“Valleys of Neptune” comes out this week on Sony Legacy Recordings, part of a flurry of Hendrix-related goods hitting shelves this year as Sony and Experience Hendrix LLC, the local company run by Hendrix’s stepsister that manages his estate, commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Seattle-born guitarist’s death. Along with this record, reissues of his major albums, and a DVD documentary, a Hendrix-logoed iPod and Hendrix-themed “Rock Band” video game are reportedly set for release later in 2010. “Valleys of Neptune” is less a revelation than reminder: Jimi Hendrix still is and will forever be the coolest rock star of all time.
