Rock Roulette Podcast
Episode 212 - Jimi Hendrix - Band Of Gypsys - Part 1
EPISODE 212 is Here! Four years. FOUR. YEARS. Rock Roulette hits the 4th Anniversary with a legendary pick: Jimi Hendrix – Band of Gypsys! The wheel has spun us through 212 episodes, questionable decisions, unexpected classics, and enough rock & roll insanity to require professional supervision. And what better way to celebrate than with Hendrix absolutely setting the damn guitar on fire? We’re cranking up Band of Gypsys, looking back at four years of Rock Roulette chaos, and celebrating the fact that somehow… we’re still allowed to have a microphone.
