2010 Album
Description:
2010 release from the legendary Rock guitarist containing 12 previously unreleased studio recordings. Ten of these recordings were made between February and May 1969 as the Jimi Hendrix Experience set out to create their sequel to the groundbreaking 1968 double album Electric Ladyland. Features 'Valleys of Neptune,' one of the most sought after of all of Hendrix's commercially unavailable recordings. Includes exciting 1969 arrangements of classic signature songs 'Red House', 'Fire' and 'Stone Free'. Also includes unheard studio versions of Hendrix's inspired interpretations of 'Bleeding Heart' by Elmore James and Cream's 'Sunshine of Your Love'. Mixed by Eddie Kramer, the engineer for all of Hendrix's albums throughout the guitarist's lifetime. Produced by Janie Hendrix, Eddie Kramer and John McDermott - the team behind all of the acclaimed Jimi Hendrix CD and DVD releases since 1996.
"Valleys Of Neptune" is a posthumous Jimi Hendrix studio compilation on CD, capturing a crucial creative phase shortly after the original Experience era. Featuring previously unreleased or hard-to-find recordings, this album showcases Hendrix in transition: reimagining familiar songs, experimenting with arrangements and tones, and pushing the boundaries of psychedelic rock, blues and early hard rock. The sound is rich, warm and detailed, allowing the guitar textures, dynamic rhythm section and Hendrix's expressive vocals to unfold with remarkable clarity. As a listening experience, "Valleys Of Neptune" feels like opening a time capsule from the late 1960s--intimate studio moments, extended jams and alternate versions that illuminate his evolving songwriting and improvisational vision. It is both accessible for newcomers and deeply rewarding for long-time fans who want to hear how Hendrix was reshaping his music in the period leading up to his later milestones.
Jimi Hendrix is widely regarded as one of the most influential guitarists in the history of popular music. With landmark albums such as "Are You Experienced", "Axis: Bold as Love" and "Electric Ladyland", he transformed the electric guitar into a vehicle for new sonic possibilities, blending blues, rock, soul and psychedelia with groundbreaking studio techniques. His iconic performances, including his appearances at the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock, helped redefine live rock shows and left an enduring imprint on generations of musicians. Hendrix's legacy rests not only on his technical mastery, but also on his expressive, song-driven approach that continues to inspire guitarists and songwriters worldwide.
The CD is released by Col, a label known for handling major catalogues and carefully curated reissues.
