Description: 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

Reviews:

Good music, but....

This guy is definitely one of the most highly overrated guitar players, if not the most highly overrated, of all time. I love his songwriting, but his solos are simple blues with a lot of screaming manipulated overdrive, and he plays SO sloppy!! I would probably like Hendrix a lot more if he wasn't constantly called the best guitarist ever. I think Jimmy Page (and many others, see my reviews on Symphony X) is way ahead of this guy!! I've never seen a guitarist get so much respect for setting his guitar on fire. I know everyone is going to rip me and say, you haven't heard ALL of his stuff. Well, I have, including his "Blues" album. If you want to hear blues done better, check out Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Okay for Half Serious Listeners

Although this CD is very good for the money and has some of his "good hits" it doesn't say anything about his real music. Being an overly obsessive Hendrix fan, there is more to his music than Purple Haze. If you plan to look beyond his regular music, buy all four of his non-posthumous albums and listen to the true Hendrix.

Still Rockin'!!

When Jimi "The master of rock" Hendrix moves his graceful fingers over the strings in the first notes of the first song, "Purple Haze," something will say to you, "Man, that's cool!" Maybe there is a reason we're still talking about him so long after his death.
