Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

jimi hendrix’s third album was the first he produced himself, a fever dream of underwater electric soul cut in round-the-clock sessions at the Record Plant in New York. In addition to the psychedelic Delta blues of “Voodoo Chile,” there’s the precision snap of “Crosstown Traffic” and a cover of Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower,” thrown down in a burst of spectral fury.
