Hi there,
Sorry it's taken me so long to post - sometimes this blog is like my Twitter account, in that I really take it for granted and forget that it's there.
I just picked up the new Hendrix album Valleys of Neptune, and I have to admit that I'm surprised there was still unreleased material in the Hendrix vault - I thought his family had already posthumously released all of his B-sides, rare tracks and other previously unavailable live recordings years ago.
Some of the songs are songs you've probably heard before, but these are new arrangements. I have enjoyed the fresh takes on classics like "Stone Free," "Hear My Train A Comin'" and a nice extended instrumental cut of Cream's classic "Sunshine of Your Love."
The title track is probably the best of the new songs on this album, and will probably stick in your head after a few listens. The version I bought at Target also has two great bonus instrumental songs "Slow Version" and "Trash Man" (plus if you buy this album and any other Hendrix album at Target this week, they give you a $5 gift card for your next purchase).
