Experience Hendrix: The Best Of Jimi Hendrix

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.

Words don't do his music justice this is the one that I simply could not live without. It's incredible.

Jimi Hendrix is one of my all-time favorite musicians and I picked this up a few weeks ago on the cheap. That's one of the best things about download mania because so many used CDs are now available at an inexpensive price. Just about everything that a fan of Hendrix--looking for a quick fix--needs is here on this collection. Certainly all of the classics are, but I recommend listening to his live stuff as, in the flesh, he was even more of a standout than in the studio. Personally, "The Wind Cries Mary, Hey Joe, Little Wing, Red House, Manic Depression, and Crosstown Traffic" are the Hendrix tunes I treasure most. If you don't know his oeuvre though then I would not be surprised if "Purple Haze" and "Foxey Lady" were the ones to immediately impress you most. Those were the tracks I could not get enough of as a boy. Hail Jimi! Gone but never forgotten.

My best friend and I just discovered Hendrix a short time before he died--what an amazing artist and rocker! One of the 8-tracks I bought back then was Cry of Love--loaded with lesser known but very fine singles. These, along with the classics (Fire, Purple Haze, etc.), are here--making it in my view the best compilation of the best 60's psychodelic rocker. Check out Angel, Dolly Dagger, Night Bird Flying, and more...

If you like Jimi, you'll want this in your collection. Soulful and sweet! Takes you back to the sixties.
