    the article says the album was recorded 30 years ago. hmmm, Hendrix died 38 years ago. so unless he rose from the dead to record this album, I call bullshit.

    It's not bullshit at all. The person who wrote the article was probably reading a press release from a press release, and didn't know Jimi Hendrix from Jiminy Cricket.

    Hendrix recorded lots of stuff with Stills, of varying quality, between 1968 and 1970. Here's one unmixed track, "White Nigger", with all the tracks heard in one mush:

    I thought they only recorded like 2 or 3 songs together? Is there enough there for an album by either Hendrix or Stills?

    Jimi Hendrix and Stephen Stills album confirmed

    Hendrix: Collaboration album with Stephen Stills is confirmed

    John McDermott, one of the archivists and overseers of Jimi Hendrix's recordings, has confirmed that an album of tracks featuring Stephen Stills and Hendrix is being readied for release.

    McDermott confirmed to MusicRadar: "Stephen has been working with Experience Hendrix to compile an album's worth of sessions recorded with Jimi Hendrix during 1969 and 1970." McDermott says he is acting as a co-producer on the collection, but no further details are being released yet.

    Previous sessions involving the two guitarists have emerged before – notably the Stills' Basement bootlegs - but the authenticity of some of those tracks has been questioned. One track featuring Hendrix on guitar, from 1970 - Old Times, Good Times – appeared on Stills' self-titled debut album of the same year, but it seems there is much more.

    White Nigger due for official release?
    The most controversial track the two recorded together is called White Nigger – many versions of this song (originally recorded with Stills singing and Hendrix on guitar) have surfaced before, but there is dispute as to whether these existing bootlegs actually feature Hendrix or are later versions recorded by Stills in 1973 with a different guitarist.

    A source close to the project told MusicRadar: "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."

    Jimi Hendrix is still consistently voted the greatest guitarist of all time, so more unreleased Jimi tracks? What's not for guitar players to like?
    NOTE: The aforementioned Stills' Basement boot has in fact been debunked as featuring Jimi. He only appears on one track on that boot...other songs do not feature Hendrix. ...........I'm pretty effin' psyched for this record, even if Jimi's creative involvement is limited. It'll probably be similar to the Noel Redding Experience Sessions in that sense.

    "Old Times, Good Times" is the only track on Stills' Basement to feature Jimi.
