Seattle Times
Nearly 40 years after Jimi Hendrix’s death, the estate of the legendary Seattle-born guitarist will release an album it says contains never-before-heard music. Called “Valleys of Neptune,” the album will become available March 9 and will feature some of Hendrix’s final studio recordings. Experience Hendrix last year announced a licensing deal with Sony Music for his master recordings and under the new deal, Sony’s Legacy Recordings will also reissue deluxe editions in March of the core catalog — “Are You Experienced,” “Axis: Bold As Love,” “Electric Ladyland,” and “First Rays of the New Rising Sun.” The bonus material includes a DVD featuring interviews with band members Noel Redding and Billy Cox.
