Recommendations for new music that sounds like Hendrix?

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
I was hoping you fine Headfiers could offer me some recommendations for new(er) music that has that Hendrix feel. I've listened to Purple Haze, All Along the Watchtower and all his other hits hundreds of times, but I'm ready to branch out to similar music. TIA!

I'm in the same boat, I'd love to hear some more groovy, experimental, psychedelic, but very rock-n-roll stuff.

HEAVY JACK

If Jimi Hendrix and the collective force of Led Zeppelin had a love child and gave it away for free, it would be Heavy Jack. If you like the music but can't stand 128kbps MP3, donate for the disk. I'm planning on doing that soon.

If you want the more experimental stuff, it might not be for you. But the singer takes huge inspiration from him, and the influence is evident right from the first track.

Well, I wouldn't say it sounds quite like Hendrix, but it's a great reworking of Hendrix, unlike anything you're likely to hear (if you can get used to the weird vocals).

I was into Trower for the most part of the 70s. He has tons of music out there. Bridge Of Sighs being one of the best.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtr9QbaZmTk

Have you considered Stevie Ray Vaughn?

He isn't new (IIRC he passed in about 1986) but he can tear it up in a very bluesy and Hendrix-like manner.

The Mars Volta. Frances the Mute, to be specific.

Stevie Ray, Trower, yep.

Here's a more obscure one: James "Blood" Ulmer. Check out his stuff from the early 80's. His new stuff is good too, but more trad blues.

This one from '93 isn't bad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6t3t...eature=related

This one from '83 is more fun:

Check out Vernon Reid too. They play a lot together the last few years.
