LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES- OCT 16, 2019…FIFTY ONE YEARS AGO TODAY THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE RELEASED “ELECTRIC LADYLAND.” THIS RECORD IS THE THIRD AND FINAL STUDIO ALBUM FROM THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE, AND IS THE ONLY LP FROM THE GROUP TO BE PRODUCED BY HENDRIX. ‘ ELECTRIC LADYLAND’ WAS THE EXPERIENCE’S ONLY NUMMBER ONE ALBUM. IT WAS DRIVEN BY THEIR COVER OF THE BOB DYLAN TRACK ‘ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER.’ CONSIDERED BY MANY AS HENDRIX’S GREATEST WORK, THIS DOUBLE ALBUM IS RANKED #55 ON ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE’S LIST OF “THE TOP 500 GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL-TIME.”
HERE’S HENDRIX WITH A GREAT SONG FROM THE RECORD.
