There was only one Jimi Hendrix, and the way he assimilated blues, folk, jazz, hard rock and just plain trippiness into a guitar sound that will never be equaled makes him one of the most admired musicians of the 20th century. This compilation has all the big radio hits, including the classics "Purple Haze," "All Along the Watchtower," "Voodoo Child," "Crosstown Traffic," "Foxy Lady," and album gems like the lovely "Angel," making it a nice, quick introduction to a one-of-a-kind guitar player and musician. ~ Steve Leggett
