| Formed in 1995 by the family of the legendary guitarist, Experience Hendrix has earned wide praise for its restoration of the Jimi Hendrix catalog and efforts to expand the legacy of one of popular music's greatest artists. Janie Hendrix, president and CEO of Experience Hendrix, remains steadfast in efforts to protect the guitarist's legacy. "We will continue to safeguard Jimi's incredible musical legacy as best as we can, making it available to fans with the best possible quality." As a result of this unique focus on expanding Hendrix's profile, interest in Jimi Hendrix remains at an all-time high. The Experience Hendrix DVD release, Jimi Plays Berkeley, debuted on the Billboard video chart at #9. Other releases by the company have enjoyed similar praise and commercial success. Rolling Stone called The Jimi Hendrix Experience, a four-CD box set issued in September 2000, "the Rolls Royce of box sets," and the Band Of Gypsys: Live At The Fillmore East earned a GRAMMY Award in 2000 for Best Long Form Music Video. The theatrical film Blue Wild Angel: Jimi Hendrix Live At The Isle Of Wight has enjoyed wide critical approval and was featured as part of the New York Film Festival at Lincoln Center. Songs include: Are You Experienced (Musiq), Spanish Castle Magic (Santana), Purple House (Prince), The Wind Cries Mary (Sting), Voodoo Chile [Slight Return] (Earth, Wind & Fire), Power Of Soul (Bootsy Collins featuring George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars), Burning of the Midnight Lamp (Eric Clapton), Have You Ever Been [To Electric Ladyland] (Lenny Kravitz), Who Knows (Devoted Spirits featuring George Duke), Purple Haze (Robert Randolph & The Family Band), Little Wing (Chaka Khan & Kenny Olson), Castles Made of Sand (Sounds of Blackness), May This Be Love (Eric Gales), Foxy Lady (Cee-Lo), Red House (John Lee Hooker), Little Wing/3rd Stone From The Sun (Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble).
| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Tributee: Jimi Hendrix. | | Unlike numerous rock-oriented tribute albums that have been released in Jimi Hendrix's memory, POWER OF SOUL focuses on the R&B/soul aspects of Hendrix's music. The artists range from Goodie Mob rapper Cee-Lo (sounding unrecognizable on a tasty version of "Foxy Lady") and Prince riding a funky wah-wah pedal on a renamed "Purple House" to Chaka Khan teaming with Kid Rock guitarist Kenny Olson on a heart-wrenching walk through "Little Wing." Sounds of Blackness work wonders on an uplifting "Castles Made of Sand," and neo-soul crooner Musiq growls new life into "Are You Experienced?" Equally notable is the supergroup of Carlos Santana, Corey Glover, Stanley Clarke, and Tony Williams, who groove solidly through "Spanish Castle Magic." The final cut, a previously unreleased live performance of "Little Wing/3rd Stone from the Sun" by the late Hendrix acolyte Stevie Ray Vaughan, is a fitting musical exclamation point. |
