Experience Hendrix brings together the major singles with a stack of majestic album tracks and the career-defining live Woodstock version of "The Star Spangled Banner" on a fat 20-tracker. While best used as a sampler to direct new listeners to the immortal Are You Experienced, Electric Ladyland, and so on, the CD (which supplants the short-lived Ultimate Experience collection) does hang together as a listen. Its blend of Hendrix the rocker and Hendrix the underrated soul man is suggestive, painting a picture of a multifaceted genius and transcending its plainly mercenary origins. In the end, its effect--like that of all Hendrix's best records--is to remind us of a Jimi very, very much alive. --Rickey Wright

Rating: - I sadly gave my copy away
My mom gave a used copy of it to me as a Christmas present a while ago, and later I got the albums that all of the tracks from this album are on.This title definitely lives up to it's name in one sense.It primarily has his most popular recordings and with this album, you really do experience Hendrix.The real thing that I should mention is that this is the perfect Jimi Hendrix album to start out with.

Rating: - The Only Jimi You'll Need
There are older Jimi Hendrix collections out there, like Smash Hits - but don't bother with them.This is the one to get.Like most say, this one really packages the essential hits.
My only quibble about Hendrix's catalogue is that he came in an era where the audio recording technology available to him wasn't as sonically superb (only the Beatles would exceed all peers)...so it's a little rough here and there but the man's brilliance shines through.Remastering has no doubt improved ...
