Electric Ladyland

On Electric Ladyland, Jimi explores the recording studio for a double LP beyond compare. Every aspect of Hendrix’s genius comes to life on his third and final studio album. There’s the intense hard-rock punch of “Crosstown Traffic”; the two masterful, very different versions of “Voodoo Chile”; the radical, rollicking interpretation of Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower”; and the dreamy, multilayered beauty of “1983…(A Merman I Should Turn to Be).” This is the sound of a genius dreaming.
