The Cry of Love
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work
The Cry of Love · This was the first album to appear after the death of Jimi Hendrix, on 5 March 1971, half a year after his death. It consists mainly of tracks he recorded in 1970 at his new Electric Lady Studios in New York, with the drummer Mitch Mitchell and the bassist Billy Cox, for a planned fourth studio record. About half were nearly finished. The rest was mixed after his death and sometimes touched up by the engineer Eddie Kramer and Mitchell.
Ten tracks were chosen, including Freedom, Ezy Ryder, Angel and In from the Storm. Straight Ahead and My Friend replaced two tracks that were kept back for a later release. Hendrix had had a double album in mind, but this became a single record. Critics saw it as an impressive tribute. The album reached the charts in both countries and was certified platinum in America in 1998.
