Above, Jimi Hendrix with drummer Buddy Miles.The Los Angeles Times reported today that Sony Music Entertainment has signed an agreement with Experience Hendrix, run by step-sister Janie Hendrix to release a 'new' album of Jimi Hendrix recordings (predominately from 1969) this coming March.
The Times reported:
With the exception of James Dean, who made only three films, there might be no pop-culture icon who has done more with less than the late Jimi Hendrix. The ultimate guitar hero released just three studio albums before his death in 1970, but new generations of music fans keep plugging into his amplified legacy.
The volume of Hendrix's music is about to get turned up.
Today, the Hendrix estate and Sony Music Entertainment will announce the March 9 release of a "new" Hendrix album, "Valleys of Neptune," which will feature a dozen unreleased recordings.
Some of the material has been floating around in poorly-made bootlegs. According to sources close to the project, this material will be sounding great.
