SELECTIONS FROM "ARE YOU EXPERIENCED"
2023 CALENDAR

Bandmixers-Discography Series / Selections From -

JIMI HENDRIX / ARE YOU EXPERIENCED (1967)

Picture
One of the most stunning debuts in rock history, and one of the definitive albums of the psychedelic era. On Are You Experienced, Jimi Hendrix synthesized various elements of cutting edge 1967 rock into music that sounded both futuristic and rooted in the best traditions of rock, blues, pop, and soul. It was his mind-boggling guitar work, of course, that got most of the ink, building upon the experiments of British innovators like Jeff Beck and Pete Townshend to chart new sonic territories in feedback, distortion, and sheer volume but it wouldn't have meant much, however, without his excellent material and the often under appreciated contributions of drummer Mitch Mitchell and bassist Noel Redding, who gave the music a rhythmic pulse that fused parts of rock and improvised jazz.  Are You Experienced was an immediate critical and commercial success, and it is widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time.
