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
'AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE'

Jimi Hendrix's second album followed up his groundbreaking debut effort with a solid collection
of great tunes and great interactive playing between himself, Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell,
and the recording studio itself. Wisely retaining manager Chas Chandler to produce the album
and Eddie Kramer as engineer, Hendrix stretched further musically than the first album,
but even more so as a songwriter. He was still quite capable of coming up with spacy rockers like
"You Got Me Floating," "Up from the Skies," and "Little Miss Lover," radio-ready to follow
on the commercial heels of "Foxey Lady" and "Purple Haze." But the beautiful, wistful ballads
"Little Wing," "Castles Made of Sand," "One Rainy Wish," and the title track set closer show
remarkable growth and depth as a tunesmith, harnessing Curtis Mayfield soul guitar to Dylanesque
lyrical imagery and Fuzz Face hyperactivity to produce yet another side to his grand psychedelic
musical vision. These are tempered with Jimi's most avant-garde tracks yet, "EXP"
and the proto-fusion jazz blowout of "If 6 Was 9."…(AllMusic)
