Experience Hendrix LLC and Legacy Recordings proudly announce the second wave of releases in the monumental 2010 Jimi Hendrix Catalog Project, available October 19, 2010.

Legacy’s next round of titles from the artist Rolling Stone magazine called “the greatest guitarist of all time” will include deluxe editions of Jimi Hendrix Experience: BBC Sessions and Jimi Hendrix: Blues, his legendary Live At Woodstock performance, and Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year, the highly collectible Jimi Hendrix Christmas EP.

Personal items belonging to Jimi Hendrix arrived today accompanied by his sister, Janie Hendrix. The items include a colorful patchwork full-length leather coat, a leather necklace and a leather pouch. These are among the very few of the rock legend’s possessions sent home to his family from his apartment in New York after he died on Sept.

Paul McCartney paid musical tribute to rock and roll legend Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Wight festival.

The Beatles icon performed a set of Hendrix’s hits, to mark the 40th anniversary of the rocker’s legendary performance at the festival, which was his last major event before he died.

On June 15th “Bleeding Heart” will be released as a 7″ vinyl single in North America. The single is from Valleys of Neptune, which was released earlier this year. The b-side will feature “Jam 292” from the Dagger Record’s release, Hear My Music.

LL Cool J is a rarity: A first wave hip-hop legend who has managed to continuously elevate his profile for more than two decades and counting. So, it seems only natural that for #MusicMonday, he told us that his current musical obsession is a healthy combination of something classic and something current.

From the Washington Post:
Say the name Jimi Hendrix and you think: Rock star. Woodstock. Crazy costumes. Greatest electric guitar player ever.

But his sister Janie and the National Museum of the American Indian want you to know that part of his great style came from his Native American ancestry.
