'LOST' HENDRIX ALBUM DISCOVERED [/size]

A lost album JIMI HENDRIX recorded with rocker STEPHEN STILLS has been discovered more than 30 years after it was recorded.
Stills recently found the recording among a stack of material he taped during the 1970s, and his Crosby, Stills and Nash bandmate Graham Nash is helping him prepare it for release.
Nash tells the Las Vegas Sun, "He has an enormous history of recording. In the '70s, he was a recording fool. He just found a bloody album he made with (Jimi) Hendrix.
"'Oh yeah, I forgot that.' We've got to listen to that... I want to listen to every track he ever recorded in case he recorded with Al Jolson."

Hendrix's solo work in progress at the time of his death has previously been issued as the album "First Rays Of The New Rising Sun", but the news of extensive recordings with Stills is a revelation.

Stills' 1970 self-titled debut album did feature Hendrix on one track, Old Times Good Times, but now it seems that there is an album's worth of material. Stills' album also featured Eric Clapton, but it's not known whether there is attack featuring all three guitarists – Clapton has never claimed he recorded with Hendrix, even though the two were friends.


Wow imagine if Clapton, Hendrix, and Stills all three are on that album

What an amazing find, I can't wait to check it out if it gets released.

That would be a fantastic album, a lost "Hendrix" album, what a find

Reading what "Stills" said in another mag, he say's, "Oh yeah, I Ugh forgot I had it, how can you forget something like that, maybe it was what he was taking that made him forget

Thanks for posting

I just got this in a E-Mail off Gibson.com,
It looks like it's confirmed there is a recording of "Stills" with "Hendrix", and an album is going to be "Released",

Lost Hendrix Album Confirmed
07.10.2008

A long lost album of tracks Stephen Stills recorded with Jimi Hendrix over 30 years ago has surfaced, and is being readied for release, according to a report from MusicRadar.com that cited confirmation of the recordings' existence and their imminent release from John McDermott, a long-time Hendrix historian and archivist.

"Stephen has been working with Experience Hendrix to compile an album's worth of sessions recorded with Jimi Hendrix during 1969 and 1970," McDermott told MusicRadar.com. According to the report, no official information on the recordings has been released yet, though McDermott did say he would be the collection's co-producer.

Stills apparently found the lost Hendrix recordings among a stack of old tapes he recorded in the 1970s, either by himself or with various other musicians. According to a report in the Las Vegas Sun, Graham Nash—Stills' long-time bandmate in Crosby, Stills and Nash—is also involved in the collection's release. It is one of 13 CSN-related projects Nash is currently working on.

"In the '70s, he was a recording fool," Nash told the Sun. "He just found a bloody album he made with Hendrix."

Stills' reaction to finding it? "'Oh yeah, I forgot that,'" Nash said. "I want to listen to every track he ever recorded in case he recorded with Al Jolson."

Apparently, several purported recordings of Stills and Hendrix together have previously appeared on various bootlegs, though the authenticity of those recordings had always been in doubt. Only one song from that period—titled "Old Times, Good Times"—has ever officially been released, appearing on Stills' self-titled album that was released in 1970.

It now appears the imminent release of Stills' recent discovery will settle several long-standing debates regarding the authenticity of those bootlegs. One source with close ties to the project told MusicRadar.com, "We have tapes in our archive—Jimi on guitar and bass—plus Stephen had some from his 1970 solo album that he wanted to finish, fix, and mix. From a musical point of view, it's definitely Stephen with Jimi helping, as opposed to a joint collaboration. But it is still a very nice project."

Stay tuned for more updates.—Gabriel J. Hernandez

Great find, i cant wait to get this Cd,

I cant believe they've found this lost tape, folk's have been talking about this, and there's been all kind of rumors about a tape for years,

[sparky]

So it's confirmed there is a tape then cofi, awesome,

This is fantastic news, I have always thought that there was some (lost) more recording's of Hendrix someplace, I have heard that he was known for, and liked recording whenever he could with different folk's, so it makes sense that there would be some recordings kept by someone some-where, either forgotten or not, IMO.
