Apparently, Stephen Stills claims to have recorded an album with Hendrix he forgot about for around 40 years:

Interesting, how does one completly forget recording a hendrix album.

Unless it was forgettable material.

Either way, i'd love to hear it.

by being Stephen Stills, IOW regularly doing enough drugs to incapacitate a stadium full of mountain gorillas.

that would tend to make you forget stuff.

Ah....I am glad I was drinking milk or anything when I read your comment. I undoubtedly would have shot it thru my nose.

Thanks for the laugh, and yes, that definetly would probably make you forget.

If some of the stuff written about him is true, Steve Stills would be the least credible witness on earth for something like this.

The Neil Young megabio SHAKEY says that Stills claimed to be a combat veteran . . . and it simply never happened.

I think I already have a version of something called "Stills-Hendrix Sessions" that I found somewhere. If I remember correctly it consists of three or four approx. 15-minute blues jams. I bet that's what Stephen Stills remembers as some kind of album recording project. If that's what they're releasing, don't waste your money on it. It's just your typical early 1970s pothead burnout type stuff, nothing essential.

I've never heard any "lost"/post-humous Hendrix stuff that was worth much. My Ma just gave me a Hendrix book for my birthday that included a sessions out takes disk. It was painful. It won't be long until Jimi's family and friends have squeezed his corpse for every last cent and we will be free from this sort of stuff.

as a late 1990's pothead burnout type, might i find it to be essential?

Maybe, maybe not. I'll have to try to remember to dig through my piles of CDRs and find it. I might plain forget, as I am not particularly interested (honestly)

I do believe, totally, that Stills is one of those people who has forgotten large swaths of his life. I hope he someday tells his side of the story about him and Elvis Costello getting into a bar fight in the late 1970s after Costello made fun of the reconstructive metal plates in his nose which were necessitated by way too much cocaine.

I like Stills, I'm just not that interested in him. It's an odd combination.

haahaa no i think we wont here about that story because he's probably too embarrassed. yeah stills is good but start telling me his life story, zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. i

Stephen Stills looks like a junior high P.E. teacher.

Ok... I have something labeled 5-21-68. It's the 2 of them on guitar, drums sound like Buddy Miles (was he even around in 68?), bass, no vocals so far. 2 chords for the first 5 minutes. It sounds like the kind of jamming you get when the musicians are simultaneously watching a bruce lee movie on tv (sort of listless)

I don't think this could be the new album release. That would be a dreadful swindle on the part of the industry (not their first)

I have a few casette tapes I made off some vinyl bootlegs of Hendrix outtakes. It is true that it's mostly pretty non-essential...typically a lot of it is "kind of cool" or "interesting to listen to", with occasional shining nuggets of semi-brilliance and a fair amount of turgid stuff that doesn't really do much. I do have a copy of one pretty good bootleg that was called "Ladyland in Flames". It had a couple pieces with John McLaughlin jamming with Hendrix that were pretty neat. The 'Nine to the Universe' LP is arguably an outtake release, and I will say that I think that record is pretty amazing, one of my favs actually.

The Timothy Leary album "You Can Be Anything This Time Around" is a jam that includes Stills, Buddy Miles and Hendrix (on bass), plus maybe some other folks.
At the time that I listened to it I was under the stars in Vail, Colorado on a warm summer night.
It was an amazing experience...
Listening to it again later under non-psychoactive conditions...it just wasn't the same.
But, hell, it was still Hendrix!
