Experience Hendrix brings together the major singles with a stack of majestic album tracks and the career-defining live Woodstock version of "The Star Spangled Banner" on a fat 20-tracker. While best used as a sampler to direct new listeners to the immortal Are You Experienced, Electric Ladyland, and so on, the CD (which supplants the short-lived Ultimate Experience collection) does hang together as a listen. Its blend of Hendrix the rocker and Hendrix the underrated soul man is suggestive, painting a picture of a multifaceted genius and transcending its plainly mercenary origins. In the end, its effect--like that of all Hendrix's best records--is to remind us of a Jimi very, very much alive. --Rickey Wright

5 out of 5 stars Whole Hendrix.......2007-07-02

An excellent Hendrix compilation. All of the famous stuff still played on the radio is on here, as well as lesser-knowns. Definitely get this if a Hendrix fan. 20 tracks, over an hour of music. Great value.

5 out of 5 stars Jimi Hendrix: A man whose spirit and music is immortal........2007-06-17

I don't know why I didn't review this album a long time ago. Jimi Hendrix is one of the greatest artists in rock music, and the greatest guitarist of all time. He wasn't the fastest, but his music revolutionized so much music, and in the small amount of time he was around, as well. "Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix" is an essential piece of rock and roll. It's very accessable, literally in every store I've been in, and it only goes for ten dollars.
On this 20-song compilation, you get such popular tracks as "Purple Haze", "Fire", and Jimi's highest-charter, the timeless, Bob Dylan cover "All Along The Watchtower". Of course, Jimi was influenced by a variety of music, as he shows in the incredible blues stylings of "Red House" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return"). You have such trippy songs as the soul-influenced "Crosstown Traffic", a personal favorite, the somewhat-dirty and ever-groovy "Foxey Lady", the brilliant masterpiece, "If 6 Was 9" and the "it's-so-trippy-I-don't-know-what-to-say" work of art that is "Bold As Love". Then there's the eternal beauty of "Little Wing", the funky, post-humous, "Dolly Dagger" and his immortal genius of the Woodstock recording of "Star Spangled Banner". Of course, there are more than that, but this just goes to show what a musician Jimi Hendrix was!
All in all, an excellent collection that should belong in every classic rock fan's library. After this, you might wanna check out "Band of Gypsys", as it shows Jimi's stunning live work. Although artists like Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Led Zeppelin may stir controversy, I always believe that it's what you personally think of the music. And I, for one, believe Jimi Hendrix's music is timeless, awesome and extremely influential. Hope you all love this one, peace!

5 out of 5 stars Jimi at his best without the infinite guitar solos.......2007-03-19

All songs that have come to be Hendrix classics and show his skill without being self-serving on solos. Nice remake of "Hey Joe" (originally done by The Leaves") actually better than the original in my opinion. Has all the classics that used to be on rock radio in the '60's, but even though the arrangements aren't real fancy (bass, guitar and drums) they are good for the time. If you're a JH fan, this is a must-have.

4 out of 5 stars Terrific Collection for the Budget-Minded.......2005-10-06

Jimi Hendrix's music is released solely through the Experience Hendrix label. In 2002 they remastered the 1969 SMASH HITS collection. This 2005 20th Century Masters Collection is the same album with only slightly different artwork. All three releases contain the same 12 songs ("Red House" and "Foxey Lady" ARE included). Are there better collections available? Certainly. But for ten bucks, you get some of Hendrix's classic songs. As far as budget releases go, this one is pretty hard to beat.

3 out of 5 stars Why?.......2005-10-04

As far as I can tell, the only time one of these lame "Millennium" collections is needed, is when there are no collections for an artist. Guess what, Jimi has numerous hits albums out, and they're almost all better. Not to mention his original albums. Obviously these songs are classic, and the remastering is nice, but at only 10 tracks, there's easily another 10 missing? Please get the 20 track "Experience Hendrix", the old "Ultimate Experience", or his 2-disc best of before this. However, even a little Hendrix is better than none.

3 out of 5 stars Just SMASH HITS reissued--nothing expanded.......2005-09-14

Don't understand why they couldn't have added more of his big songs on this reissue, since they've basically renamed it. This is a typical lazy effort in this whole 20th Century Masters-Best of-Millennium Collection series. And could it have more subtitles? Tracks:

1. purple haze (2:52)
2. fire (2:45)
3. the wind cries mary (3:21)
4. can you see me (2:33)
5. hey joe (3:30)
6. all along the watch tower (4:00)
7. stone free (3:36)
8. crosstown traffic (2:19)
9. manic depression (3:42)
10. remember (2:48)
11. red house (3:50)
12. foxy lady (3:19)
