Music reviews of Axis Bold As Love CD/DVD
Music Review: No Match For the Debut
Rating: 3 Stars
Unlike many of my classmates in high school, I never worshipped Jimi Hendrix. Oh, I liked him just fine but there was a lot of other music out there far more interesting to me at the time. I did buy Are You Experienced and Electric Ladyland on vinyl, but Axis Bold As Love always seemed kind of weak to me. Though it found Hendrix wading into a more experimental sound, it was certainly no match for the debut. Fast-forward forty years and you will find me buying on CD some of the acclaimed albums I skipped for some reason back in the day, sometimes only just to listen again and discover whether my ever-expanding musical tastes find them more enjoyable now. Axis Bold As Love is one of those and after listening again I find that though I like it more than I did, I still find it rather weak in view of what came both before and after.
There are a couple of cuts I like pretty well, including the lamentably abbreviated Little Wing, the driving Little Miss Lover, and the poorly mixed If Six Was Nine. The booklet tells the story of how that last one was put together after Hendrix lost (!!!) some of the tapes and claims that it was fixed. Are they kidding? It sounded better on the Easy Rider soundtrack! Still, it remains one of the best songs on the album.
As for the other cuts, the worst is EXP which I find to be downright silly. The band must have been awful high to come up with that and think it worthy of inclusion on an album. Many other songs sound like Hendrix was trying to hard to be on the cutting edge and end up sounding sorely dated instead. This is especially noticeable where Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell are singing back-up.
As with the other remastered albums in this series, Axis Bold As Love comes with an interesting DVD that offers the fan an inside look at how the record was made as well as an attractive booklet that contains lyrics, an essay on the making of the album, and lots of pictures. So even if you are just a lukewarm Hendrix fan, there is value enough here for you to buy it just to have it and maybe even occasionally enjoy it.
