The one hundred thirteenth album: Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
After enjoying the previous Jimi Hendrix entry on the list, I had half forgotten what this was like by the time I got to it - life's been busy, delays happened, and an extra length album can be harder to fit into my days. Yet listening to it now, it's clear that what struck me before is there. A bluesy rock, the album has several long songs that let the improvisation stand and improve, as well as a number of standard length tracks. There are the psychedelic influences, but again in a way that enhance the song rather than dominating, and it turns into a slow journey through that stays quite gentle. This might well be one of my favourite albums so far, something I wouldn't have expected before starting this list.
