McSeven Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Hendrix's KFloor vs Zeps Lemon Song. Which one is the better of the two? Could you imagine if both bands played each others version. LZ played Kfloor uptempo from the beggining. Or Hendrix played the lemon song Slow and funky. Mc7 Quote
danelectro Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Both are great versions but I really dig Jimi's, especially the one he did at Monterey. It's like someone took Hubert Sumlin's licks and stuffed 'em in a nuclear bomb and dropped it on earth, it's loud electric blooze at it's best. I like the Zep version too but they don't really capture the vibe of that particular song. The closest they get is when Jimmy does the sliding 6ths bit in the solo, that is a pretty cool adaptation of Hubert's original lines. Though both versions are kind of mash up of blues tunes, Zep's nods to Robert Johnson and Hendrix tosses a bunch of stuff in his solo. Quote
