Lost Hendrix Album Discovered

World Entertainment News Network reports that a lost album Jimi Hendrix recorded with rocker Stephen Stills has been discovered more than 30 years after it was recorded. Stills recently found the recording among a stack of material he taped during the 1970s, and his Crosby, Stills And Nash bandmate Graham Nash is helping him prepare it for release.

Nash tells the Las Vegas Sun, "He has an enormous history of recording. In the '70s, he was a recording fool. He just found a bloody album he made with (Jimi) Hendrix.

"'Oh yeah, I forgot that.' We've got to listen to that... I want to listen to every track he ever recorded in case he recorded with Al Jolson."

Hendrix's solo work in progress at the time of his death has previously been issued as the album First Rays Of The New Rising Sun, but the news of extensive recordings with Stills is a revelation.

Stills' 1970 self-titled debut album did feature Hendrix on one track, Old Times Good Times, but now it seems that there is an album's worth of material. Stills' album also featured Eric Clapton, but it's not known whether there is attack featuring all three guitarists – Clapton has never claimed he recorded with Hendrix, even though the two were friends.

Well this is certainly exciting news. We can only hope that this actually gets released and doesn't hit any major obstacles. While Stills doesn't seem like the most likely of recording partners with Hendrix it should certainly turn out to be interesting. What could this possibly sound like? Will Hendrix be wailing psychadelic solos with Stills backing him on bass, or maybe a more bluesy sound like "Red House." Maybe even folk like CSNY! I doubt it, but the thought of it is tearing me up inside.

When doing a little research on the most trustworthy site on the Internet, Wikipedia, I found that Stills was actually invited to join the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The invite was never accepted however due to Stills' manager not passing along the news to Stephen. Maybe it was a good thing, Stills went on to have a succesful career and it was a great oppurtunity for Noel Redding.
