Voice(s) of Dissent

Karel Barnoski submits his Voice of Dissent for our Hendrix episode.

And Jeff Symonds of the podcast 50 Years of Music w/ 50 Year Old White Guys weighed in via Insta: “I would have gone with Drivin' South from the Radio One / BBC compilation-- his greatest instrumental, EVEN better than Third Stone. :) Explains for people why he 's such an amazing player in so many styles.”
