Hendrix never sleeps

Heard on NPR today that a 'new' Hendrix record is on its way in March. "Valleys of Neptune" comes from Jimi's storied post-Ladyland London sessions. Heard just a snippet on the piece...eh, sounded like, well, a Jimi outtake.

They at least had producer Eddie Kramer on there to talk about the release, which he spent a year cleaning up and re-mastering. Kramer is still in awe of Hendrix - I guess most of the rest of us are too, although can anyone think of any dead musician's closet tapes so thoroughly exploited as Hendrix'? With the possible exception of Elvis....
