The other selections vary from inspired ("Hear My Train a Comin'," recorded in early 1969 with the original Jimi Hendrix Experience lineup, and a solo "Midnight Lightning") to rather routine jams, though Hendrix's imaginative virtuosity and affinity for the blues is usually evident. In fact, the fine Earl King cover "Come On (Let the Good Times Roll)" (from Electric Ladyland) is the only other song that came out in Hendrix's lifetime. "Red House" and "Voodoo Chile" are by far the most celebrated tracks here, but the accent is on lesser-heard performances that first came out on other archival compilations.
There's little repetition between Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues and Blues, though, and it works as a decent grouping of some of his bluesiest recordings for those listeners who want to plunge especially deeply into one facet of his repertoire. Second, there was a previous compilation of Hendrix's blues-oriented work in 1994, simply titled Blues. First, the blues were just a part of Hendrix's musical mix, though an important one. A couple of considerations conspire to make this one of Hendrix's less essential releases.

As part of the numerous compilations issued in conjunction with the major television documentary series The Blues, this is a collection of blues-oriented Hendrix recordings.
