Music reviews of Are You Experienced
Music Review: The Birth Of Guitar Pyrotechnics.
Rating: 5 Stars
I imagine you actually had to be around in 1967 in order to understand the unbelievable impact Jimi Hendrix had on rock music. People simply didn't play guitar like this before. His use of feedback, lightning fast hammer-ons and pull-off, and whammy bar dives must have seemed completely avant-garde at the time. His fretboard pyrotechnics gave new meaning to the term hard rock.
When you here the monsterous riff of the opener "Purple Haze", you can only wonder if maybe it was here that heavy metal was born. Groups like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath often get such credit but in a way, Hendrix's sound is just as heavy--if not more so--than those band. Hendrix's group, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, adds massive support to his already stead-fast guitar playing. Drummer Mitch Mitchell and Bassist Noel Redding can go from being tight with accurate timing to being a wall of noise that perfectly complements Jimi's chaotic playing.
There's a little bit of everything here. Hard Rock (Purple Haze), Blues (Red House), softer singer-songwriter like songs (The Wind Cries Mary), and even avant-garde jazz (Third Stone From The Sun). Regardless of this variety, everything sounds just as good when the volume is turned up to eleven. This is all loud, in your face, psychedelic rock. No album rocked this hard before and few have rocked this hard since.
It should be noted that the US and UK releases had different track selections and different running orders. This remastered edition (which by the way sounds great) collects all of those track on to one CD. Any editions released before are probably out of print anyway so this is definitely the one to pick up.
Description of Are You Experienced
As emblematic of its time as of its sorcerer-like creator, 1967's Are You Experienced unleashed Jimi Hendrix onto a world in the midst of such cultural and musical shakeups that it really didn't seem as "far out" as it actually was. It wasn't just Hendrix's virtuosic skill as a pure player that was so impressive; it was, even more, the range and scope of sheer sound that he coaxed, cajoled, and ripped out of his instrument. "Purple Haze," "Manic Depression," and "I Don't Live Today" filled ears with indelible sonic images, and songs like "Foxey Lady" and "Fire" pointed the way toward a new brand of rock-charged soul music. And how about a hand for drummer Mitch Mitchell? --Billy AltmanElectric Blues Guitar CDs
