Product Description

Amazon.ca

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Historically Jimi! Jun 20 2012
By C. Preston
Format:Audio CD
If someone were to ask me who I missed the most in the genre of Rock it would be hands down Jimi Hendrix. I think he was the most inventively creative guitarists & still in my Top 5 of the best guitarists ever. This is a great compilation of some of his best & most memorable songs so in that sense is well put together.

My favorite tracks on this CD are (but they all are great):

The Wind Cries Mary, Hey Joe, Angel, All Along The Watchtower, Little Wing, Bold As Love, Castles Made of Sand, Red House.

If your tastes are for his heavier rock...then check out Purple Haze, Manic Depression, If 6 Was 9, Foxey Lady, Voodoo Child, & his unforgettable rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" (wicked)!

5.0 out of 5 stars True Rock. July 11 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This album definitly has a lot of great material, and will appeal to any Jimi Hendrix fan and most other people as well. Although some may argue about which song should or should not have been placed on this disk, it doesn't really matter, because almost everything Jimi played was good anyway. Please disregard "seawasp" if you are considering buying this album. He either has extremely poor taste in music or has never listened to the CD and just writes reviews for fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jimi's Finest Songs (Hence the "Best of Jimi Hendrix" Title)
I confess, I was not a Hendrix fan when I bought this album. I had heard ONE song, and only 30 seconds worth of it. However, what I heard I KNEW was something worth listening to. Read more

Naturally growing up with Jimmy Hendrix I would prefer the original albums. Usually leaving the choice of what is "best" to someone else is precarious at best. Read more
