"People, Hell and Angels" New Jimi Hendrix Album Preview
I love this photo of Jimi! The thoughtful look in his eyes, holding his beloved source of escape and inspiration: inspiration for the muse himself. Click on the image source link to visit the site of a record collector who actually owns a group of 21 albums from Jimi's personal record collection, as sold by Kathy Etchingham at auction in, in the UK in 2001. Cool to see some of the music that Jimi listened to ... his source of personal inspiration from fellow musicians. I wasn't surprised to see Dylan in his collection, another of my favorites. Does make me pause and wonder how many of today's musicians don't have a tangible (can be held sans electronics) collection of their musical inspiration, a collection that can be physically perused, contemplated ... collections now-a-days reside in the sphere of digital ones and zeros for the most part. I still collect my favorites on vinyl though --whenever possible. I'm partial to the analog range and subtle nuances?
Here's a link to a USA interview with Janie Hendrix that shares her personal insights and reflections on her brother's music, found in this new release, as well as the parting bit of wisdom that he left her with.
3/5/2013 FYI: Just checked and the new album "People, Hell and Angels" is now available on Spotify as well.
