Legacy

American modern electric blues guitar virtuoso; lyricist, vocalist. Jimi Hendrix was a self-taught guitarist who rose to fame in the 1960s. He began his career backing R&B greats such as Ike and Tina Turner, Sam Cooke, and B.B. King. In London, he formed The Jimi Hendrix Experience with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. Their debut album "Are You Experienced" was released in 1967 and earned Hendrix international acclaim as a premier rock instrumentalist and innovator of his generation.

After a landmark appearance at the Monterey Pop festival, Hendrix released two more successful albums - "Axis: Bold As Love" (1968) and "Electric Ladyland" (1968). These albums showcased his blues-oriented developments and further solidified his status as a musical genius. Despite his untimely death in 1970, Hendrix's music continued to captivate audiences through posthumous releases like "The Cry Of Love" (1971) and the soundtrack to the documentary film "Jimi Hendrix" (1973).

Jimi Hendrix's talent as a guitarist and innovative approach to music made him an iconic figure in rock history. His contributions continue to inspire generations of musicians worldwide.

Originally released in 1971, and last issued on CD in 1992, The Cry Of Love was compiled and mixed by Hendrix's longtime engineer Eddie Kramer and Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell. The bulk of these tracks were recorded between December 1969 and the summer of 1970 at Electric Lady Studios in New York, and were intended to be part of an ambitious double LP tentatively titled First Rays of the New Rising Sun. Commercially, The Cry Of Love was a huge success, reaching #3 in the U.S. and #2 in the UK, and spawned favorites such as ''Angel,'' ''Freedom,'' and ''Ezy Ryder.'' While Mitch Mitchell and bassist Billy Cox comprised the rhythm section on the lion's share of the tracks, Buddy Miles played drums on ''Ezy Ryder'' and Noel Redding played bass on ''My Friend'' (recorded in 1968, before his departure from the Jimi Hendrix Experience). The Cry Of Love also includes the participation of notable guest musicians including Steve Winwood, Chris Wood and Buzzy Linhart among others.
