The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Jimi Hendrix was one of the greatest musicians of all time. His success, influence, and legacy is undoubtedly immense. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Through his incredible talent and innovative musicianship, Hendrix was able to revolutionize music in countless ways. He mainly focused on blues and the new psychedelic sound, getting into the psychedelic/heavy metal "stoner" style. Other stoner acts include Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd. The Experience was his backing group. They performed with him at the Monterey International Pop Festival of 1967 and the legendary Woodstock Music and Art Festival of 1969, including a famous performance of the Star Spangled Banner. They were inducted their first year of eligibility, a painfully obvious choice. Hendrix had a major influence on blues musician Lenny Kravitz.
