2010 compilation album by Jimi Hendrix
Valleys of Neptune [2] Jimi Hendrix . Released in the United States on March 9, 2010, the album was promoted as having "12 previously unreleased studio recordings", including the title track , "one of the most sought after of all of Hendrix's commercially unavailable recordings".[3]
The tracks on Valleys of Neptune were largely self-produced by Hendrix, and received extra posthumous production from Janie Hendrix, Eddie Kramer and John McDermott.[4] Electric Ladyland the Jimi Hendrix Experience : vocalist and guitarist Hendrix, bass guitarist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell .[4] lead single released from the album was "Valleys of Neptune", on February 1, 2010, followed by "Bleeding Heart " on March 1;[5]
Background [ edit ]
The majority of the tracks on Valleys of Neptune were recorded in early 1969, while Hendrix was experimenting with songs for his unfinished fourth album, following the successful release of Electric Ladyland in September 1968. Numerous versions have been released, both officially and otherwise, and the majority of the "previously unreleased" recordings present on the 2010 album had been released in one form or another before, albeit sometimes in inferior quality or different versions.
Album cover [ edit ]
The album artwork is based on a painting by Hendrix himself in 1957. "He went through a phase doing watercolors at school and this was one of the 110 drawings of his that our father kept. When I saw this one he did in 1957, it screamed 'Valleys of Neptune' to me so we knew we'd use it for this project," said his step-sister, Janie. The album artwork is a mix of his painting and a Linda McCartney photograph of him with a blue tint.[6]
Critical reception [ edit ]
Valleys of Neptune received generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, it received an average score of 68, based on 15 reviews.[16] In Rolling Stone Will Hermes found the music beautiful and exciting, while writing, "Are these tracks 'finished' as Hendrix would've intended? Probably not. But as a glimpse of the guitarist extending his reach beyond the Experience trio, it's thrilling.".[14] Greg Kot , writing for the Chicago Tribune [9] Financial Times [17]
In the Los Angeles Times Ann Powers was less enthusiastic and felt "fans will be fascinated by these bluesy riffs with the Experience , but this album of unreleased material from the archives doesn't convey much that was unknown."[11] Q [13]
