This compilation just misses being the perfect
single-CD Jimi Hendrix anthology, and it's a crying shame
because it comes so close. Its main virtue is that, in contrast

to Smash Hits -- the only compilation of Hendrix's work approved by the artist -- it extends its reach
past 1968. The last of the tracks come from the abortive First Rays of the New Rising Sun album, left
unfinished at the time of his death, and show off a more R&B and soul-oriented sound than Hendrix
was generally known for -- and are worth the price of the disc by themselves. In fact, some of these cuts
recall Hendrix's history with the Isley Brothers, but done his way, with the range of sounds that he was
generating in 1970. The disc concludes with the obligatory live version of "The Star Spangled Banner"
from Woodstock, which is of massive historical and cultural importance. Where it falls short is by
leaving out "Can You See Me," "Manic Depression," and "Remember," which are on Smash Hits -- it's
a pity because the presence of two of those cuts (which, in fairness, can be found on Are You
Experienced?) would make this compilation perfect in most respects.
