Members Will Chen Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm not holding my breath. Either these will be demo quality rough copies of songs or tracks finished posthumous neither which I'm too excited about. Also, this deal has been put together by Janie Hendrix. The same woman responsible for the Hendrix signature guitar from Gibson leading me to believe this is nothing but a money grab... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ancient Mariner Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 You're right about the money-grab I'm sure, although it *might* still sound good. I have a *Hendrix* album cobbled together from various live recordings, and frankly only a stoned person could appreciate it. Very not cool.

The late musician's half-sister is overseeing the release of a 'new' album of previously unreleased material.Remember, she was behind the Gibson Hendrix signature guitar too.

Members BydoEmpire Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 I picked up "Burning Desire" last year and it was pretty cool. A bunch of studio takes, lots of loose jamming, but it was still cool and the sound quality was better than a lot of the bootleg-style stuff that came out years ago ("Hear My Music" and "The Natural Collection"). Not something I listen to all the time, but I enjoy it. This sounds similar, but a little more song-focusses. It's not going to be "First Rays of the New Rising Sun," don't expect anythign too polished, but for Hendrix buffs it could be a cool listen. Thanks for the link! Nice to see Eddie Kramer and Billy Cox are involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members csm Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 Official press releases are cobbled together by PR folks whose job it is to make even the most unpalatable dreck sell, so I'll wait for clips... Nevertheless, at least the tracks are of legitimate provenance, and Eddie Kramer (Hendrix's fave engineer) has given them a thorough wash and brush-up. Obviously, we'll have to hear them to know whether they're great or not, but I think it's safe to assume that they're not badly-recorded bootleg dreck.

Members symphonictank Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 sounds like a partial remix of the "Midnight Lightning" album (part of which I liked). I wonder if "3 little bears" will be on it too...LOL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thick_mike Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 I have really low expectations of this (law of diminishing returns and all that). For someone who had a recording career (of his own) of around 3/4 years, I think his studio output was stellar (Experienced, Axis and Ladyland). I went through the Hendrix is God and I must buy everything phase and ended up with 50 or so albums. There is some REAL {censored} out there. I'd say you could buy the 3 above albums plus Cry of Love, Jimi Hendrix Concerts, Soundtrack of the Jimi Hendrix documentary film, Jimi plays Monterey and Radio One Sessions and not be missing out on much else. To think those recordings came from 3/4 years is amazing, but I can hear the bottom of the barrel being scraped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members csm Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 ^^^^^^^ Well, I wouldn't want to be without Band Of Gypsys ... it got Beeg Fonk, it features Machine Gun and and, just for the record, it was Miles Davis's favourite Hendrix album.
