If you like music and call yourself a music fan then you have to have this album. I can't be any clearer than that really. Jimi is a legend and music would not be the same without him. If you own only one album by him, make it this one. This has some amazing blues, searing rock and some more off beat psychedelic stuff too. It moved Jimi away from him more 'pop' leanings from the first two albums and showed what his talents were truly capable of. An excellent album, where every track is a gem.
A classic album, one of the greats. For me, this alum is good as there are so many gust musicians, each intertwining their own music with Hendrix. Buy one and find out!
I love this album. This is Jimi in the studio. It has the melodic and spacey track "1983.. a merman I will return to be", not readily available on compilation albums. We have superb sax playing and the best wah wah guitar on "rainy day dream away". The stereo effects are fantastic with the guitar fading and soaring across the speakers. This could be the best Hendrix production ever.
...if you play guitar or want to play guitar or know nothing about guitar or think you know everything about playing guitar or have never played guitar or think you know it all...then put whatever is in your hands and mind down.Listen to Jimi Hendrix. If you like it...his live stuff(Band of Gypsys) is even better. XXX
