The final artist in this week's genre of
psychedelic music is my all-time favorite artist Jimi Hendrix. It’s impossible
to think of all the music this artist could have produced and even more amazing
is the music he did in only four short years in the public eye. Without a doubt
he is the best guitar player of all time and the sounds that he can make with a
guitar are outstanding.
I would suggest you buy all his albums since he had
only put out four in his life, and especially Electric Ladyland. This album
incorporates two of my favorite songs, Voodoo Child and All Along the Watch Tower,
which shows off his guitar playing and his very poetic lyrics. I would also
suggest for anyone who hasn’t heard it yet to listen to his rendition of the
Star Spangled Banner and listen how he can portray an antiwar message during
Woodstock by playing his guitar to sound like bomber planes.
I give Jimi Hendrix 5 stars for a multitude of
reasons. First is the fact that his music has stayed this strong for so long
after his death that people my age can still appreciate it is amazing. Second
was his strict musical talent is incredible and that a sound like his is
impossible to replicate. Finally is the fact he produced such great music, made
political and social impacts, and influenced many artists after him in a such a
small time period. Future artists should strive to produce music like Jimi's
and try to keep pace with this 27 club legend.
