Biography

Widely recognized as one of the most creative and influential musicians of the 20th century, Jimi Hendrix pioneered the explosive possibilities of the electric guitar. Hendrix's innovative style of combining fuzz, feedback and controlled distortion created a new musical form. Because he was unable to read or write music, it is nothing short of remarkable that Jimi Hendrix's meteoric rise in the… Read more in Amazon's Jimi Hendrix Store

5.0 out of 5 stars (4.5 stars) Hendrix's hippie guru singer-songwriter album? Yeah, we'll go with that, December 9, 2007

This review is from: Axis: Bold As Love (Audio CD)
Axis is the weakest of the original Jimi Hendrix albums. Still, it does get 4.5 stars, so it's not like it sucks or anything. The emphasis is on the songwriting this time (rather than the guitar), and he's moved well beyond the debut's sex, drugs and rock `n' roll approach. In fact, there's a lot of first-rate pop ballads to be found here, and not just the beautiful mini-symphony "Little Wing": "Castles Made of Sand" is Jimi at his most poetic; "One Rainy Wish" is a wonderful piece of psychedelic folk with heavy guitars; "Up from the Skies" is mellow, jazzy, and funny; "Bold As Love" unloads original metaphors and a heavenly guitar solo. There's some hard rock here, and while it's less pronounced, it's certainly worthwhile: the anti-conformity fusion jam "If 6 Was 9"; the stampeding "Spanish Castle Magic"; likable funk-rock on Noel Redding's "She's So Fine"; "Little Miss Lover"; and "You Got Me Floatin'" (I stress likable because they're clearly not highlights). The only real headache is the feedback experiment "E.X.P": the rest is quite recommendable.
