    Jimi Hendrix Track By Track Preview Of New Album

    www.antimusic.com

    Today Jimi Hendrix would have celebrated his 70th birthday. To mark the occasion, Experience Hendrix LLC and Legacy Recordings have released a track by track preview of the forthcoming album, 'People, Hell & Angels,' which will feature twelve previously unreleased studio recordings by Hendrix and is set for release on March 5th.

    Earth Blues: Totally unlike the version first issued as part of Rainbow Bridge in 1971, this December 19, 1969 master take features just Hendrix, Billy Cox and Buddy Miles--stripped down funk at its very origin.

    Somewhere: This newly discovered gem was recorded in March 1968 and features Buddy Miles on drums and Stephen Stills on bass. Entirely different from any previous version fans have ever heard.

    Hear My Train A Comin': This superb recording was drawn from Jimi's first ever recording session with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles--the powerhouse rhythm section with whom he would later record the groundbreaking album Band Of Gypsys.

    Jimi shared a deep love for the blues with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles. Both musicians understood Jimi's desire to create what he described as a 'new type of blues'. Jimi's menacing lead guitar is the centerpiece of this dramatic addition to his remarkable legacy.

    Bleeding Heart: This Elmore James masterwork had long been a favorite of Jimi's. He had performed the song earlier that year with the Experience in concert at the Royal Albert Hall and had attempted to capture the song in New York studio sessions during the weeks that followed.

    Recorded at the same May 1969 session as "Hear My Train A Coming," the track conveys Jimi's firm understanding of the arrangement and tempo he desired. Before they began, Jimi instructed Cox and Miles that he wanted to establish a totally different beat than the standard arrangement. He then kicked off this amazing rendition that was nothing like any other he had ever attempted.

    Let Me Move You: In March 1969, Jimi reached back to another old friend, saxophonist Lonnie Youngblood. Before he was discovered by Chas Chandler in the summer of 1966, Jimi had contributed guitar as a nondescript studio sideman for Youngblood and such infectious rhythm and blues styled singles such as "Soul Food".

    This March 1969 session features Hendrix and Youngblood trading licks throughout this never before heard, high velocity rock and soul classic.

    Izabella: In the aftermath of the Woodstock festival, Jimi gathered his new ensemble, Gypsy Sun & Rainbows, at the Hit Factory in August 1969 with engineer Eddie Kramer. "Izabella" had been one of the new songs the guitarist introduced at the Woodstock festival and Jimi was eager to perfect a studio version. This new version is markedly different from the Band Of Gypsys 45 rpm single master issued by Reprise Records in 1970 and features Larry Lee, Jimi's old friend from the famed rhythm & blues 'chitin' circuit', on rhythm guitar.

    Easy Blues: An edited extract of this gorgeous, free flowing instrumental was briefly issued as part of the long-out-of-print 1981 album Nine To The Universe. Now nearly twice as long, the track offers fans the opportunity to enjoy the dramatic interplay between Jimi, second guitarist Larry Lee, Billy Cox and drummer Mitch Mitchell.

    Crash Landing: Perhaps known as the title song for the controversial 1975 album that featured Hendrix master recordings posthumously overdubbed by session musicians, this April 1969 original recording has never been heard before. Jimi is joined here by Billy Cox and drummer Rocky Isaac of the Cherry People to record this thinly veiled warning to his girlfriend Devon Wilson.

    Inside Out: Jimi was fascinated by the rhythm pattern that would ultimately take form as "Ezy Ryder". Joined here by Mitch Mitchell, Jimi recorded all of the bass and guitar parts for this fascinating song--including a dramatic lead guitar part amplified through a Leslie organ speaker.

    Hey Gypsy Boy: The roots of Jimi's majestic "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)" trace themselves to this March 1969 recording. Unlike the posthumously overdubbed version briefly issued as part of Midnight Lightning in 1975, this is original recording that features Jimi joined by Buddy Miles.

    Mojo Man: Jimi would lend a hand to Albert & Arthur Allen, the vocalists known as the Ghetto Fighters, whom he had befriended in Harlem long before he achieved fame with the Experience. When the two recorded this inspired, previously unreleased master at the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama they took it back to Hendrix at Electric Lady Studios. Jimi knew just what to do to elevate the recording beyond contemporary R & B to the new hybrid of rock, rhythm and blues he was celebrated for.

    Villanova Junction Blues: Long before his famous performance of this song at Woodstock, Jimi recorded this studio version with Billy Cox and Buddy Miles at the same May 1969 session which yielded "Hear My Train A Comin'" and "Bleeding Heart" also featured on this album. Never fully finished, the song stands as an example of the fertile ideas he hoped to harness and bring to fruition.

  2. I couldn't agree more. It's the one zep album that would benefit from a complete sonic overhaul. The mix is shabby - it sounds like Jimmy is trying to hide his guitar for much of it. I know they got to use Polar studios for nothing, but the sound of the place doesn't suit the band... Bonzo's kit sound squashed (Jimmy even said on one of his 'on this days' that the sound of the studio wasn't what they were used to). One could hope that for the new remasters the multitracks could be revisited and a more sympathetic mix done...... although the chances of that happening aren't even worth considering.

    I think with a different/better mix more people who don't really like the album would finally 'get it'. There are some great songs on there, just not presented in the most flattering light.

    I disagree on the drum sound- maybe the mix could be improved on a overall song but the actual bed track for the drums sounds great. This is isolated drums for 'All My Love' and 'Ozone Baby'

  3. As Zeptember turns to Rocktober and the imminent launch of Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience Tour it seems appropriate to start a new thread for the purpose of presenting a vast array of periodicals, photographs, videoclips, anecdotes, gig reviews etc. from Jason's three decades in rock music.

    Airraceshaftoflight.jpg

    Airrace was the first group Jason Bonham joined, at age 17. They released one hard-driving rock album in 1984, Shaft Of Light.

    Vocals: Keith Murrell

    Guitars: Laurie Mansworth

    Bass: Jim Reid,

    Keyboards: Toby Sadler

    Drums: Jason Bonham

    I bought that Airrace when it first came out and the Virginia Wolf's -very good stuff.

  4. It seems that ones that were built prior to 2008 have capacitor issues (our tv picture just blinked out, still have sound tho, and cannot access any menu programs) that will be covered by Samsung. Our model looks to fall into the right catagory. If we read it right, the settlement was March 2012 and consumers have 18 months to file a claim. We will be calling today to find out more. I just hope that it does, cuz with Christmas and property taxes this month I can't afford to buy a new one or even pay to get this one fixed right now.

    You can go here......

    for more ino

    I have a flat screen RCA with a DVD player and about 2 years it would come on by itself after you had turned it off and just do crazy stuff. Well I unplugged it from the wall to let it maybe reboot itself and it fixed it. I have tried the same thing on the washing machine and my cell phone when they act up and it does work. But make sure the tv is on when you unplug the cord don't do it with the tv off. And leave it unplugged over night if possible.
  5. Not photo- shopped? That's the biggest laugh I've had all day.

    Here's a photo of another shot from the same session - the contrast is amazing

    DSCN0013.jpg

    Look at Robert - he actually has crows feet, normal facial-lines, and his hair isn't yellow

    DSCN0019.jpg

    and Jimmy - no rasberry lips here and his hairline hasn't been filled in with a thick white head of hair.

    DSCN0020.jpg

    The photo-shopping of the other picture is lame, unnecessary and embarrassing.

    Since you seem to have a direct link to Jimmy Page-why don't you ask him what was done to the photo as he and the others have the final say on what is used.
  6. ^cool! I never would have guessed Jimmy was the type to let his pants sag a lil :lol:

    If you ever get the chance to see the rehearsal video of them with Jason Bonham for the Atlantic records 1988 show- they keep playing Misty Mountain Hop over and over and Jimmy and Robert have their backs to the video camera-his pants are very baggy then also.
  7. Digging the 'at Jonesy

    which concert please?

    I think the pic is from Cleveland 1-24-75 but could also be from Indianapolis 1-25-75 or Pittsburcg 2-1-75. It is for sure not from any date on the second leg of the US 1975 tour as Bonzo did't wear the Droogs(white coveralls) outfit on that part of the tour-usually just a black long sleeve shirt sometimes with the black derby hat.

  8. Iommi Doesn't See Ward Reuniting With Black Sabbath

    www.antimusic.com

    Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi doesn't see that it is possible for Bill Ward to return to the group and take part of their current reunion.

    Iommi was interviewed by Blairing Out and was asked about Ward, as well as the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer charity and his own battle with cancer.

    When asked about Ward reuniting with the group he said, "We'll always have a heart for Bill," he said. "But I think it's gone past that now. It's gone on so long that I don't see that happening at the moment. Maybe at some point we might do it."
