The death of Jimi Hendrix was a huge tragedy for music fans and rock’n'roll. He was a master of guitar and anyone who went to see the left handed genius play were always amazed by what they heard and saw. They were watching a musical phenomenon.

Though, not everyone saw Jimi’s death as a bad thing. Even after he died, others tried to sell his records that they said were “never released”. The buyers would pop in their tape and would be disappointed to hear some junk that was recorded at a live show with terrible sound equipment.

While there were other legitimist posthumous records released, the fans are still were still not pleased. They wanted something more, and they got it.

Word has it that Sony Music released a new Jimi album, called Valleys of Neptune, which has a track list of 12 full songs that were recorded by the master himself.

Here is the track list for the Valley of Neptune:

1. Stone Free
2. Valleys of Neptune
3. Bleeding Heart
4. Hear My Train a Comin’
5. Mr. Bad Luck
6. Sunshine of Your Love
7. Lover Man
8. Ships Passing Through the Night
9. Fire
10. Red House
11. Lullaby for the Summer
12. Crying Blue Rain

The majority of these songs were recorded in the late 1960’s, right around the time of Woodstock.

This release is said to be a part of Sony’s plan to release more Jimi Hendrix merchandise including DVD sets, and more.

Anyway, enjoy another of Jimi’s songs: “Hear my Train a Comin’

Amos Lee is a name that not many music fans will probably be aware of and shame on you if you are one of them.

This American singer songwriter has been slowly plodding along in the shadows of many commercialised success stories such as Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz.

Well if you like them, go and see this guy live because he blows them out of the water completely. The difference is that Amos Lee brings a different kind of music and lyrics to the table.

He is not as talented a guitarist as the likes of Johnson or even a Newton Faulkner but the clarity and edge he brings to his own music is mind blowing.

If you’ve never heard of him then what a magical journey you are about to embark upon. Supply and Demand is Lee’s best album to date and it defines him as musician perfectly.

There is just the right blend of slow acoustic guitar music, the type you would find on the streets of Barcelona, and more upbeat and melodic music, the type you would hear from a much neater and refined Paulo Ntini.

Lee’s main tours are across the United States because that is where he has grown hugely in popularity. He has popped over to Europe on occasions and has promised to do so again either late in 2010 or early in 2011.

When you hear this guy sing, it will be like nectar to your ears because his voice has such a clear and sharp edge to it. He lets the lyrics and the power of himself take over from the music and subtle touches of an acoustic guitar string.

Buy Supply and Demand, in fact buy it all because you will be hard pushed to find someone as under rated as this guy.

Heavy rock band, Incubus, have announced that they plan to release a seventh studio album later in 2010.

Incubus, fronted by Brandon Boyd, have not released a studio album since Light Grenades in 2006.

New songs on their Greatest Hits CD have been met with mixed reaction as the core of the band’s fans want them to return to a much more raw sound, which was evident on 1997’s Science and 1999’s Make Yourself.

The band have been separated for the last four years as each member has followed their own individual pursuits. Boyd has taken an art course, while drummer, Jose Pasillas III, has recently become a father.

Boyd explained on the band’s website that all concerned felt it was the right time for them to take a break from music and come back stronger for it in the future. Well that future is now here.

Boyd has promised that the band have already started writing new material, which they will try out during a summer tour of the United States this year. If all goes to plan, an album should be in the shops before Christmas.

There had been rumours that the band were on the verge of going their separate ways after a difference of opinion between bassist, Ben Kenney, and lead guitarist, Mike Einziger.

However, both band members have rubbished any speculation and have said that far too much was read into the hiatus the band took, which was purely innocent and necessary.

The expectation has just started to boil and if the new album hits all of the right notes then it could lead to a sell out world tour. Something the band have said they have wanted for the entirety of their careers but have never managed to pull off.

Watch this space.
