Fans of legendary american guitarist and singer Jimi Hendrix (who is probably everybody who knows at least something about good music) can be happy because they will hear tracks that haven't been released so far. Album entitled People, Hell and Angels will contain songs that were recorded during 1968 and 1969. They were supposed to be featured on album First Days Of The New Rising Sun.
In that times, this phenomenal artist experimented with his music (and also with drugs) quite a lot. He didn't play just the guitar but percussions, flutes and keyboards as well. Jimi died on September 18 1970 and therefore, he never got the time to finish the record. First Days Of The New Rising Sun did come out in 1997 though.
People, Hell and Angels will feature 12 rarities and according to Rolling Stone Magazine it will be in stores on March 5 in the US. European date of release will be probably March 4, but it hasn't been officially announced yet.
I'm actually really happy about this because I admire Jimi Hendrix a lot. He gave the rock the right direction, which was later followed by many artists. I think that rock wouldn't exist in such form as we know it today. It is sad that such great artists die very young. Well, maybe we wouldn't admire them as much if they had still lived...who knows...
At least, let's remind his greatness with his performance of "Wild Thing" at Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. Yes, this is the legendary performance during which he famously puts his guitar on fire. This concert actually really started his career.
