Are You Experienced is the debut studio album by English-American rock band the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Released in 1967, the LP was an immediate critical and commercial success, and it is widely regarded as one of the greatest debuts in the history of rock music. The album features Jimi Hendrixs innovative approach to songwriting and electric guitar playing which soon established a new direction in psychedelic and hard rock music. In 2005, Rolling Stone ranked Are You Experienced fifteenth on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. They placed four songs from the album on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time: Purple Haze (17), Foxy Lady (153), Hey Joe (201), and The Wind Cries Mary (379). That same year, the record was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress in recognition of its cultural significance to be added to the National Recording Registry. Writer and archivist Rueben Jackson of the Smithsonian Institution wrote: its still a landmark recording because it is of the rock, R&B, blues musical tradition. It altered the syntax of the music in a way I compare to James Joyces Ulysses. Music critics widely regard Are You Experienced as one of the greatest debut albums in the history of rock and roll. An immediate commercial success, within seven months of its release it had sold more than one million copies. This is the Sony Legacy 2013 re-mastered release of this iconic recording.
