New Hendrix album to be released

New album of twelve unreleased tracks by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, called Valleys Of Neptune, is to be released in March by Sony. There's gonna be a lot of tasty blues licks here and there with "Red House", "Bleeding Heart" (originally by slide guitar master, Elmore James) and Cream's "Sunshine Of Your Love" (also briefly covered by Jimi on his awesome BBC Sessions). Tracks come from 1969 sessions.

It is another in a long series of Jimi's posthumous albums. If you have none of them, see First Rays Of the New Rising Son, the Cry Of Love and Rainbow Bridge first. They're all worth it! I'm sure most of electric blues enthusiasts enjoy and appreciate virtuosity of probably one of the best guitar players that stepped on Earth ever. :)
