In a video posted last November, a clip of a "new" Hendrix track called "Somewhere" could be heard as engineer Eddie Kramer discussed the making of People, Hell & Angels, a collection of 12 previously unreleased studio recordings from the guitar legend.
Now the entire song — which features Buddy Miles and Stephen Stills — can be heard in full online. Stream it below via the video player.
Culled from the guitarist's final recordings, the post-Experience material promises to veer in unexpected directions, even for diehard Hendrix fans. The collection, with a title coined by Hendrix, features a host of new collaborators for the guitar legend.
"We're thrilled to be able to release People, Hell & Angels during the celebration of the 70th anniversary of my brother's birth," Janie Hendrix says. "The brilliance of the album serves to underscore what we've known all along: that there has never been and never will be a musical force equal to his and that we cherish and take inspiration of what he left us both now and for many generations to come ... simply eternity."
People, Hell & Angels is out March 5.
