Jimi Hendrix

Axis Bold As Love

60s 70s 180 Gram vinyl Another vital album from Hendrix containing some of rock's molten milestones There's the fluid psychedelia of 'Castles Made of Sand' the viciously funky 'Little Miss Lover' and the sobeautifulithurts 'Little Wing' Hendrix really hits altitude with 'If 6 Was 9' where he waves his 'Freak Flag High' over a tidal wave of guitar and a cacophonous army of Moroccan flutes and he ends with 'Bold as Love' based around Hendrix's typically farfetched hankering for the axis of the planet to be tilted thereby transforming life on earth It works up into a headmelting frenzy of distorted guitar a precursor to the staggeringly expansive leap forward he would take with 1968's 'Electric Ladyland' Hendrix dreamed the impossible and achieved it on his guitar
