Are You Experienced? The Jimi Hendrix Experience released its first album in early 1967. Popular music had been leaning towards psychedelics for a couple years already and Are You Experienced? came out at about the same time as the Beatles" Sergeant Pepper"s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Are You Experienced? far exceeded the Beatles" triumph in complexity, capturing the essence of the late 1960"s culture. Naturally the newer band did not share the immediate success of the Beatles. But its staying power has been testified to by several generations. The British version of Are You Experienced? contained a few subtle differences....
they are and comes to a natural conclusion. Obviously a case of supreme intelligence. Anyone who is trying to master guitar effects should start and end here.

You"re so foxy, you probably think this song is about you, don"t you? You"re not being paranoid. You are just a "Foxey Lady." And you make me feel like saying "Foxey".

The album closes with the title song. Once again, Jimi wants to know, "Are You Experienced?" If your answer is no, you"ve been listening to the Hendrix singles. Buy this album and a pair of headphones. It won"t be long now.
