Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
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

Best....Hendrix Compilation....Ever.......Period.,
This review is from: Experience Hendrix - The Best of Jimi Hendrix (Audio CD)
I actually own all the hendrix studio recordings, but sometimes (guilty admission) have to skip the odd track or two (little miss strange from Ladyland being a case in point)to get to the real cream, and often found myself wishing I had the ultimate collection of hendrix's songs, back to back, on one CD.Well not any more, baby! As soon as I saw the track list for this bad boy I was amazed. It was just like the compilers of this record had asked me which tracks I wanted them to include! Wish granted! Problem solved! Nothing new obviously (this guy's back catalogue has been raped and pillaged since the 70's)but this package has all the 24carat classics. If you're new to Hendrix, on a tight budget etc, etc, get this beastie while it's still in stock!!

The best guitarist of all time lives on through his music.,

This review is from: Experience Hendrix - The Best of Jimi Hendrix (Audio CD)
When Jimi Hendrix first came along you had people like Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck thinking that they would have to something different for a living because, he was that much more better then them at playing the guitar. Voodoo Child is Hendrix best song and shows you how great he was at playing the guitar. There is a great version of the Bob Dylan song All Along The Watchtower. Here are some other stand-out songs for me Purple Haze, The Wind Cries Mary, Hey Joe, Crosstown Traffic, Foxy Lady and the wonderful Star Spangled Banner which is the American Anthem being done by guitar. All the tracks are great and It would have been really interesting to see what type of music, Hendrix would be doing now if he were still alive. All rock fans should have at least one Hendrix cd in their collection.

another compilation?,
By nils (united kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Experience Hendrix (Audio CD)
5 stars, for sure - after all, this is jimi. but still, just another compilation of jimi's work ... no wonder there is hardly anything from 'Electric Ladyland' on this record. the records published in his life time in their eintirety and some performances - say band of gypsys/ life at the fillmore or the winterland or the berkeley or the san diego or the l.a. forum concerts - that's what really counts.
