Re-experience Hendrix
This week marks 40 years since the release of Hendrix’s debut album, ‘Are You Experienced,’ launching him into international acclaim and recognition as one of the greatest guitarists to have ever lived despite the premature end of his career after a supposed drug overdose in 1970.
Hendrix continues to rank as the greatest guitarist of all time (yeah, I know, even above Clapton), and ‘Are You Experienced’ ranks as number 51 in the 500 greatest albums of all time.
As IG of IG Blog suggests, the best way to thank Hendrix, to show him the respect he deserves, to listen to some of his music. Loud.
IG suggests buying an album. I won’t go quite that far - by all means buy an album, you won’t be dissapointed, but for those who can’t really afford or would rather save their pennies to support more contemporary starving artists, I would encourage simple appreciation of Hendrix at one of his defining moments: Woodstock, 1969, performing Fire from ‘Are you Experienced’, brought to you by the ever brilliant YouTube.
