He woke the world up when he played the national anthem for a Woodstock sunrise. He blew away our minds at the Monterey Jazz Festival. He made us weep when he died a senseless death—a genius lost too young. But the legend and the music of Jimi Hendrix live on in a new, completely instrumental, bluegrass/country tribute to this guitar master.

Relive the Hendrix experience with this red-hot salute to the man who remade the electric guitar. The songs really sizzle as these masters of bluegrass display their skill and powerful playing on 5-string banjo, acoustic and steel guitars, fiddle, mandolin, and more. Their blazing breakdown version of “THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER” exceeds all expectations as the entire album lives up to the challenge of Hendrix’s music.

Pickin' On Hendrix lifts the haze of the 60s, wipes away the fog surrounding this musician’s life, and reveals his gifts in a way that you won’t soon forget.
