To begin with, I find the album to be totally listenable, beginning to end. Is it the best posthumous Hendrix ever? No, that would be "Cry of Love" or "War Heroes", both nearly fifty years old now. But to be composed of previously unreleased material, this album (as I will refer to it from now on), is better than I anticipated. The two Stephen Stills outtakes are what prompted me to pull the trigger on this album. "20 Dollar Fine" is a mediocre Stills tune at best. However, Jimi's lead elevates it a notch. Likewise, the stripped bare "Woodstock" with Jimi on bass is novel. "Power of Soul" and "Cherokee" sound much cleaner than any old boot versions. And if that is not enough, there is an appearance by Johnny Winter. Last of all, the album has excellent fidelity, better than I would have imagined possible. Read full review

I’ve been a Hendrix fan since 1967 when I bought an EP with Purple Haze, The wind Cries Mary , Foxy Lady and Hey Joe on it - normally I’m sceptical about people cashing in on unreleased material but I’ve enjoyed this CD and now my wife and 36 year old son have borrowed it - the Mannish Boy opening track is interesting as is the alternative version of Lover Man but Hear My Train A comin’ is probably my pick of the tracks, wish I could put it on my IPhone but my daughter says it has copyright protection

The new Hendrix CD is a stone groove funkus McJamster showdown! Highly recommend its consumption under the loving influence of two tabs of Orange Sunshine! “Just ask The Axis!” Kick out the jams, bruthas and sistas!
