Psychedelic Rock Rock
A brief but beautiful highlight from The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s 1967 album Axis: Bold as Love, “Little Wing” captures Hendrix’s tender, poetic side. In under 3 minutes, he conjures a dreamy soundscape with imaginative lyrics and one of his most lyrical guitar solos, rich with shimmering vibrato. Never released as a single, the song still became a favorite among musicians and was covered by guitar greats like Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan. To this day, “Little Wing” is cherished as one of Hendrix’s most delicate and soulful creations.
