Jimi Hendrix introduced himself _______ the world in December 1966, when he turned "Hey Joe", a Los Angeles garage rock standard ______ had been a hit for the Leaves, into a murder ballad with some wild guitar pyrotechnics. _______ quickly followed it up with the self-composed "Purple Haze", a psychedelic stomper showcasing the devil's chords (the flatted fifths of the intro were known ________ medieval times as the diabolus de musica and strictly interdict). As monumental and monolithic as "Purple Haze" ________, 51st Anniversary on the B-side is more nuanced and sassier. The song continues a theme already explored - albeit somewhat gracelessly - in Stone Free, about Hendrix's fear __________ commitment.
