The Cry of Love is an album by guitar legend Jimi Hendrix. It was the first posthumous Hendrix album released by Reprise Records. Mitch Mitchell led the project to create what would have been Jimi Hendrix' fourth studio album and selected songs from studio session tapes recorded prior to Hendrix' death in September 1970. All songs on the album were written by Hendrix and were all new material. Experience member Mitch Mitchell's involvement gave the album credibility and it was well received by fans and critics alike. The album shot to number 3 on Billboard's album chart and is regarded as the best of the posthumous Hendrix albums released by Reprise Records. The song Freedom (backed with Angel) was released as a single and was a minor hit in 1971, but has since become a staple of every Hendrix collection.
