Quick Facts Both Sides of the Sky, Compilation album by Jimi Hendrix ...

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

In a review for AllMusic, Sean Westergaard gave the album a rating of 3.5 stars out of five.[3] He notes 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

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.
