Released in 1971, The Cry Of Love was the first posthumous Jimi Hendrix album and remains one of the most respected releases assembled from the final recordings made before his untimely death in 1970. Produced by longtime collaborators Eddie Kramer and Mitch Mitchell, the album presents Hendrix moving in exciting new musical directions while retaining the extraordinary guitar work and songwriting that made him a legend.
Featuring classics such as Freedom, Ezy Ryder, Angel, and Night Bird Flying, the album is widely regarded by many fans as an essential part of the Hendrix catalogue rather than merely a posthumous compilation. It captures the artist during a period of rapid creative growth and provides a fascinating glimpse into the music he was developing for his unfinished fourth studio album.
