Deceased Greatest One-Hit Wonder Turns 60
Reported by erun
George Clinton, Bootsy Collins and Earth, Wind and Fire are among the first acts confirmed to appear on a Jimi Hendrix tribute album slated for the end of this year. The record is the first in a wave of Hendrix-related products that are expected to appear around November 27 on what would have been the guitar hero's 60th birthday. The tribute album will also feature a number of contemporary musicians, says Hendrix sister Janie, who is overseeing the project "because Jimi was cross-generational." Janie acts as president of Experience Hendrix LLC, the partnership she created with her father Al in 1995 after the family took control of the Jimi Hendrix estate. No tracklisting has been finalized, yet refer to any of the other three Jimi Hendrix tribute albums available now (one featuring P.M. Dawn!) for possibilities.
