Editorial Reviews

Jimi Hendrix's second album followed up his groundbreaking debut effort with a solid collection of great tunes and great interactive playing between himself, Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell, and the recording studio itself. Wisely choosing manager Chas Chandler to record the album, since he was in the midst of a creative hot streak, Hendrix stretched further musically than the first album, but even more so as a songwriter. He was still quite capable of coming up with spacy rockers like "You Got Me Floating," "Up From the Skies," and "Little Miss Lover," radio-ready to follow on the commercial heels of "Foxey Lady" and "Purple Haze." But the beautiful, wistful ballads "Little Wing," "Castles Made of Sand," "One Rainy Wish," and the title track set closer show remarkable growth and depth as a tunesmith, harnessing Curtis Mayfield soul guitar to Dylanesque lyrical imagery and Fuzz Face hyperactivity to produce yet another side to his grand psychedelic musical vision. These are tempered with Jimi's most avant-garde tracks yet, "EXP" and the proto-fusion jazz blowout of "If 6 Was 9." Cub Koda, All Music Guide

The second treasureby JohnQ

July 26, 2009: This is Jimi's second great album. It must be remembered that Jimi was a very young man and in this second album he began to reach for more than just 'hits'. He wanted to transcend the instruments to something higher. He never really reached the goal he was after, but his attempts are endlessly fascinating.

July 11, 2009: The band's sophomore release features great songwriting tunes like the early hard rock number "Spanish Castle Magic", the soulful ballads "Little Wing"/"One Rainy Wish", early funk-rock "You Got Me Floatin"/"Little Miss Lover", some avant-garde "EXP"/"If Six Was Nine", some jazz "Up From The Skies", psychedelic pop "She's So Fine" and check out the oriental inspired intro in "Castles Made Of Sand"; without a doubt one of Jimi's best songs ever!
