Editorial Reviews

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

Pure Guitar Genius! (2008-04-10)

Jimi was the first real experimenter with the then new fangled electronic gadgetry associated with electric guitar and guitar effects, and the first man to actually try to make a guitar talk! In '69 at the Albert Hall, The Experience were superb. Ever seen a guitar player playing the background and melody both at the same time on one guitar left handed? This was Hendrix! Absolute genius!! If any musician ever deserved legendary status it was Jimi. Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding too were superb artists in their own right in The Experience. Although better guitarists have come, and gone, nobody has been as revolutionary on electric guitar as Jimi was. Always striving to exceed the limits of the technology back then, and with such wonderful songs, I really miss him. On this album you can hear just how good. Favourite? Little Wing. It is such a short tune, but always fills me up inside almost to tears. Jimi always was and always will be special. Get this compilation to find out just how special.

Voodoo Chile (2007-12-18)

I own this album, its got to be probably my most played album.I jam along to it, I can listen to it. I have some of Jimi's stuff, you know the original albums etc, but this compilation just for me is what Jimi was all about.A must have, every one should have this CD in their collection.

the guy who invented the heavy metal guitar (2007-11-03)

i really miss jimi hendrix he was a great guitar player and would be one of my favorite guitar players of all time. he invented the great heavy metal guitar and he was a great one for a beginner. i'm so sad that he's been dead for a long time. i love this compilation, my favorite hit from the album is voodoo child that is some of his best guitar. purple haize and all along the watchtower are my other favorites. i also like the wind cries mary, fire, hey joe, and foxy lady too. it is highly recommended to get this cd.

A few glaring omissions, but good nonetheless (2007-10-06)

Jimi Hendrix was an awesome songwriter who knew how to play to the song in question, but as a guitar player, he has been surpassed by many since. That said, composition means more then technique, and he was the best electric guitarist of his (short) era. However, if this collection is meant to offer a comprehensive overview of his career, then where is 'Machine Gun'? I mean, it's his best song, and it's got his best solo, so why isn't it here? In fact, nothing from 'Band of Gypsys' is here. I also question the omissions of legendary songs such as 'Voodoo Chile', '1983...A Merman I Should Turn To Be)', 'Are You Experienced?', 'Rainy Day, Dream Away', 'Pali Gap' and 'Ezy Ryder'. And there should be at least two songs from 'Band of Gypsys' album.This is a good place to start if you're new to Hendrix, but just so you know, this man was about soul, not technique, so don't expect baffling dispays of techniqual wizardry. This is soulfood in its heartiest form.
