Previously unreleased Hendrix album of all new material coming in March

A new Jimi Hendrix record, titled People, Hell and Angels, will be released March 5. That’s the album art above. Unlike other new Hendrix releases that have come about in recent years, this album is of all new material as opposed to live recordings or remasters. Here’s the info from Rollingstone.com

People, Hell and Angels follows Hendrix in 1968 and 1969 as he works on material apart from the Jimi Hendrix Experience and suggests new, experimental directions.

The legendary guitarist was considering these new sounds for First Rays of the New Rising Sun, the planned double-album follow-up to Electric Ladyland. Hendrix toys with horns, keyboards, percussion and a second guitar, exploring fresh diversions from his legendary guitarwork.
