In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the release of the Jimi Hendrix Experience masterpiece Electric Ladyland, Experience Hendrix, LLC and Legacy.
Happy 50th Anniversary to The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s third & final studio album Electric Ladyland, originally released October 16, 1968. Electric Ladyland is the third studio album released by in a 14-month span. Sadly, it was their last as well. Time has been very kind to Electric Ladyland. It has consistently ranked high on many greatest albums of all time lists including Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest albums of all time (it ranked 55th).
Upon its release, music critics were confused by the Hendrix and engineer Eddie Kramer experimentation. Melody Maker called the album a muddled mess.
When I first heard Electric Ladyland, I must confess, I didn’t get it either. I’d skip to “All Along the Watchtower” and call it a day. When I eventually did a deep dive, I was mesmerized. Hendrix fused psychedelic rock together with some Delta blues and groundbreaking use of effect to create his best work.
“Crosstown Traffic” is one of the few tracks on the album that features all three members of The Experience. It was the first time Hendrix played an instrument other than guitar on a record. In addition to playing piano, he also played a makeshift kazoo using paper and a comb.
One of the many in-studio guests was Traffic’s Dave Mason, who wound up singing backing vocals on the track. The song was a source of contention between Hendrix and Reprise Records. He never meant for it to be released as a single at all. Hendrix Rolling Stone, “You have the whole planned-out LP, and all of a sudden they’ll make ‘Crosstown Traffic,’ for instance, a single, and that’s coming out of a whole other set.” Hendrix was no longer this guitar prodigy whose fate and musical direction was in the hands of his manager. Paley principles of deformity correction pdf download free apps download. He knew exactly what he wanted Electric Ladyland to sound like and in the process, drove everyone around him crazy with his need to get everything right. Case in point, and much to the consternation of drummer Mitch Mitchell, it took over fifty takes to record the track “Gypsy Eyes.” Much of the delays that plagued the album were due to Hendrix’s insecurity about his singing voice. He often recorded his vocals hidden behind a screen.
Inspired by a jam session with B.B. King, Al Kooper and Elvin Bishop, Hendrix’s 15-minute “Voodoo Chile” captures the mood and spirit of the album. While some have viewed this track as self-indulgent, the excellent musicianship by Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady and Traffic's Steve Winwood (organ) on the track cannot be disputed. This bluesy jam session combined elements of Hendrix’s days backing The Isley Brothers and Little Richard with psychedelic rock making you feel like you’re in a tiny little club after midnight watching this ensemble just play and jam. Arguably, the two most popular tracks on Electric Ladyland are the previously mentioned “All Along the Watchtower” and “Voodoo Child (Slight Return).” These songs have been staples on classic rock radio stations for decades.
Hendrix’s take on Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower” has been praised by Dylan and in some circles, remains the preferred version. It was the band’s one and only top 40 hit, peaking at number 20. “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” is a fitting close to Electric Ladyland.
It was developed from “Voodoo Chile” and recorded the day after with The Experience lineup instead of Winwood and Casady. While filming a segment in the studio for a short documentary, the band just started playing the song. Guitarist Joe Satriani to MusicRadar, 'It's just the greatest piece of electric guitar work ever recorded. In fact, the whole song could be considered the holy grail of guitar expression and technique.
It is a beacon of humanity.” Pulling together Electric Ladyland, amid all of the chaos surrounding him may be Hendrix’s greatest feat. From what appeared to be one long extended jam session and party came a meticulous, well-crafted collection of songs that bounced between psychedelic rock, funk and blues.
