Post Description
Velvert Turner was apparently a friend of Jimi Hendrix's, and the Hendrix vibe on the album
Velvert Turner Group is almost overpowering, right down to the fish-eye photo on the back
cover. Turner's got great guitar tone and a playing style quite similar to Jimi. The songs are
also similar to later-period Hendrix, circa First Rays of the New Rising Sun, but with some
keyboards added. In fact, "Three O'Clock Train" starts out with a riff very close to "Izabella,"
then sounds more like "51st Anniversary" in the body of the tune. The really shocking thing,
though, is how much Turner's voice sounds like Jimi. It's jarring, right down to the same vocal
inflections. But it doesn't sound like imitation.
