<p>I'm either going to the late 70's or the early 80's after I'm done with the 60's. Not sure how many more weeks this will run.</p>

<p>I can't remember, if I've heard this album before? Many of the tracks, I've heard countless of times, either on the radio, the TV or on my double Best Of-CD.</p>
<p>There's no reason to go through each and every track, so..</p>
<p>Love Or Confusion is the first track, that tells me, I probably haven't heard this album before?!</p>
<p>I can't remember ever hearing it. Is it good? Nah. Do I like Hendrix? Nah.</p>
<p>May This Be Love, I haven't heard before either. That very thick late 60's…</p>

<p>May This Be Love, I haven't heard before either. That very thick late 60's sound to Henrix is a turn of for me. I remember hearing that sound at the time, around 1970, because my oldest sister and my cousin, who was 10 years older than me, listened to Hendrix, and it reminds me of ugly, dirty, spotty teenagers, who smoked funny stuff. It's still a noise to me, that doesn't appeal to me.....</p>
<p>And then I don't live today starts to play, and it's a good riff, and again, I'm in doubt, if I eventually will see the light, and be a fan? I'm not a fan of Hendrix's voice. Too groovy, man!! I'm sure, he can play guitar, but....then play, for gods sake, and don't make that awefull noise!!! I doubt, I ever will be a fan!!</p>
<p>Third Stone From The sun is the only track on side two, I haven't heard 100 times, and it's a throwaway accustic number. I HAVE heard it before, though.</p>
<p>The tracks on this album, that I DO know (and hate..no, I'm kidding), are obviously a big part of rock'n'roll history, and I can listen to them once in a while, but that groovy voice makes it a bit hard for me to listen. And the NOISE!!! God damn NOISE!!!! And the AWEFULL late 60's production!!!!!</p>
<p>The 3 bonus tracks adds nothing to the above. I don't think, I've ever heard them. They are a bit more laid-back than the other tracks, but that shouldn't be a surprise, since they are bonus-tracks.</p>
<p>I wouldn't mind reading a nice book about Hendrix, and I think, that in a year or so, Mick Wall, who probably is my favorite rock-jounalist, will release a book about Hendrix. I don't know, if I'm looking forward to it, but I'll give it a try.</p>
<p>But keep it up, with these classic albums, RJ, only maybe start up in the 70's soon? Friggin Hippies!!!!</p>

<p>Do I own this? Yes. On CASSETTE. Thought I had it on CD, but guess not. But at least I own it.</p>
<p>I don't see how anyone could not like this album. It's a classic, period. Not a bad song on the whole album.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Someone needs to take a week or two off. Or maybe they're just getting old.</p>

<p>Heres my original thoughts... I will respond to these with any differing thoughts...</p>
<p>----------------------------</p>
<p>Not sure why I was expecting more of a harder rock edge, but was surprised at how bluesy this is. In a good way! Hey Joe is my favorite track but of those that I am not familiar with, I really enjoyed Third Stone From The Sun for its melodicness mixed with (dare I say) jazz/prog? And then I Don't Live Today for its fun geetar work.</p>

<p>I reserve comment on the radio played tunes as they still get considerable attention on Classic Rock radio.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The bonus tracks weren't bad either. Red House has a Clapton feel to it, even though the tempo is much slower there's something Crossroadsy about it. Listen close. Can You See Me has Who feel to it, really cool tune! Remember is playful. These 3 bonus track are really good! Why were these not included originally? </p>

<p>My bad. Probably won't be the last time I screw up. Maybe it's just time for me to retire from the feature.</p>
