Jimi Hendrix Experience
Axis: Bold As Love LP vinyl

‘Axis: Bold As Love' was the follow-up to ‘Are You Experienced?', and represented a much more conscious use of the recording studio's possibilities. Where his live shows continued to showcase the raw rocking power of the experience, the recording studio gave Hendrix the composer / arranger a broader palette. There are still plenty of powerful blues / rock-inflected songs, such as the menacing 'if 6 was 9', the rolling ‘Spanish Castle Magic' and the spatial title tune. but ‘Up From The Skies' is a jazzy trio romp, featuring Hendrix's bluesy, vocalised wah-wah pedal. And on the ballads ‘Little Wing' and ‘Castles Made Of Sand', Hendrix shifts the focus from the band to the silvery chord / melody accompaniments he often employed to complement his vocals. they are an orchestral effect unto themselves.
