Randy California - Kapt. Kopter And The (Fabulous) Twirly Birds - 1972 (,flac)

First, the Jimi thing. Randy California may have influenced him, rather than vice versa. In _Jimi Hendrix Electric Gypsy_, we read about how a young California runaway played in a band with Hendrix for a little while. His name was Randy Wolfe. Since there were two Randy's in the band, Jimi called them Randy Texas and Randy California. The latter went on to form Spirit with Ed Cassidy. Shortly after Jimi's death, Randy C. turned solo, letting his guitar playing burn more than it had in the jazzier Spirit. His first solo album, "Kaptain Kopter and the Fabulous Twirly Birds", is as devout a testament to Hendrix's music as has ever been waxed.
