Are You Experienced? CD review

The Jimi Hendrix Experience, 1967 (?).

All the big(gest)Hendrix stuff is here.
If you haven't tuned into the electric guitar pioneer before, this is the one to do it.
A blaze of electric creativity - no one tops Hendrix in terms of exploring the sound of the electric guitar.
A great backing rhythm section also - virtually psychic support - tight!
Hendrix's vocals are so-so, I reckon, but were never the reason to listen to this stuff anyway.
Too many GREAT songs to have favourites.

9/10
