AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE was the follow-up to ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?, and represented a much more conscious use of the recording studio’s possibilities. Where his live shows continued to showcase the raw rocking power of the Experience, the recording studio gave Hendrix the composer/arranger a broader palette. There are still plenty of powerful blues/rock-inflected songs, such as the menacing “If 6 Was 9”, the rolling “Spanish Castle Magic” and the spatial title tune. But “Up From The Skies” is a jazzy trio romp, featuring Hendrix’s bluesy, vocalised wah-wah pedal. And on the ballads “Little Wing” and “Castles Made Of Sand”, Hendrix shifts the focus from the band to the silvery chord/melody accompaniments he often employed to complement his vocals. They are an orchestral effect unto themselves.
