The other selections vary from inspired ("Hear My Train a Comin’," recorded in early 1969 with the original Jimi Hendrix Experience lineup, and a solo "Midnight Lightning") to straight ahead jams, with Hendrix’ imaginative virtuosity and affinity for the blues evident. The fine Earl King cover "Come On (Let the Good Times Roll)" (from Electric Ladyland) is the only other song that came out in Hendrix’ lifetime. "Red House" and "Voodoo Chile" are by far the most celebrated tracks here. This release works as a fine grouping of some of Hendrix’ bluesiest recordings for those listeners who want to plunge especially deep into one facet of his repertoire.
There is a previous compilation of Hendrix’ blues-oriented work in 1994, simply titled Blues, but very little of that material is repeated on this release.
