There's a Soul House Over Yonder

Remember that Jimi Hendrix tribute album we told you about? Power of Soul is it's name, and motley assortement of arteests is its game. Minnesota purple lover Prince recorded a version of "Red House" and promptly renamed it "Purple House" (heretic!) and Musiq reinterpreted "Are You Experienced?" Carlos Santana covers "Spanish Castle Magic," Parliament/Funkadelic singer George Clinton and bassist Bootsy Collins do "Power of Soul," and Earth, Wind & Fire turning on the heat for "Voodoo Chile." A couple of collaborations will appear on the album as well. Kid Rock's guitarist Kenny Olson joins Chaka Khan on "Little Wing," and guitar virtuoso Jeff Beck and pop/R&B singer Seal take on "The Wind Cries Mary." Power of Soul will include one of the last recordings by the late John Lee Hooker, the disc's second version of "Red House." And former Hendrix alumni also chime in; Band of Gypsies drummer Buddy Miles plays on "Manic Depression" and bassist Billy Cox performs on "Machine Gun." No release date has been set.
