HENDRIX JIMI EXPERIENCE HENDRIX THE BEST OF... SKU:ADIB00000DHZJ

Experience Hendrix brings together the major singles with a stack of majestic album tracks and the career-defining live Woodstock version of The Star Spangled Banner on a fat 20-tracker. While best used as a sampler to direct new listeners to the immortal Are You Experienced, Electric Ladyland, and so on, the CD (which supplants the short-lived Ultimate Experience collection) does hang together as a listen. Its blend of Hendrix the rocker and Hendrix the underrated soul man is suggestive, painting a picture of a multifaceted genius and transcending its plainly mercenary origins. In the end, its effect--like that of all Hendrix s best records--is to remind us of a Jimi very, very much alive. --Rickey Wright SKU : ADIB00000DHZJ
