THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE: ELECTRIC LADYLAND

Electric Ladyland is Jimi Hendrix at his creative peak. It features Jimi's most experimental and innovative music recorded in his lifetime, as well as some of the best. This 75 minute journey will send you somewhere else, somewhere beautiful and strange. On this album, Jimi isn't just a guitarist and singer, he's the director, he's mastermind, he's the artiest extraordinaire. It's also Jimi's most diverse and eclectic album, exploring and mastering so many sonic pallets; psychedelia, pop, blues, gospel, soul, rock, funk, and progressive rock; it's all there! Electric Ladyland does have it's weak points, most notably the title track, but most double albums do.

Best picks: "Crosstown Traffic", "Voodoo Chile", "Gypsy Eyes", "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", "1983 (a Merman I Should Turn to Be)" and "All Along the Watchtower"
