Jimi Hendrix – South Saturn Delta
Experience Hendrix & Legacy
www.jimihendrix.com

Rating: B

This album was first released in the 1990’s as a collection of rarities from Jimi Hendrix. The album, now owned by his family’s company, Experience Hendrix, has been re-released under their label. The fifteen tracks are very unique and great stuff for Hendrix fan’s that want to see what Jimi left behind, sometimes unfinished, for the world to discover.

Look Over Yonder
This song comes from the original Experience lineup and was an outtake from 1968.

Little Wing
This is an early demo from Hendrix. Musically, it sounds like “Angel” and not “Little Wing.”

Here He Comes (Love Man)

This is a live song that Jimi often played but was never put on a live album. You get to hear Jimi talking at the beginning in the studio.

South Saturn Delta

This is the title track and features a lot of horns and is very jazzy.

Power of Soul

This is a studio track that was recorded by the Band of Gypsies.

Message to the Universe (Message to Love)
This song was performed by Jimi’s Woodstock band called Gypsy Sun and Rainbows. It was originally a studio track by the Band of Gypsies.

Tax Free
This song was not written by Hendrix but was played live occasionally. The song was written by the duo Hannson and Carlsson.

All Along the Watchtower

This is the same Dylan penned track that appears on Electric Ladyland. The only difference is very slight. It is a version mixed by Chas Chandler.

The Stars that Play with Laughing Sam’s Dice
This was the B side to “Burning of the Midnight Lamp and was put on a compilation album in 1974 in Europe and Japan titled Loose Ends.

Midnight

This was recorded as an instrumental during the Electric Ladyland Sessions.

Sweet Angel
This is an early demo version of the classic song written by Jimi.

Bleeding Heart
Basically this is simply a blues jam that has been previously released on an album titled War Heroes.

Pali Gap

This is an instrumental song. Not sure when it was recorded…

Drifter’s Escape

Jimi remade another Bob Dylan song with this one. It appeared on Loose Ends originally.

Midnight Lightning

You can actually hear Jimi tapping his foot on this early demo recorded by Hendirx.
