THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE
MITCH MITCHELL, JIMI HENDRIX, NOEL REDDING
The greatest rock guitarist of all time, with a raw, blues-influenced style that brought fire and emotion
to rock music unseen before or sinceIn his brief four-year reign as a superstar,
Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since.
Hendrix was a master at coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument, often
with innovative amplification experiments that produced astral-quality feedback and roaring distortion.
His frequent hurricane blasts of noise and dazzling showmanship -- he could and would play behind
his back and with his teeth and set his guitar on fire -- has sometimes obscured his considerable
gifts as a songwriter, singer, and master of a gamut of blues, R&B, and rock styles

One of the most stunning debuts in rock history, and one of the definitive albums of the psychedelic era.
On Are You Experienced, Jimi Hendrix synthesized various elements of the cutting edge of 1967 rock
into music that sounded both futuristic and rooted in the best traditions of rock, blues, pop, and soul.
It was his mind-boggling guitar work, of course, that got most of the ink, building upon the experiments
of British innovators like Jeff Beck and Pete Townshend to chart new sonic territories in feedback,
distortion, and sheer volume. It wouldn't have meant much, however, without his excellent material,
whether psychedelic frenzy ("Foxy Lady," "Manic Depression,"), instrumental freak-out jams
("Third Stone from the Sun"), blues ("Hey Joe"), or tender, poetic compositions
("The Wind Cries Mary"), that demonstrated the breadth of his songwriting talents.
Not to be underestimated were the contributions of drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding,
who gave the music a rhythmic pulse that fused parts of rock and improvised jazz.
Many of these songs are among Hendrix's very finest…(AllMusic)
