Who can forget the god of guitar, Mr. Hendrix himself. This album is good and you don't have to be trippin' to enjoy this psychedelic rock classic.

I was fortunate enough to see Jimi in concert in Seattle a couple times. He was one of a kind, there has never been anything quite like it and this was his best (imho). RIP Jimi.

As emblematic of its time as of its sorcerer-like creator, 1967's Are You Experienced unleashed Jimi Hendrix onto a world in the midst of such cultural and musical shakeups that it really didn't seem as "far out" as it actually was. It wasn't just Hendrix's virtuosic skill as a pure player that was so impressive; it was, even more, the range and scope of sheer sound that he coaxed, cajoled, and ripped out of his instrument. "Purple Haze," "Manic Depression," and "I Don't Live Today" filled ears with indelible sonic images, and songs like "Foxey Lady" and "Fire" pointed the way toward a new brand of rock-charged soul music. And how about a hand for drummer Mitch Mitchell? --Billy Altman
