More unearthed material by Jimi Hendrix, this time from 1968-1969, is set to be released on March 5th. Titled People, Hell & Angels, the album will have 12 songs which were part of what was to be Hendrix’s grand creation, First Rays of the New Rising Sun, which never got released during his lifetime as the oft-considered all-time guitar player died in London, England in 1970.
The first single from the album, “Somewhere,” which wound up originally on a collection of outtakes entitled Crash Landing and released in 1975, was poorly edited and even doctored up to sound authentic.
