NEW YORK\u2014Unreleased songs recorded by Jimi Hendrix between 1968 and 1970 will be released next year.<\/p>\n

Experience Hendrix and Legacy Recordings announced Wednesday that they will release Hendrix’s \u201cBoth Sides of the Sky\u201d on March 9, 2018. The 13-track album includes 10 songs that have never been released.<\/p>\n

Hendrix died in 1970 at age 27. The new album is the third volume in a trilogy from the guitar hero’s archive. \u201cValleys of Neptune\u201d was released in 2010, followed by \u201cPeople, Hell and Angels,\u201d released in 2013.<\/p>\n

Eddie Kramer, who worked as recording engineer on every Hendrix album made during the artist’s life, said in an interview that 1969 was \u201ca very experimental year\u201d for Hendrix, and that he was blown away as he worked on the new album.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first thing is you put the tape on and you listen to it and the hairs just stand up right on the back of your neck and you go, ‘Oh my God. This is too (expletive) incredible,\u201d said Kramer. \u201cIt’s an incredible thing. Forty, 50 years later here we are and I’m listening to these tapes going, ‘Oh my God, that’s an amazing performance.\u201d’<\/p>\n

Many of the album’s tracks were recorded by Band of Gypsys, Hendrix’s trio with Buddy Miles and Billy Cox. Stephen Stills appears on two songs: \u201c$20 Fine\u201d and \u201cWoodstock.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt sounds like Crosby, Stills & Nash except it’s on acid, you know,\u201d Kramer, laughing, said of \u201c$20 Fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJimi is just rocking it,\u201d he added. \u201cIt’s an amazing thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnny Winter appears on \u201cThings I Used to Do\u201d; original Jimi Hendrix Experience members Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding are featured on \u201cHear My Train A Comin\u201d’; and Lonnie Youngblood is on \u201cGeorgia Blues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kramer produced the album alongside John McDermott and Janie Hendrix, the legend’s sister and president of Experience Hendrix. Kramer said though \u201cBoth Sides of the Sky\u201d is the last of the trilogy, someone could find new Hendrix music in an attic or a basement, which could be re-worked.<\/p>\n

He also said they have live footage of Hendrix, some just audio and some in video, which they plan to release.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was amazing just to watch him in the studio or live. The brain kicks off the thought process \u2014 it goes through his brain through his heart and through his hands and onto the guitar, and it’s a seamless process,\u201d Kramer said. \u201cIt’s like a lead guitar and a rhythm guitar at the same time, and it’s scary. There’s never been another Jimi Hendrix, at least in my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
