Almost 45 years after “Electric Ladyland” came out in September 1968, Jimi Hendrix releases “People Hell & Angels” this week. Though Hendrix has now released more posthumous records than while alive, including a slew of unreleased tracks on 2010′s “Valleys of Neptune”, “People Hell & Angles” was reportedly the record Jimi was planning as his follow-up to “Electric Ladyland” and the most accurate indication of the musical direction he was heading in.
A statement on Jimi’s site makes “People Hell & Angels” sound like his own “White Album”:
These twelve recordings encompass a variety of unique sounds and styles incorporating many of the elements—horns, keyboards, percussion and second guitar—Jimi wanted to incorporate within his new music. People, Hell & Angels, presents some of the finest Jimi Hendrix guitar work ever issued and provides a compelling window into his growth as a songwriter, musician and producer.
It goes on to say the new record “offers tantalizing new clues as to the direction Hendrix was considering for ‘First Rays Of The New Rising Sun,’ his planned double album sequel to 1968′s groundbreaking ‘Electric Ladyland.’” Though the first track we’ve heard from the new record, “Somewhere”, doesn’t exactly sound worlds away from the signature Jimi sound we know and love. It does take his guitar riff out of the blues realm and into a major tonality that’s pretty unusual territory for him at 1:58. Listen below, and stay tuned for the rest of “People Hell & Angels” on Tuesday.

Very POOR loose jams on this CD, that is INTENTIONAL. The hype on this release all across the internet is ARTIFICIAL. The handful of moguls who orchestrated this are INTENT on drawing attention to POOR Hendrix jam music to CAUSE the public to conclude Jimi is "OVERRATED" – the point is to dwindle and diminish the influence of Hendrix. What are they doing this for?
This is ALL ABOUT rockprophecy com – the Hendrix asteroid prediction which is now manifesting. NOTE: The day they released the single song from this CD is the day Russia was hit by asteroid, VALENTINE'S DAY. Also it's when Asteroid DA14 passed – on VALENTINES DAY because Jimi named the asteroid storm coming at us "ELECTRIC LOVE" – so the asteroids appeared on Valentines Day = LOVE. The BRIGHTEST COMET ever seen will arrive CLOSEST to Earth on JIMI'S BIRTHDAY this year – Comet Ison.
The details of Jimi's prediction are at rockprophecy com. THAT story is WHY the moguls are DESTROYING interest in Jimi with this hideously bad CD for PEOPLE from HELL – the ANGELS will punish us all with ROCKS Jimi predicted – that's why he was the FIRST to be called "ROCK STAR" as in ASTEROID COMET. It was subliminal recognition by our species of Hendrix as mutation sensing remote view of objects in deep space.
As he sang: "Electric Love penetrates the sky, the Mountain falls in the sea, the Sun refuses to shine…" Jimi.
See today's news – on March 4 ANOTHER asteroid the size of the one that hit Russia came closer than the moon and THREE new comets are on the way…. Prophet Jimi…rockprophecy com.

Everything Rock knows about the guitar after 1970 came from his psychedelic twisting of what the instrument could do. I paid homage to Hendrix with a portrait called Purple Haze on the anniversary of his passing recently. You can see it at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/09/purple-haze-jimi-hendrix.html and tell me how the voodoo child’s music has influenced you!
