I have been listening to the Valley’s of Neptune – new Jimi Hendrix on vinyl. Great mixes! Of course, it doesn’t take long for Hendrix to bust out a solo in the tune you’re listening to. There are different versions of “Stone Free” and “Hear My Train A Comin’ “. Yes, this is new Jimi Hendrix – even as we’re approaching forty years of his untimely death (September 18, 1970). The release is also a way to enjoy the communication between Hendrix and drummer Mitch Mitchell. (Mitchell passed away in November 2008.) Both musicians had a flamboyant style with an amazing knack of playing off each other. Hendrix will bust out an embellishment after a guitar riff with Mitchell syncing in a tom and cymbal fill. It’s like the two having a conversation and they let us listen in!
