Jimi Hendrix. Dead For 40 Years. New Album Out In March.

No, he’s not been brought back by voodoo, cryogenics or the sheer power of riff. Hendrix recorded a number of tracks with engineer Eddie Kramer in London in ‘69 that have since been sitting in a vault.

Kramer has since got his hands on the recordings and has spent the last year remastering them with state of the art technology. (If anything gets autotuned I’m getting stabby.)

The album Valleys Of Neptune (Neptune is a gas giant, so doesn’t have valleys, if you’re a massive pedant like me) should be out on March 9th.

As we have no idea how much of these recordings survived, or how much was actually recorded there can be no telling if this will be a blues rock masterwork or someone trying to turn a tune up session into an actual piece of music. We can but hope.
