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
Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix Reviews:
Razor Light in the Dark 
2008-07-12 - Experience hendrix is a well thought out compilation that really works as an album instead of a bunch of singles and album tracks mashed up together lacking any cohesion.
This collection has a real smooth flow as each track blends into the next and it truly offers you a solid picture of this mad psychedelic guitar virtuoso.
I think that you need to treat yourself to are you experienced so you can hear such mindblowing cuts like third stone and also for the sake of hearing the artists original intentions on how you should first experience these songs.
Electric Ladyland features such stellar cuts like house burning down and burning of the midnight lamp and by not delving deeper into the catalog you miss out on so much essential artistry.
Hendrix wasn't a hit machine but a man on a creative zenith especially during his 3 album marathon with the experience.
Experience those 3 masterpeices and take a taste of the band of gypsies just to hear the vicious assault of machine gun.
Hendrix was given a gift of the highest order so experience it all.
I Know It's Only Rock N' Roll, But I Like IT!
2008-06-19 - As a diehard Hendrix fan... like who isn't, I have to confess I felt that some of Jimi's best songs are conspicuously missing from this album. For example, I can live without "Dolly Dagger" but not without "Spanish Castle Magic"! I wish they had consulted me first when picking songs... but, oh well, heavy sigh, they did not. Still, even with its organizational faults, Jimi still rocks.
This is a classic CD; I carry it in my car at all times. I know I am in the universal flow when I turn on the radio and find myself catching the next Jimi song on the radio waves. (It's called hanging ten on the Tao.)
There are some things you simply cannot get enough of, and Jimi Hendrix is one of them. If you are not going to sit down and burn your own customized CD with your favorite Mr. Jimi songs, then get this album. It is the next best thing.
It is what was advertised
2008-05-14 - I wanted some Hendrix and this CD was it. Took me back to the days when he was monster. Amazon delivered quick in perfect condition.
Best Jimmy collection I could find
2008-02-12 - I'm a new fan of Jimmy Hendrix, so I wanted to find the one CD collection that contained his most famous hits. This CD is definitely the one to go with if you want the best bang for your buck.
Timeless
2008-02-05 - Words don't do his music justice this is the one that I simply could not live without. It's incredible.
