Both Sides of the Sky is a compilation album by Jimi Hendrix, released by Legacy Recordings and Experience Hendrix on March 9, 2018. The 13-track album, including ten previously unreleased recordings, were recorded with either the Jimi Hendrix Experience or the Band of Gypsys lineups, and features guest appearances from Stephen Stills, Johnny Winter and Lonnie Youngblood.[1]

The album is the third (and final) release in a trilogy of posthumously released "archival recordings" compilation albums highlighted as intended for a follow-up to Electric Ladyland (1968), starting with Valleys of Neptune (2010) and continuing with People, Hell and Angels (2013).[2]

Critical reception

[edit]

In a review for AllMusic, Sean Westergaard noted that some of the material had been previously released on bootlegs, "but the truly surprising thing about this collection is the amount of material even hardcore Hendrix collectors may not have heard yet".[3] Westergaard identifies the instrumental "Cherokee Mist", for which Hendrix plays an electric sitar, as an album highlight and concludes with "While a bit uneven in spots, Both Sides of the Sky is well worth it for an avid Hendrix fan."[3]

Track listing

[edit]

All songs recorded in New York City at the Record Plant Studios, except for "Sweet Angel" recorded at Olympic Studios in London.[2] All tracks were written by Jimi Hendrix, except where noted.
