Rollng Stone looks at lost Hendrix

This is one of those rare issues of Rolling Stone I'll likely bother reading. Mostly, the mag just makes me feel old and annoyed (and annoyed because it makes me feel old), but this examination of "lost" Hendrix music seems like it's probably worth a browse.

Speaking with Hendrix’s longtime engineer Eddie Kramer, as well as bassist Billy Cox and former assistant engineer Tommy Erdelyi (better known as Tommy Ramone), David Fricke explores Hendrix’s high hopes for Electric Lady and his anticipated fourth studio album. In an interview just days before his death, the guitarist had said he was thinking “this era of music — sparked off by the Beatles — had come to an end. Something new has got to come, and Jimi Hendrix will be there.”
