On March 5th, 12 previously unreleased Jimi Hendrix recordings from 1968 and 1969 will be available as People, Hell and Angels. Seattle’s most famous Son was tinkering with new sounds and musical directions for First Rays of the New Rising Sun, the planned double-album follow-up to Electric Ladyland. And on “Somewhere” according to Rolling Stone " Hendrix sits down with Buddy Miles on drums and Stephen Stills on bass for a far-reaching psychedelic blues jam. Recorded in 1968, "Somewhere" rides signature Hendrix wails, long exploratory solos and free-flowing wordplay. Rolling Stone's Greatest Guitarist of All Time shows why he's earned that title with unparalleled skill and eternally innovative sounds, but "Somewhere" suggests his most complex work may have only been ahead of him.
Listen here! But first pull on your “I Am Experienced” tshirt Rockaholics!

Help raise funds for the development of Jimi Hendrix Park in Seattle’s vibrant Central District.
The Jimi Hendrix Park Foundation and 99.9 KISW The Rock of Seattle have partnered in this endeavor, with these limited edition Jimi Hendrix Park t-shirts from which all of the net proceeds will benefit the development of Seattle's new Jimi Hendrix Park.
Inspired by the music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix, the park, named in his honor, will beautify Seattle, motivate youth and others to achieve in music and art, and strengthen the cultural pulse of the Emerald City, Jimi Hendrix’s hometown. Nestled adjacent to the Northwest African American Museum [NAAM] and grounds of the former Colman School, Jimi Hendrix Park will be a primary focal point for multi-cultural events, gatherings, and activities for the community.
The Jimi Hendrix Park Foundation’s vision is to create a community space inspired by the electrifying music and story of Jimi Hendrix. To create a gathering place for individuals of diverse backgrounds and ages to celebrate cultural heritage, experience community pride, and enjoy innovative educational programming. The Foundation’s mission is to raise funds to support the development of Jimi Hendrix Park; coordinate the design process; organize innovative and inspiring programming; ensure community goals are met; and support long-term maintenance of Jimi Hendrix Park.
