As rock nyc youngest writer, Mary Magpie, recently noted, there are reasons why some people consider Jimi Hendrix the greatest guitarist ever.
I personally think Are You Experience? is the great rock album of all time.
However, he died 30 years before Mary was born and when you are dead that long and all your relics have done is mine your music, the question is how many rarities can there be left?
There will always be completists who want everything concert Hendrix ever actually recorded -the same way there is for the Dead or Miles Davis.
But as Valleys Of Neptune proved -this is the same old same old. So now the estate if releasing the first three albums (but no Band Of Gypsies) plus stuff like the BBC Recordings (which are awesome by the way -though we already own them) more from Woodstock (geez -it puts Dylan to shame for recycling).
Yup, folks. Moldy oldies.
If there is anything new in the vaults, why don’t they release it before we all die?
