Description of Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix:
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

Seattle's Best
2009-09-29 - "Experience Hendrix" is a marvelous introduction to the blues rock/psychedelic rock great himself, Jimi Hendrix. It's like a peppy shot of espresso, with some spices and hippie hemp milk thrown in for good measure. Hendrix is part of the great trinity of psychedelic rock guitarists--along with Jerry Garcia and Carlos Santana. He electrified Woodstock, the Isle of Wight--and was as capable of studio magic as amazing live performances. Had he not passed away in the September of 1970, who knows how else he would've revolutionized rock?
"Experience Hendrix" opens with the amazing,trippy "Purple Haze." It hooks you from the opening riff. "Fire" is as flames that consumed Hendrix's guitar at the Monterey Pop Festival. "The Wind cries Mary" is a powerful ballad. "All along the watchtower" is a highlight. It's one of Hendrix's best--it's tremendous in the studio album "Electric Ladyland" as it was when he performed it live. "Manic Depression" is powerful blues rock. "Little Wing" is one of Hendrix's most popular ballads--listening to the original is sonic proof why it has endured. There's the incredible "If 6 was 9." "Bold as Love" is one of the great classic rock love songs. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" is another classic that's lasted. "Freedom" is an amazing ballad,with lyrics like "I want to be free to give." The album closes with Hendrix's electrifying performance of the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock. It's fitting for the 40th anniversary of the "3 days of peace,love and music."
Get experienced!
Jimi is King!
2009-09-19 - I may be a fan of metal, but that does'nt mean I don't appreciate the classics, and Jimi happens to be my favorite. Despite the fact that he wrote 99% of these songs stoned, his music can not only be catchy, but have some pretty deep meaning to them, and his legendary guitar skills complement nicely with these lyrics. The top five songs I recomend are:
1. Voodoo Child
2. Hey Joe
3. Little Wing
4. Fire
5. Wind Cries Mary
''Voodoo Child Baby...''
2009-08-25 - I doubt that there will ever be a guitarist who plays with as much passion and emotion as Jimi. With this compliation, you get some of his greatest and most famous songs, including ''Purple Haze'' ''Voodoo Child'' and ''Along the Watchtowerm,'' all of them featuring great riffs and solos from the Godfather of guitar.
Needless to say, Jimi was the star of the Hendrix Experience, but the bassists (Billy Cox and Noel Redding) and drummer (Mitch Mitchell) were outstanding too. I think there is nothing controversial in calling The Hendrix Experience one of the best bands of all time.

Two Need To Be Included 
2009-08-12 - Two selections need to be on this compilation; "51st Anniversery" and "Wait Until Tomorrow". That would make it almost perfect.
