Liner notes for Red Lightnin release Jimi Hendrix - Woke up this morning and found myself dead

Jimi Hendrix recordings, before his family gained rights to his catalogue, were treated like Italian horror movies in the 80's video boom. The same songs and recordings were constantly repackaged using different names and designs. Avid Hendrix fans would find themselves picking up records, CD's, and tapes hoping they stumbled upon a recording they never heard only to be inevitably disappointed - the fucking song you thought you've never heard wound up being a song you had ten copies of. Just like the films of Fulci, Argento, Lenzi, etc.,there was a entire market for cheaply transferred, re-titled songs.

If you're a big time Hendrix fan you probably posses most of the recordings from Red Lightnin's Woke up this morning and found myself dead - Red House, Wake up this morning, Bleeding Heart, and Sunshine of Your Love are available from numerous sources so when I picked up this CD I wasn't expecting anything new. Alas! Red Lightnin's release features an incredibly drunk, filthy mouthed Jim Morrison! Edited out of my other collections this is truly a bizarre little nugget.

Hendrix is tearing shit up on Bleeding Heart when Morrison grabs the microphone and begins rambling "all night long. I've got a lovely woman... sing my song.." This is followed by a low moan "bbbwwwwaaaaaa." Soon Morrison breaks into a bizarre tirade ... "suck my ass baby ... fuck me all night long!"

Hendrix then begins tearing through "Morrison's Lament," with Jim singing to an angry sounding crowd. "Fuck her in the ass! fuck her in the favorite!" When Morrison begins drifting away from the mic Hendrix politely, and with a laugh, explains to Jim - "sing in that on right there. That's the recording mic." Morrison follows his directions and belts out - "Fuck her in the asshole ... fuck my little woman ... in her little pussy ... little suck ass ... cunt ... little asshole ... fuck you in the ass, my little suck ass cunt."
