Jimi Hendrix

  I have no clue why this compilation exists, maybe it's just a label cash grab, it features a bunch of random numbers from Hendrix's career, from big hits to obscure tunes.  As much as he's a marvelous talent and the greatest guitarist of all-time, this album is way too laced with Jimi's heavier tracks, which are nice and all, but the continuous wild guitar solos can get taxing on the brain.  I personally prefer Hendrix's softer soulful side, which only came out from time to time, but I wish it were the focus of his career ... anyway this album seems to be pointless and I don't understand it's purpose!
