Jimi Hendrix !

Valleys of Neptune is the reason why Jimi Hendrix was the Best Guitarist of his times ( And still far better than many out there today )
This IMO is the best sounding Hendrix EVER ,(been listening to it for a couple days now).
The instrumental of Sunshine of your love is amazing , as with the rest of the tracks Hendrix absolutely Cut loose on these , except for a wah wah , no effects at all and it sounds like a lot of live cuts (no edits ), just Hendrix doing what he did best , Molest , rape , and obliterate a Stratocaster and a wall of Marshall amps !

News of a new Jimi Hendrix album could be greeted by fans of the rock guitarist with understandable skepticism. Hendrix only released three studio albums during his lifetime, but more than ten have been issued under his name after his death. Fans want to hear his work, but they also want to see his legacy respected by only putting out material from the vaults that’s worthy of his talent.

“Valleys of Neptune,” the newest new Hendrix album, due out tomorrow, features twelve tracks that have never before been officially commercially available. Some of the songs are covers (such as a version of Elmore James’ “Bleeding Heart” and an instrumental rendering of Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love”), others are new takes on already-released songs (including alternate versions of “Fire” and “Hear My Train a Comin”). But the new album also features originals, including the title track, “Lullaby for the Summer,” and “Ships Passing through the Night.”
The bulk of the tracks were recorded around 1969, roughly between the release of the Hendrix album “Electric Ladyland” and his appearance at Woodstock. The sessions captured the final recordings of Hendrix’s band the Jimi Hendrix Experience, which featured bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. (Redding and Mitchell added to their parts on one of the “Neptune” tracks, “Crying Blue Rain,” in 1987, long after Hendrix’s death in 1970.)

“Valleys of Neptune” has a raw, muscular sound. Hendrix gets caught up in the groove, letting his vocals slide into scat and unleashing his guitar. The recordings are largely free of studio trickery, which can date an album by tying it to trends of the moment. This may be as close to a new Hendrix album as his fans will ever get.
