Bleeding Heart (album)

Bleeding Heart is a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrix released officially in 1994 by Castle Communications.^[1] The album documents Hendrix's jam session at The Scene club, 301 West 46th Street, New York City in March 1968, with guest vocals from Jim Morrison (that consist almost entirely of drunkenly shouted obscenities). Other musicians on the recordings are unknown, though it is possible that the bassist is Randy Hobbs and the drummer is Randy Zehringer, members of The Scene's house band at the time. It has been rumored that Noel Redding and Johnny Winter also appear. In the case of Redding, this is definitely untrue. Winter himself has denied that he took part in the jam, saying he never met Jim Morrison, although at times during the recording a second lead guitar (at a lower volume than Hendrix's) can be heard playing in an electric blues style.

Bleeding Heart was released at various times in the past under various names including High, Live 'n Dirty (1978),^[2] Woke Up This Morning and Found Myself Dead (1980, with covertext by Tony Brown, who claimed this was the 'first genuine release' of these recordings 'thanks to Peter Shertser', published by Surprise Records in Brussels (Belgium). Tracking list is unaltered, but for the 'Woke up one morning (...) title: this now reads 'Wake up this morning and you find yourself dead'.)', Sunshine of Your Love, Sky High, Live at the Scene Club, Red House, New York Sessions and Tomorrow Never Knows, though all were unofficial releases.
