Released as a double album, Electric Ladyland is a cross-section of Jimi Hendrix's wide range of musical talent. It includes examples of several genres and styles of music: the psychedelic "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", previously a UK single in the summer of 1967; the extended blues jam "Voodoo Chile"; the New Orleans-style R&B of Earl King's "Come On"; the epic studio production of "1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)"; the social commentary of "House Burning Down"; and the Sixties-era Britpop of Noel Redding's "Little Miss Strange". The album also features an electric reworking of the Bob Dylan classic "All Along the Watchtower", which has been well received by critics as well as by Dylan himself, and also "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", a staple of both radio and guitar repertoire.

| - Electric Ladyland is the third and final studio album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, released on October 16th, 1968 in the United States, and October 25th, 1968 in the United Kingdom. Ladyland was a breakthrough album for Hendrix, as it was the first opportunity he got to produce an album to his liking, as opposed to relying on Chas Chandler and/or Eddie Kramer as before. As such, many experimental studio effects were employed, as well as a mass of guest musicians, including Traffic members Steve Winwood, Chris Wood and Dave Mason, as well as drummer Buddy Miles and bassist Jack Cassady. The album contained a range of music genres, including pop ("Little Miss Strange"), jazz ("Rainy Day, Dream Away"), blues ("1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)"), and classic Hendrix-esque hard rock ("Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"). The album also contains two covers of classic rock songs - Earl King's "Come On (Let the Good Times Roll)" and Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower". The album is seen as the strongest proof of Hendrix's mastery of the electric guitar, and is often cited as one of the greatest and most influential rock albums of all time. The Experience released three singles from the album in the UK: "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", "All Along the Watchtower" and "Crosstown Traffic", and three more singles were released posthumously at various times on various labels: "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", "Gypsy Eyes" and "Rainy Day, Dream Away". "All Along the Watchtower" and "Crosstown Traffic" were also released in the US.
- Electric Ladyland is the third and final studio album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and the only one of the band's LPs that was produced by Jimi Hendrix. Released on October 25, 1968, on Reprise Records, by mid-November it had reached number one in the US, where it spent two weeks at the top spot. The double LP was the Experience's most commercially successful release and their only number one album. It peaked at number six in the UK, where it spent 12 weeks on the chart. Electric Ladyland included a cover of Bob Dylan's song, "All Along the Watchtower", which became the Experience's highest-selling single and their only top 40 hit in the US, peaking at number 20; the single reached number five in the UK. The album also included Hendrix's first recorded song to feature the use of a wah-wah pedal, "Burning of the Midnight Lamp", which reached number 18 in the UK charts. In 1989, Noe Goldwasser, the founding editor of Guitar World magazine, described Electric Ladyland as "Hendrix's masterpiece". According to author Michael Heatley, "most critics agree" that the album is "the fullest realization of Jimi's far-reaching ambitions." In 2004, author Peter Doggett commented: "For pure experimental genius, melodic flair, conceptual vision and instrumental brilliance, Electric Ladyland remains a prime contender for the status of rock's greatest album." Doggett described the LP as "a display of musical virtuosity never surpassed by any rock musician." Electric Ladyland has been featured on many greatest album lists, including a number 10 ranking on Classic Rock UK's list of 100 Greatest Rock Albums Ever and number 37 on The Times'100 Best Albums of All Time. In 2003, the TV network VH1 ranked it as the 72nd greatest album of all-time, and in 2005, Q magazine readers voted it number 38. In 2005, Rolling Stone ranked it the 55th greatest album of all time.
