1001 Albums Summary

Constant surprises. Shifts from song to song in style and energy. Amazing.

Hard to really get a sense bc Apple Music kept putting it on shuffle and it’s definitely An Album. Different from other Jimi albums with which I’m more familiar in that it seemed to have a stronger connection to a funk/soul vibe as opposed to the solid blues roots of the Hendrix I expect (tho maybe I just listened to the same song over and over? Hard to say.) Regardless, the same intangible magical ability to turn every riff into something transcendent that comes with everything he does.

Some of the songs on here are 5s, no doubt. But I tend to lose the thread on others, esp. when Janis isn’t singing

Feelings music.
