The mix is dark and churning, a dense wall of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMitch Mitchell and Noel Redding blast away with a barely controlled fury, and there’s a distorted metallic edge to Hendrix’s guitar timbre that has made \u003cem\u003eAre You Experienced\u003c\/em\u003e a particular favourite among rock and heavy-metal guitarists. ‘Purple Haze‘ and ‘Foxey Lady‘ helped define the power-trio format, thanks to Hendrix’s full-bodied rhythm guitar and his soaring solos. \u003cem\u003eAre You Experienced\u003c\/em\u003e also established Hendrix as a singer-songwriter. His Dylanesque vocals and spacey imagery make each tune a little gem, especially on gentle outings such as the ballad ‘The Wind Cries Mary'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoxy Lady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManic Depression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan You See Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Or Confusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Live Today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay This Be Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThird Stone From The Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAre You Experienced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHey Joe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurple Haze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e51st Anniversary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wind Cries Mary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighway Chile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Experience Hendrix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54186704601434,"sku":"88691938902","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/jimi-hendrix-are-you-experienced.jpg?v=1779448653","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/jimi-hendrix-experience-are-you-experienced-cd","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
