Read the full review.
People, Hell and Angels is Jimi Hendrix’s new album with twelve recordings which encompass a variety of unique sounds and styles incorporating many of the elements—horns, keyboards, percussion and second guitar—Jimi wanted to explore within his new music. People, Hell and Angels, presents some of the finest Jimi Hendrix guitar work ever issued and provides a compelling window into his growth as a songwriter, musician and producer.
From AOL.com:
“Though his recording career lasted under five years, Jimi Hendrix left behind a treasure trove of recorded material before dying in 1970. The guitar god’s studio work has led to a slew of posthumous releases, the latest of which is People, Hell and Angels.”
From Rolling Stone:
On March 5th, Experience Hendrix and Legacy will release People, Hell and Angels, a new collection of previously unheard recordings from guitar luminary Jimi Hendrix. …Now you can get an exclusive first listen to the blistering, stunning rendition of “Hear My Train a Comin.'”
