...both studio versions of songs which were featured on Band of Gypsys in live form. Both exhibit the funky tendencies of the rhythm section Hendrix assembled after the breakup of the original Experience band. With its overdubs and delay effects, this "Power of Soul" is distinct from the rawer Band of Gypsys version, but "Message to the Universe" has little to offer over its brilliant live counterpart...

But on every song, Rucker's vocals are marvelously commanding. Low, rough and charismatic, his voice can convey depths of feeling that would do a true bluesman proud...
