The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced [Mono]

"It's a collection of free feeling and imagination," said Jimi Hendrix about his boundlessly influential and still-revolutionary debut album. A touchstone of psychedelic rock, the psychedelic era, and guitar-driven poetry, Are You Experienced remains one of the greatest albums ever released in any genre. Setting an unheard-of standard for what was possible with melodic feedback, rock, jazz, blues, soul, and pop fusion, and otherworldly guitar playing, the set is simultaneously rooted in the classism of the past, currency of the present, and promise of the future. No guitarist has yet to master let alone catch up with Hendrix's creative vision and many of the most popular tracks from the trailblazing artist's far too short career are here from the psychedelic barrage of "Foxey Lady," "Purple Haze" and "Manic Depression," to the bluesy "Hey Joe," right down to the gentle rocking flow of "The Wind Cries Mary."
