Blues is a posthumous compilation album by musician Jimi Hendrix, released April 26, 1994, on MCA Records. The album contains eleven blues songs recorded by Hendrix between 1966 and 1970. Out of these eleven, six were previously unreleased. The tracks include seven of Hendrixโs compositions along with covers of famous blues songs such as โBorn Under a Bad Signโ and โMannish Boyโ. Most of the albumโs material consists of leftover studio tapes that Hendrix might have never intended to release.
Compiled by MCA and released in 1994, Blues was met with favorable criticism and multiple chart success, selling over 500,000 copies in its first two years of release. On February 6, 2001, Blues was certified platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album was re-released on Experience Hendrix Records in 1998, following the Hendrix familyโs acquisition of the musicianโs recordings.
Music
The opening song โHear My Train A-Cominโโ (aka (by Hendrix) โGetting My Heart Back Together Againโ)) is a Hendrix original that he often played live in concert, particularly in 1969 and 1970. The song was from a long lost master tape of Hendrix alone playing a 12 string acoustic right hand guitar, strung for left hand and singing in a delta blues manner. This live studio performance was filmed for, and included in the film See My Music Talking, and later included in the 1973 documentary Jimi Hendrix and accompanying soundtrack LP. The last song on Blues is a live version of โHear My Train A-Cominโโ recorded on May 30, 1970, at the Berkeley Community Theater that had previously been released on the posthumous Rainbow Bridge album in 1971.
A different version of โHear My Train A-Cominโโ was included on the posthumous 1975 album Midnight Lightning and was considered somewhat controversial since producer Alan Douglas used session musicians to augment Hendrixโ guitar and Mitch Mitchellโs drums (overdubbing the bass guitar in the process). Another studio version from February 1969 was included on The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set in 2000.
โBorn Under a Bad Signโ is an instrumental jam of the Albert King number (performed by Band of Gypsys). โRed Houseโ is the original (mono) take from the European version of Are You Experienced, but minus the outro chat (previously unavailable in USA & Canada). Another take (stereo) from a different session was released on the USA version of the 1969 compilation album Smash Hits. On this version Redding plays electric guitar tuned down to resemble a bass. โCatfish Bluesโ is from a Dutch TV show Hoepla. Hendrix uses the first two verses from Muddy Waters โRollinโ Stoneโ (which is based on older versions usually with โCatfishโ in the title) and the last verse is from Muddyโs โStill a Foolโ itself based on โRoll and Tumble Bluesโ by Hambone Willie etc.
โVoodoo Chile Bluesโ is another creation of Alan Douglas, recorded during the sessions that produced the finished track, โVoodoo Chileโ, for the critically acclaimed Electric Ladyland album. This track is made up of two different takes of the song that were edited and joined together in order to come up with one consistent track. โMannish Boyโ is actually a hybrid of Muddy Watersโs โMannish Boyโ and Bo Diddleyโs โIโm a Manโ, it is a similar edited studio creation that combines several takes. โOnce I Had a Womanโ is a slightly longer edited version of Hendrixโs slow blues song. The band starts to jam during the second half of the long song and then a fade out follows. โBleeding Heartโ is a cover of the Elmore James number, performed here by Band of Gypsys. โJelly 292โณ is actually take 2 of the song โJam 292โณ (the name on the tape box) which appeared on the 1974 European only LP โLoose Endsโ. It is an uptempo jam based on Duke Ellingtonโs โDooji Woojiโ. โElectric Church Red Houseโ is a jam from TTG studios in 1968 featuring a group introduction by Hendrix (lifted from another, different jam at TTG) and Lee Michaels on organ.

Hear My Train A Comin'
Jimi Hendrix Lyrics
Yeah
Well I wait around the train station
Waitin' for that train
Take me, take me, take me away
From this lonesome time, lonesome time
Too bad you don't love me no more, girl
Too bad you people want me down
Tears burnin' me
Tears burnin' me in my eyes
Way down, way down in my soul
Tears burnin' me way down in my heart
Too bad you don't love no more, girl
Too bad you and me have to part, have to part
Hear my train is coming
Hear my train is coming
Hear my train is coming
Hear my train is coming
Well, I hear my train a coming
Hear my train a comin'

Well I hear my train coming
Hear my train coming
[Verse]
Well, I wait around the train station
Waiting for that train
Take me, take me, take me away
From this lonesome town
Lonesome town
Too bad you don't love me any more, girl
Too bad your people put me down
Hey, hey, hey
Tears burning me
Tears burning me in my eyes
Way down, way down in my soul
Burning me way down in my heart
Too bad you don't love me no more, girl
Too bad you and me have to part
Have to part
[Chorus]
Well I hear my train coming
Hear my train coming
Well I hear my train coming
Hear my train coming
