The Wind Cries Maryby The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Jimi wrote this in 1967 for "Are You Experienced?"; it was inspired by his girlfriend at the time, Kathy Mary Etchingham. He'd gotten into an argument with her about her cooking. She got very angry and started throwing pots and pans and finally stormed out to stay at a friend's home for a day or so. When she came back, Jimi had written "The Wind Cries Mary" for her. Kathy Mary recalled, "We'd had a row over food. Jimi didn't like lumpy mashed potato. There were thrown plates and I ran off. When I came back the next day, he'd written that song about me. It's incredibly flattering." ---- Watch Jimi Hendrix performing this one live in Stockholm, Sweden in 1967 here: www.youtube.com
