Toggle navigation Welcome Guest. Jimi Hendrix. November 27, - September 18, Jesus Thinks You're a Jerk: Rock vs. It's extremely difficult to separate the facts of Hendrix's life from rumors and speculation. Everyone who knew him well, or claimed to know him well, has different versions of his state of mind in Critics have variously mused that he was going to go into jazz, that he was going to get deeper into the blues, that he was going to continue doing what he was doing, or that he was too confused to know what he was doing at all.
The same confusion holds true for his death: Contradictory versions of his final days have been given by his closest acquaintances of the time. He'd been working intermittently on a new album, tentatively titled First Ray of the New Rising Sun, when he died in London on September 18, , from a drug-related overdose. Hendrix recorded a massive amount of unreleased studio material during his lifetime. Much of this as well as entire live concerts was issued posthumously; several of the live concerts were excellent, but the studio tapes have been the focus of enormous controversy for over 20 years.
These initially came out in haphazard drabs and drubs the first, The Cry of Love, was easily the most outstanding of the lot. In the mid-'70s, producer Alan Douglas took control of these projects, overdubbing many of Hendrix's tapes with additional parts by studio musicians.
In the eyes of many Hendrix fans, this was sacrilege, destroying the integrity of the work of a musician known to exercise meticulous care over the final production of his studio recordings.
Even as late as , Douglas was having ex- Knack drummer Bruce Gary record new parts for the typically misbegotten compilation Voodoo Soup. After a lengthy legal dispute, the rights to Hendrix's estate, including all of his recordings, returned to Al Hendrix, the guitarist's father, in July of They were able to find all the original master tapes, which had never been used for previous CD releases, and in April of , Hendrix's first three albums were reissued with drastically improved sound.
Later in , another compilation called South Saturn Delta showed up, collecting more tracks from posthumous LPs like Crash Landing, War Heroes, and Rainbow Bridge without the terrible '70s overdubs , along with a handful of never-before-heard material that Chas Chandler had withheld from Alan Douglas for all those years. More archival material followed. Radio One was basically expanded to the two-disc BBC Sessions released in , and saw the release of the full show from Woodstock as well as additional concert recordings from Band of Gypsies shows entitled Live at the Fillmore East.
