Today brought the news that a new song featuring none other than legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. Before becoming one of the greatest ever to play the six-string Jimi was a session musician for the likes of Little Richard and The Isley Brothers, and during that phase he recorded a number of tracks with New York R&B band Curtis Knight and the Squires back in 1965.
A year later he would go on to become the Jimi we all know and love, but not before leaving behind a handful of records that never really saw the light of day. Today the Hendrix estate has unearthed “Station Break,” a song Jimi wrote and played on, and it’s actually a song that had never before been released on any format.
Hear it below when it becomes available for the public; until then stream the Blues number via The Daily Beast premiere.
