JIMI HENDRIX: Esce un nuovo album, l’ottavo postumo, di Jimi Hendrix, il leggendario chitarrista americano morto circa 40 anni fa. "Valleys Of Neptunes", un documento sonoro che ci riporta al periodo cruciale del 1969 con 12 tracce, sarà disponibile dall’8 Marzo 2010, come annunciato da Experience Hendrix LLC e Legacy Recordings di Sony Music Entertainment.
Oltre 60 minuti di musica mai resa disponibile commercialmente su un album di Jimi Hendrix che offre una visione avvincente e inedita di Jimi Hendrix fra la pubblicazione di "Electric Ladyland" nell’Ottobre 1968 e il 1970 quando aprì i suoi Electric Lady Studios al Greenwich Village dove avrebbe realizzato "First Rays Of The New Rising Sun".
“Mio fratello Jimi si sentiva a casa quando era in studio – dice Janie Hendrix -. Valleys Of Neptune offre uno sguardo nel profondo del processo di registrazione e dimostra il fatto che lui fosse un impareggiabile innovatore come chitarrista. La sua genialità risplende attraverso ognuna di questa preziose canzoni”. Il nuovo missaggio è curato da Eddie Kramer, l’ingegnere storico di Hendrix, che lavorò con il chitarrista nel 1967 per "Are You Experienced?".
Tra i brani le cover di Bleeding Heart (di Elmore James) e di Sunshine Of Your Love (Cream) e brani di Hendrix come Ships Passing Through The Night, Lullaby For The Summer e Hear My Train A Comin’, Mr. Bad Luck.
Previsti anche bonus,riedizioni in vinile e dvd con le interviste ai membri degli Experience Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, con il produttore Chas Chandler e l’ingegnere del suono Eddie Kramer. "Live At Woodstock" sarà disponibile sia in dvd che in Blu-ray Disc.
