Electric Ladyland is the third and final album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, released in 1968 on Reprise Records. Written and produced by Jimi Hendrix, the album is seen as the peak of Hendrix’s mastery of the electric guitar, and is frequently cited as one of the greatest rock albums of all time. It is not only the last of his albums released as the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but also the last of Hendrix’s studio albums to be professionally produced under his own supervision. After Electric Ladyland, Hendrix spent the remaining two years of his life attempting to organize a new band and recording a breadth of new songs.
Released as a double album, Electric Ladyland is a cross-section of Hendrix’s wide range of musical talent. It includes samples of several genres and styles of music, including the psychedelia of “Burning of the Midnight Lamp” (previously a UK single in the summer of 1967), the bluesy guitar jam “Voodoo Chile”, the New Orleans-style rock and roll of “Come On”, the epic studio production of “1983… (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)”, and the social commentary of “House Burning Down”. The album also features a cover version of Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower” that was widely praised by many, including Dylan himself, as well as “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”, a staple of both radio and guitar repertoire.
The Outtakes disc features demos/studio outtakes/rough mixes that were recorded during 1968 and 1969. This CD offers an excellent insiders’ view at how Jimi worked and how he developed his songs in the studio.
