"RODNEY CROWELL, VINCE GILL, BARBARA MANDRELL, songwriter Bob DiPiero and the late JIMI HENDRIX and BUDDY KILLEN are in the latest round of inductees into the Music City Walk Of Fame.

They will be recognized when commemorative sidewalk markers are unveiled in the Hall Of Fame Park in downtown Nashville on November 5th.

Hendrix moved to Nashville in 1962 after being discharged from the Army at nearby Fort Campbell, Ky. He performed in Nashville at clubs on Jefferson Street and in Printer's Alley before moving to New York.

Killen was a noted music publisher and record producer.

The Music City Walk of Fame was created in 2006 to honor those who have made significant contributions to the musical heritage of Nashville."

"It may not be the real thing, but unless Jimi Hendrix can pull off something really amazing, a traveling tribute hopes to embody the spirit of the late guitar genius channeled through some of his former bandmates and contemporaries, as well as a few of the world's best contemporary blues and rock musicians.

For the second time in recent years, some of the best known and most respected players are ready to celebrate the legacy and music of Jimi Hendrix. The second "Experience Hendrix" tour kicks off October 16th in Washington, DC, and winds its way through precious few markets before wrapping up at New York's Beacon Theater October 22nd.

The nearly three-hour extravaganza features blues giant Buddy Guy, pedal steel innovator Robert Randolph, contemporary guitar greats Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, along with Robby Krieger of The Doors, Rolling Stones veteran Mick Taylor, and Mississippi bluesman Hubert Sumlin, each stepping into the spotlight to perform some of the most well known guitar licks in rock-and-roll history.

Adding to the authenticity of the show, Mitch Mitchell (drums) and Billy Cox [ tickets ] (bass), the same Hendrix Experience rhythm section that played behind Hendrix at Woodstock, will be on hand, along with some monumental backup from Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon, better known as Stevie Ray Vaughn's Double Trouble.

Native American band Indigenous and Eric Gales, the Memphis guitarist who is heard on the "Power of Soul" Jimi Hendrix tribute album, are also part of the Experience Hendrix Tour [ tickets ]. "Purple Haze," "Hey Joe," and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" are among the Hendrix numbers slated for performance.

The new Experience Hendrix tour is an exciting prospect for Billy Cox, whose history with Jimi Hendrix dates back to their days in the Army together.

"It's as much of thrill for me to play Jimi's music for audiences now as it was in the early 1960s," Cox said. "The Experience Hendrix tour shows you how timeless this music really is."

Cox recently made some time to chat with LiveDaily during an exclusive interview about his relationship with Hendrix then and now, and the upcoming opportunities he will have to present those freewheeling arrangements once again.
