Swapping the Groove: 14 Music Legends That Exist in a Parallel Universe (5 of 8)

Jamie Hendrix — The String-Slinging Sorceress

Identified by many to be the greatest guitar player of all time – male or female – it is rumored that when aliens made plans to conquer the Earth in the late 1960s, they changed their minds because they were so impressed by Jamie’s fiery mix of blues, rock, and soul. Her most notable hit was “Excuse Me While I Kiss This Girl.” One fateful night at Woodstock, when playing a rockin’ version of the National Anthem, she would produce a guitar chord so impossible, so incredible, that it caused the entire stage to explode, taking her and around half the attendees with it.

Janus Joplin — The Psychedelic Warlock

Janus Joplin, the psychedelic warlock, would bring passion and his uniquely wild, untamed energy to the stage. That gruff voice of his, a smoky baritone, would be perfect for belting out his hard-living blues anthems. A self-destructive lifestyle would surround Janus with an air of tragedy, making his music a hymn for those living life on the edge. Welcome to the 27 Club, Janus!
