Bursting with ideas and energy, Jimi Hendrix's second album release
of 1968 (following Axis: Bold as Love) was a double-LP set that
showcased virtually everything the guitar genius had to offer:
blistering blues ("Voodoo Chile"), galaxy-patrolling space jams
("1983... A Merman I Should Turn to Be"), psychedelic soul
("Crosstown Traffic"), and skyscraping rock ("Voodoo Child (Slight
Return)"). In the midst of all this was even a hit song--Hendrix's
remarkable reading of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower,"
featuring a series of baton-passing guitar solos, all distinct and
brilliant. Seemingly diffuse when first released; in hindsight,
kaleidoscopically eclectic. --Billy Altman
