The Jimi Hendrix Collection (aka Fire)

UK 20-track collection. There is no shortage of Jim Hendrix Best Of's, however Fire (released following ITV's use of the title song to promote the 2010 World Cup), does the job better than most. It includes classics such as "Foxy Lady", "Voodoo Child" and "Little Wing" from the late legend's three official albums, as well as some excellent post-humous material ("Angel", "Bleeding Heart", "Valleys of Neptune"). If you are a newcomer to Hendrix, this compilation is solid proof that from 1967-1970, Hendrix created some of the most thrilling, influential rock recorded. And not a single note sounds dated. Sony. 2010.
