    I’ve been doing my best to maintain a reasonable timeline for the performances and recording dates of our shows, but a few always slip through the cracks.

    Perhaps I’m just making excuses, but sometimes it just makes sense to be patient and place the material in a spot where it would be most comfortable for the listener to ‘experience’ them.

    Regardless, this is a great time to share these somewhat earlier recordings with you now – at a point when Jimi is starting to gather up material for a third album that he hasn’t even begun to pull together. Let’s listen in on a genius at work.

    Featured tracks are:

    Little One

    Mr. Bad Luck

    Cat Talking to Me

    Castles Made of Sand

    Tears of Rage

    Hear My Train a-Comin’

    1983 (A Merman I Shall Turn to Be)

    Long Hot Summer Night

    My Friend

    Angel

    Calling All the Devil’s Children

    New Rising Sun

    Have You Ever Been to Electric Ladyland (studio take)

    Room Full of Mirrors (studio take)
