'Are You Experienced' is the Perfect Debut Album

The debut album of the Jimi Hendrix Experience was an instant success for the band. With hits like the psychedelic 'Purple Haze' and the bluesy 'Red House', the album is filled with a wide range of musical genres.

With these psychedelic and bluesy sounds, the album has been regarded as one of the greatest guitar albums of all time. I would argue that 'Are You Experienced', equally showcases Hendrix's vocal skills, as his sensual and smooth tone can be heard throughout. The album marks the band's first use of overdubbing with the single 'The Wind Cries Mary' in lieu of retakes as a method of achieving a satisfactory track.

Featured on many a list of 'Greatest Albums of All Time', 'Are You Experienced' remains a historic album with a legacy unlike any other.
