"Red House" - Jimi Hendrix

 I suppose being able to play the blues well is pretty much a requirement for being a guitar hero. And I mean a real guitar hero, not the plastic button kind. This Hendrix chap, yeah, I guess he was half-way decent at it. Watch a fanvid for "Red House" on YouTube. Make haste, yonder YouTube traveler - the Hendrix estate can be downright Warnerian in its enforcement of IP rights. This is part of a week-long series on "red" songs.
I guess "amaranth" doesn't have quite the same zing...

We'll all be seeing red this week. There seems to be a crapton of songs containing "red", so we'll see some of them here. Blue, green and yellow don't seem to be represented nearly as much in Songtitledom. Why? Who knows. Perhaps it's because of all the songs having to do with blood, prostitution and communism. Another discussion topic for my highly intellectual, well-reasoned, non-existent audience.
Don't worry, I won't use some lame red-related gimmick in my posts. I am so above that. |
Introduction
Some of my online cohorts at the Songfight community decided to create blogs to highlight songs they like. I am now doing it as well, because I am a total lemming.
Songfight is a weekly songwriting competition based on titles provided by the site's administrators. I post there under the handle "Albatross." Go check it out. It's a gas. My Own Noise
Can't sing my way out of a wet paper bag, but I play a few instruments with varying degrees of proficiency. As such, sometimes I record my own music. You can hear it here.
