The cover of Hendrix’s classic ‘Are You Experienced’ is the second track to be released from the forthcoming ZED HEAD album ‘Shiny Things’. When talking about the track, the band said ‘Jimi Hendrix is a massive influence on ZED HEAD. We were sitting around jamming one day and started playing “Are You Experienced” for fun. And it struck us, how cool it would be to put a groove into the song which isn’t on Jimi’s original version. The rest is history as they say.
The song was recorded in 2018 at ZED HEAD Studios, Ontario, Canada, with Jimi in our hearts and minds as an homage from ZED HEAD to the incredible Jimi Hendrix.
The Zed Head ‘players’ on this track are
The Fogman – Bass
Steve Heathcote, Bruce Morrison – Drums
Neil Chapman – Guitars
ZED HEAD, Canada’s premiere Southern Rock Band, are the soulful, rockin’ funkin’ guitar and vocal’s of Neil (Big E) Chapman and John “FOGMAN” Burkitt on his ripping EB3 bass and vocals.
