Releases

Hendrix estate sitting on a decade’s worth of material

Jimi Hendrix’s sister Janie, who as president and CEO of Experience Hendrix and Authentic Hendrix controls her late brother’s catalogue, has said that there is still enough unreleased Hendrix material in the archives to keep new releases coming for at least another decade.

Speaking to the website of guitar manufacturers Gibson, who are launching a new line of Hendrix-themed guitars, she said: “We probably have another decade of music, including video. Every twelve to eighteen months we’ll continue to have new releases and official bootlegs. Jimi was a workaholic. After Electric Lady studios was built he was able to record constantly for as many hours as he wanted to. It’s almost as if he knew he had only four years to accomplish everything that he did. We have an amazing amount of original masters, including a lot of material that hasn’t been previously released”.
