SEATTLE – This November marks the 70th birthday of Jimi Hendrix, and to celebrate his legacy, EMP Museum is organizing a major new exhibition about one of rock music’s most influential artists.

Sundazed presents the second installment in its landmark Jimi Hendrix singles series, which honors the legendary guitar icon’s singular musical genius by presenting it in the same medium in which it was originally experienced by fans: vinyl.

The series’ latest release once again pairs two vintage Hendrix tracks, combining his visionary reading of Earl King’s R&B classic “Come On (Let the Good Times Roll)” alongside the Hendrix original “Calling All the Devil’s Children.”

RollingStone.com and Experience Hendrix have come together to create the brand new Hendrix at 70 hub to celebrate what would have been Jimi’s 70th birthday year! We’ll be rolling out exclusive Hendrix content all year long so be sure to check back often and spread the news.

RollingStone.com has an exclusive video from the upcoming release of Jimi Plays Berkeley! Check it out.
