This Anniversary issue features an extensive look into the blues of Jimi Hendrix.

Ted Drozdowski's main article features conversations with Jimi's producer, Eddie Kramer and his friend Billy Cox. 

Read about what Vernon Reid, Michael Hill, Paul Rishell, Dick Waterman, photographer Baron Wolman, and Otis Taylor, remember about Jimi. 

Chris Thomas King and Jason Ricci explain their relationship with Jimi's music. 

Blues Revue has also complied intimate memories of Jimi and his talent with anecdotes from John Hammond, Lee Oskar, Dion, John Sebastain, Joe Louis Walker, Jeremy Spencer from Fleetwood Mac, Jimmy Thackery, Duke Robillard, Steve Miller, and the late Buddy Miles. 

At the same time, Blues Revue asked Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd to explain what Jimi means to a generation of guitar players who never saw him. 

There's an exciting excerpt from Mary Lou Sullivan's Raisin' Cain, the Authorized Biography of Johnny Winter which details the night Johnny and Jimi jammed at Steve Paul's NYC hangout, the Scene. We've also talked to Tommy Shannon, Johnny's bass player, about the fireworks he saw that night. 

We are also featuring an inside look at the recording of Electric Ladyland through the eyes of Mike Finnigan and Jack Casady, who are both featured on that outstanding record.
