Foxy Lady
"Foxy Lady" (or alternatively "Foxey Lady") is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It first appeared on their 1967 debut album '' Are You Experienced'' and was later issued as their third single in the U.S. with the alternate spelling. It is one of Hendrix's best-known songs and was frequently performed in concerts throughout his career. ''Rolling Stone'' magazine placed the song at number 153 on its list of the " 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". Composition and lyrics Music critic Thomas Ward points out "if one song could be said to encapsulate Hendrix’s entire oeuvre, 'Foxey Lady' is certainly closer than most". The song opens with a fingered note "shaken in a wide exaggerated vibrato" so the adjacent strings are sounded. After the amplifier is allowed to feed back, Hendrix slides down to the rhythm figure, which uses a dominant seventh sharp ninth chord, a jazz and rhythm and blues-style chord, often referred to as the " Hendrix chord". Hendrix's biographer Keith Shad ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Let Me Roll It
"Let Me Roll It" is a song by the British–American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings, released on their 1973 album '' Band on the Run''. The song was also released as the B-side to " Jet" in early 1974, and has remained a staple of McCartney's live concerts since it was first released. Origin The song's title was inspired by a quote from George Harrison's "I'd Have You Anytime", the opening track from his critically acclaimed ''All Things Must Pass''. According to ''Ultimate Classic Rock'' contributor Nick DeRiso, John Lennon incorporated the riff from "Let Me Roll It" into his 1974 song " Beef Jerky". DeRiso rated it as Wings' 7th greatest song. Alternatively, ''Rolling Stone''s critic Jon Landau, saw the song as a pastiche of John Lennon's sound, particularly the riff and the use of tape echo on the vocals. McCartney, however, didn't intend the song to be a pastiche of Lennon. He did say the vocal "does sound like John. ... I hadn't realised I'd sung it like John." McCartney ...
