Jimi Hendrix

For all who love and/or have family, friends, colleagues, or clients that love rock, get ready to re-experience Jimi Hendrix from the vault of studio and live tapes that were previously unreleased.

"Valley of Neptune, containing a dozen tracks will be released on March 9th to kick off Sony/Legacy's massive reissue campaign," as stated by Edna Gundersen of USA Today. His 11th studio album -- the eighth to be issued posthumously and first since 1980 -- includes studio recorded Mr. Bad Luck intended for 1968's Axis: Bold as Love release. Per Gundersen, also included is a frenzied Fire, the long-coveted title track; a sprawling cover of Cream's Sunshine of Your Love; and such re-tooled originals as Lover Man, Red House, and Crying Blue Rain. Along with his longtime engineer Eddie Kramer, we marvel at what Jimi Hendrix might have achieved had he not died at the young age of 27 in 1970.
