The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland

The Jimi Hendrix Experience — Electric Ladyland

Celebrating the music legend's 80th birthday!

No. 1 album in the U.S.

Includes the Bob Dylan song "All Along the Watchtower"

Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. in partnership with Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, is releasing Electric Ladyland this November 2025, on Blu-ray Audio.

Electric Ladyland is the third and final studio album by English-American rock band the Jimi Hendrix Experience, released in October 1968 by Reprise Records. The double album was the only record from the band produced by Jimi Hendrix. By mid-November, it had charted at No. 1 in the United States, where it spent two weeks at the top spot. Electric Ladyland was the Experience's most commercially successful release and their only No. 1 album. It peaked at No. 6 in the U.K., where it spent 12 weeks on the chart. Electric Ladyland included a cover of the Bob Dylan song, "All Along the Watchtower," which became the Experience's highest-selling single and their only Top 40 hit in the U.S., peaking at No. 20; the single reached No. 5 in the U.K.

During the Electric Ladyland recording sessions, Hendrix began experimenting with other combinations of musicians, including Jefferson Airplane's Jack Casady and Traffic's Steve Winwood, who played bass and organ respectively on the 15-minute slow-blues jam, "Voodoo Chile." During the album's production, Hendrix appeared at an impromptu jam with B.B. King, Al Kooper, and Elvin Bishop. Electric Ladyland was released in October 1968, and by mid-November it had reached No. 1 in the U.S., spending two weeks at the top spot. The album was the Experience's most commercially successful release and their only No. 1 album. It peaked at No. 6 in the U.K., spending 12 weeks on the chart. Although it confounded critics upon its release, Electric Ladyland has since been viewed as Hendrix's best work and one of the greatest rock albums of all time.
