List of songs recorded by Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix was an American guitarist and singer-songwriter whose career spanned from 1962 to 1970. This list includes songs that he recorded as a group leader or a solo artist from October 1966 to September 1970[1] that have been officially released in various formats.[lower-alpha 1] They are issued in the name of his group, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and in his own name (although sometimes referred to by the names of his interim groups, Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, Band of Gypsys, or the Cry of Love touring band).[3][4]
Of the more than 180 individual titles listed, Hendrix wrote all, except for about 36 (band members Noel Redding, Buddy Miles, Mitch Mitchell, and Larry Lee are credited with six songs; Bob Dylan accounts for four). About 61 were issued between December 1966 to September 1970[5] and over 119 have been released subsequently. Many of the posthumous releases are live recordings and alternate versions of songs already issued; several are demos, works in progress, and jams that Hendrix may or may not have completed.[6][lower-alpha 2]
