Album 8 / 100: The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix is one of the most influential and iconic guitar players of all time. There is absolutely no doubt about that, and you can hear it in every note he plays. Overall, though, this album is a meandering haze of jam infused rock and psychedelic blues. While I'm sure that loose vibe is the main draw for a lot of listeners, it just doesn't work for me. At its tightest with songs like 'Crosstown Traffic,' 'All Along the Watchtower,' and 'House Burning Down,' it really rips. For me though, the wandering far outweighs the rest.
