This week on One Song, Diallo and LUXXURY kick off a two-part deep dive into Jimi Hendrix’s legacy, starting with the track that put him on the map—“Purple Haze” by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. They unpack the countercultural movement of 1967 that launched Hendrix into stardom and explore how he fused blues and psychedelic rock into something entirely his own. Plus, LUXXURY reveals the one thing every guitarist gets wrong about the song.
