Searching For Jimi Hendrix - Compilation CD


Taylor and many other artists on this album were approached to record a cover of a Jimi Hendrix song and not to simply sing it like Jimi would but to go away and sing the song their own way and using their style. Taylor chose this song and it is a great song. This would be the most different song Taylor has recorded it is has a pop edge to it. There is also a documentry filmed of the artists recording this song which features Taylor, I have not seen it but it is available, a hard to find item.

The only other track on the album is by Sinoa the rest on the album is instrumental songs and snippets from the movie. Also a single for Taylor in 1994.
