Hermon Hitson is also intimately linked to one of the greatest guitar players ever, Mr. Jimi Hendrix. The production of the Hendrix album, "Free Spirit", was originally to be released as a Herman Hitson work! The album was produced by Mr. Johnny Brantley and Mr. Lee Moses. ALL of the lead guitar and lead vocals that appeared on the original album "Free Spirit," were done by Hermon Hitson, with the exception of Lee Moses as added vocals on "Hey Leroy." Hermon never received any credit for this work! To see what others have to say about this controversy, simply GOOGLE the words “Hitson and Hendrix.”
