Are You Experienced by the Jimi Hendrix Experience is widely regarded as the best Jimi Hendrix album. It includes all of Jimi Hendrix’s most popular songs, and it perfectly displays a good amount of Jimi Hendrix’s proficiency with his guitar. The album was originally released in the UK and then re-released in the US later that year. The US version is the better of the two, including songs such as Purple Haze, The Wind Cries Mary, and Hey Joe. When I want to listen to classic Jimi Hendrix, this is always the first album that I go to. Not only is it labeled as one of Jimi Hendrix’s best albums, but it’s also regarded as one of the best rock albums of all time by many music critics.
