My favorite Jimi Hendrix album. Jimi's songwriting reached new poetic heights and his guitar sounds like it comes from another spiritual realm. "If Six Was Nine", "Castles Made of Sand", "Spanish Castle Magic" & "Little Wing" are beautiful and will blow your mind. Axis: Bold as Love is truly a psychedelic masterpiece!

@@dailyflashYou're missing some truth. Despite noel frowning on Jimi suggested bass lines for riffs. Noel and Mitch were Jimi's tightest musicians (with Jimi) When 'band of gypsies' became Jimi's new band, Jimi's immediate people from begining noticed loose formula. The band of gypsies wasn't tight like 'the experience'. Jimi Hendrix would pull tricks on noel and Mitch live, but Mitch and Noel put effort into keeping it together tight. Everything Jimi did on film with noel and Mitch either sucks or mediocre. Some of band of gypsies film is better. But most people don't know 'the experience. There is some live recordings with noel and Mitch captures how unexpected tight, brilliant The experience is. I don't even like 'Hey joe' but theres a recording guitar player magazine released on compilation called (60s guitarist who ruled the world?) I forget title but live version of hey Joe is best I've heard Hendrix play hey Joe, Hendrix starts with bass line and changes up on rhythm dynamics, noel and Mitch almost miss it actually land on their feet. Incredible finesse, intricacy. Jimis tone is leathery hide mammoth thick heavy. Hendrix makes good use triad E maj at begining ahead of the game. The thing with billy cox is isle of wight. Somewhere during last two songs isle of wight. Hendrix gives billy 'heads up' it's very clear on film, once you find it. Hendrix is tired and wants to sit back next to Mitch on drums. (Hendrix is gives eye contact to billy cox to take over front stage for minute. (Hey billy, come up front and show you're stuff) Billy standard next to Mitch is looking at Hendrix (playing bass chewing gum 100 miles hr) doesn't want to leave his spot next to Mitch. Billys uncomfortable playing up front. Hendrix looks down sad for moment and continues, then ends the show. There were occasions when noel and Mitch on stage playing without Jimi. Noel has NO problem taking over for moment. Hendrix wasnt delinquent about performing. When band of gypsies started playing, their were complaints from females in audiance. Women were asking where are the two cute white boys? Ha LMAO!

This is from the liner notes to the Hendrix Blues collection put out by MCA in the mid-90s. Jimi's part-Cherokee/Irish grandmother, Nora Rose Moore, lived to one hundred years. She claimed to have seen everything in her lifetime. "I've seen slavery and I've seen Jimi Hendrix perform," said Nora Rose, "that about covers it."

When I was 11, decades ago, I discovered this album because my great aunt and uncle who were definitely flower children back when it came out had a big record collection of all the good 60s and early 70s rock, and this cover immediately struck me upon first seeing it. I remember sitting in her room listening to the vinyl on headphones, and this was a pivotal album in me discovering music, rock, and also for making me want to play guitar. Seems like a lifetime ago but I still am captivated by this record and Jimi. Wait until tomorrow and castles in the sand are my favs.

The stuff that has come out (outakes and live) since his death is mind-boggling. Such a gifted musician who also had greatness around him. Oh, what would have been if he'd only been able to make it out of his 20s. On another note, very much looking forward to next week's album. Gonna get interesting, for sure.

"Up From The Skies" features Hendrix's first use of the Wa-wa pedal, making it one the world's first Wha solos! The title track, "Bold As Love", is my all-time favorite Hendrix. The interplay of Jimi's rhythm/lead guitar, his vocal, and the lyrics on the opening verse is astounding! HINT: The long ending fades very gradually. Turn the volume way up on the last few seconds; the lead guitar is amazing!

There's also a fantastic version from the Dominoes' Fillmore East performances in October 1970, a month after Jimi died, and you can hear how much that had affected Eric, and he literally plays out of his skin on that. Mind you, if you're working with material like that you have to put everything into it, and you can hear how he felt about Jimi's passing; "I felt like the loneliest person on Earth".

A friend found a box of late-‘60s records in the basement of an apartment building in San Francisco. He let me take a third because I had come out there to help him move back to Austin. ‘Axis: Bold As Love’ was one I got. And Dylan’s ‘John Wesley Harding’, ‘Music From Big Pink’, ‘Disraeli Gears’, ….. I love this record. The stereo swings back and forth, all left to all right on “EXP” and “Bold As Love” especially, but it’s fun. My favorite Jimi song is still “Little Wing”. I know that’s not very original, but what’s better? It’s perfect.

When did Jimi ever bite the heads off bats? That was Ozzy's gig! Stereo was invented at least back in the `50's. I seem to recall that they were actually dicking around with it back in the `40's or possibly even the late `30's. Most psych albums were intended for mono play, stereo was just kind of a last minute remix type thing for a good many of them. I can never keep straight (between flanging and phase shifting) which is which, at least not without hearing examples of both but, one of them was discovered by accident back in the late `50's, possibly the very early `60's. There was a record by Toni Fisher called, "The Big Hurt" that was the first to ever use it but, it was completely accidental and unintentional but, once she and her husband (the owner of their label, Signet records) heard it, they thought it was pretty cool and kept it. He was just trying to double or boost her vocals a bit by running two tracks of her vocals side by side but ever so slightly off (it's now called, ADT (automatic double tracking)) and, because the two tape recorders ran at a very slightly different speed, they ended up with that phase shifting sound every so often. Sorry but, Bill Bruford's the best drummer that's ever been. Well, no, "If 6 Was 9" is Jimi saying, let me be who I am and stop trying to tell me I HAVE to look, act and sound like you just to fit in. The hippy movement is still here, it didn't die the first time until the late `70's when disco took over and then it came back to life in the early `80's for at least a short time but has never actually died off since then. There's still LOTS of modern bands (as well as older ones from the late `60's) making new psych albums and LOTS of people still collecting loads of psych from the `60's! You'd be amazed how many records from that era are now worth a small fortune!!

Hi Abigail, I've just discovered your channel with this video, awesome! I have a bit extra insight about the album cover: there's at least one biography showing that he made a rough sketch of what he wanted, basically he made a Christian Cross made up of faces: his was in the center, and in all four directions were faces of famous historical figures of all ethnicities (one way, the whites, in which there was Hitler and Jesus too, another way the Asians, with Buddha too, and the other two ways I can't remember but I'd guess African Blacks and Asian Indians or Japanese). This should've represented all the influences he had, which of course made him who he is one way or another. Hope you enjoyed this little fact!

Crazy news about the cover design confusion! We always learn something new on Vinyl Monday! Hendrix is my hardest memory trip because the first time I saw him play was under fireworks on the 4th of July, 1970 at the Atlanta International Pop Festival (see 'Electric Church' documentary) and the second time was a few weeks later at a free stage near Tampa Bay where he just showed up and plugged in with a local band and it stormed at sunset and the sky went red and yellow and silver with lightning behind and above the covered stage, and they played on for a hundred or so lucky souls trippin' in the rain, then it was like lightning struck twice when he was gone only a few weeks later...

Stopped about 26 minutes in and played side 1 of a 1970s pressing.of Axis and really listened. Hendrix was progressing so quickly in '67 that his band released this only months after his debut. Stands out as a snapshot of Jimi's efforts that led to EL a year later. I love this lp. The effects and attention to details on these songs are way ahead of AYE. Redding is good, he's just not great like Mitchell. Really a product of its time in the best ways. Highly recommended on vinyl.

Thanks for covering some of my favorite albums. Especially this one.. You're right, Noel was an amazing unsung bass beast. Axis was burned into my brain many years ago.

I came to Hendrix decades later than I should have. The name was celebrated over my shoulder as a kid and teen and I only associated it with messy, scratchy guitar playing. At the end of the '90s I used Napster to inform me of stuff I'd missed out on. If I liked it I'd buy it properly. When it came to Hendrix I thought Experienced was fine but I was frustrated by the early fade outs which made it sound like a hasty cash grab compilation. Next, I heard Ladyland which impressed me with the strength of the composition that took the name from expert noodler to writer. For some reason I heard the second one last and for some other reason it became my favourite. The overall confidence of the playing and arrangements (plus some cheeky production ideas) might have been enough but Castles and Little Wing just won me over. It's still my favourite Hendrix. Thanks for this celebration and some startling background anecdotes. I'll be listening to it, today.

"Little Wing" should have been at least 5 to 10 minutes longer and it would have been the greatest song of all time (for me anyway)!!

I am so happy to see this video. Not only is your knowledge of the music and its history impressive, but your love of this music comes gushing through. I'm old, I mean old enough to have seen Jimi Hendrix twice, once in 1968 and once in 1970, about a month before he died. There will never be another Jimi Hendrix. Thanks, Abigail for bringing back the memories, as bitter-sweet as they may be.

For a long time I considered this my favorite album, so much so that my New Year’s tradition included listening to this album right after midnight to start the new year right. It’s waned on my list after some time (still probably in the top 20-ish or so) but I performed my little ritual after some time for the last hour of New Year’s Eve as way to send off a personal great (at times trying) year.

I’m so glad I found your channel! You’re so cool. I’m 16 and I’ve just gotten into records but I feel stupid not knowing the history. Thank you❣️

To follow up the mega hit are you experienced with this stunning follow up the same year is just amazing and just how powerful and influential Jimi Hendrix and the experience would be on future musicians in just 2 albums in the same year is brilliant

Still watching, but, awesome video. I'm learning a lot and you're alluding to a lot more Hendrix lore that I don't know about

I knew about the masters being misplaced. Had no idea how they were misplaced. You, Abigail made this review so cool to watch!

I think Axis is my favorite Jimi album. I had no idea that the cover was not liked by Jimi. It's too bad his vision for the cover didn't happen. The story about the masters is crazy too. I always thought they just re-recorded it. Its pretty hilarious to me that Jimi is taking the master out to play for friends at parties. If 6 Was 9 is probably my favorite on the album and lyrically has similar vibes as Five To One by The Door, which I also love though Five To One is more confrontational. The themes of rebellion and anti-establishment that were a big part of the 60's.
