Jimi Hendrix Experience – Axis: Bold as Love

Description

Released only seven months after the group’s highly successful debut, Are You Experienced. In the United States, Reprise Records delayed the release until the following month. The album reached the top ten in the album charts in both countries.

The album displayed several musical styles and critics saw it as demonstrating Jimi Hendrix’s growth as a songwriter. It introduced “Spanish Castle Magic” and “Little Wing”, two Hendrix compositions that draw on his roots performing with rhythm and blues bands and would remain in his live repertoire throughout his career.
