Electric Ladyland

Bursting with ideas and energy, Jimi Hendrix's second album release of 1968 (following Axis: Bold As Love) was a double album set that showcased virtually everything the guitar genius had to offer.

The album features blistering blues with tracks like "Voodoo Chile", galaxy-patrolling space jams with "1983... A Merman I Should Turn To Be", psychedelic soul with "Crosstown Traffic", and sky-scraping rock with "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)".

In the midst of all this was even a hit song - Hendrix's remarkable reading of Bob Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower", featuring a series of baton-passing guitar solos, all distinct and brilliant.
