Voodoo Child: The Jimi Hendrix Collection

Review

(Experience Hendrix/Universal)
Release Date: 05/08/2001 12:00

This budget double — 18 studio tracks balanced by 12 live recordings — whups the 20-track Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix. Beyond “Manic Depression,” it omits no essential songs. Several arrive in uncanonical live versions, but you can’t comprehend Hendrix without some of those. Despite climaxing with “Wild Thing” at Monterey rather than leading with it, disc 2 stands as his best live album.

Download: “All Along the Watchtower,” “Johnny B. Goode”
