandable when you consider that he performed with Hendrix when he was 16 in New York City (1966) just before Hendrix was "discovered" and flew to London with Chas Chandler. Jimi even gave Randy the name "California" since there were two Randys in Hendrix's pre-Experience band (I think it was Jimmy James and the Blue Flames).Check out the CD of Spirit Live at La Paloma for a killer version of "Hey Joe". He also performed "All Along the Watchtower" et al., in true Hendrix fashion on a History of Spirit video in case you're interested.
Good listening!
