This tribute compilation reflects the many sides of Jimi Hendrix's sound, as well as the wide-reaching influence it continues to have on contemporary music. Unlike a typical, rock-based tribute, a wide range of jazz, rap, country, pop and gospel acts add their special touch to Hendrix's songs. Los Illegals' "Little Wing" and Los Lobos' "Are You Experienced" add a spicy, Latin flair to the proceedings, while Cassandra Wilson's version of "Angel" and the Blind Boys of Alabama's take on "Drifting" delve deeper into Hendrix's soulful, spiritual side. Laurie Anderson and Chuck D contemporize the settings of "1983" and "Freedom," reflecting the album's political consciousness. Other artists paying tribute on Searching for Jimi Hendrix include Taylor Dayne, Charlie Musselwhite, Roseanne Cash, Mark Isham and Neville & Sheena Staples. An inventive collection that builds on Hendrix's legend instead of merely praising it. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
