Δεν ξέρω αν πρέπει να ευχαριστούμε τον Jimi Hendrix γι’ αυτό και τα υπόλοιπα τραγούδια του Joy Of A Toy (πρώτου άλμπουμ του Kevin Ayers μετά την αποχώρηση απ’ τους Soft Machine). Κάτι μου λέει ότι θα προέκυπταν ούτως ή άλλως. Σε οποιαδήποτε περίπτωση ήταν ο Jimi εκείνος που “έπεισε” τον Kevin να συνεχίσει τη μουσική καριέρα που ο ίδιος έδειχνε αποφασισμένος να εγκαταλείψει. Εμείς ακούμε το κλασικό τoυ, ‘The Lady Rachel (single version)’. Κάποια ελαφρώς περιττά …ενορχηστρωτικά κιλά δεν καταφέρνουν να μειώσουν τη μαγεία.

I don’t know if we should thank Jimi Hendrix for this and the rest of the songs on Joy of a Toy (Kevin Ayers’ first album after leaving Soft Machine). Something tells me they would have emerged anyway. In any case, it was Jimi who “convinced” Kevin to continue the music career he seemed determined to abandon. We’re listening to his classic ‘Lady Rachel (single version)‘. Some slightly superfluous …orchestral pounds fail to diminish the magic.

Enjoy!

As always, I’m happy to hear your thoughts, however I’d highly recommend a direct dialogue with the …’source’ [why comments are closed here], so please visit Oannes’ page where you can also listen to the music!
