The Jimi Hendrix Experience, 'Purple Haze'
Writer:Hendrix
Producer: Chas Chandler
Released:March '67, Reprise
8 weeks; No. 65
It is one of the unforgettable opening riffs in rock: a ferocious, stomping guitar march, scarred with fuzz
and built around the dissonant "devil's interval" of the tritone. And it launched not one but two
revolutions: late-Sixties psychedelia and the unprecedented genius ofJimi Hendrix. For the first time,
Hendrix, bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell got to show off their acrobatic onstage
chemistry on record and they somehow managed to condense it to an under-three-minute blaze of
overdubbed guitar sorcery. (The first chord of its main riff has come to be known among guitarists as the
"Hendrix chord.") The song, which Hendrix wrote on December 26th, 1966, in the dressing room of aLondon club, also served as a showcase for his brilliant, often contradictory lyrical gifts (boiled down
from a much longer initial draft called "Purple Haze Jesus Saves"). He spiked the surging rhythmic
confidence of the Experience with intimate pictorial tension: "Actin' funny, but I don't know why/'Scuse
me while I kiss the sky." (Hendrix later said that he had written the lyrics after he'd had a dream in which
he could walk underwater.) The Experience recorded "Purple Haze" across a series of sessions in January
and February, 1967, experimenting with recording techniques such as the blitzed-out distortion on
Hendrix's guitar when the master tape was sent to their American record label, an enclosed note
diligently pointed out that the distorted sound of the song was deliberate. In the closing solo, Hendrix
echoed his screaming Strat with an additional shrieking guitar put through a new harmonic-manipulation
device called an Octavia and played back at double speed. "Purple Haze" the opening track on the U.S.
version of his debut LP,Are You Experienced? captured the liberating rush of Day-Glo culture just in
time for the Summer of Love.
