Rating: éééé
Genre: Blues-Rock
Mostly recorded in 1968 and '69, after the Experience was pretty much done, this arguably could have been the next album from the greatest guitar player in Rock 'n' Roll. Most of this is previously unreleased and what had been released had been pretty mangled by overdubs.
Listening to these songs, in 2013, for the first time makes clear just what a loss to music was Hendrix' premature death.My least favorite songs in this set are the slow burning blues jams Bleeding Heart and Villanova Junction Blues, but that's just in comparison to rockers like Easy Blues (my favorite song on the disc) or the super funky Mojo Man.
If you have any soft spot in your musical heart for Hendrix, do yourself a favor and listen to this album from front to back.
