Jimi Hendrix created music that continues to inspire and influence musicians today which his influential style of electric guitar, recording in rock and roll and blues, and headlining the famous Woodstock Concert of 1969. His music is unmistakably original and his own; often covered by others, but never imitated. Here are some CD's, books, a DVD, and free downloads of Hendrix music for you to enjoy:
- Jimi's CD's in the library are plentiful:
"Are You Experienced" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience (his band) contains perhaps one of his best known rock songs Purple Haze on it.
"Axis Bold as Love" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience
"Electric Ladyland" contains my favorite Hendrix song, a cover of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower.
"Hendrix in the West" was released in 1971 after Hendrix passed on, and includes a version of the song Johnny B. Goode as well as a Sgt. Pepper tune.
"Valleys of Neptune" is a newer album of songs from Hendrix although it does contain familiar songs.
