Appearing like a flash, Jimi Hendrix burst onto the international music scene of the mid 1960's like nothing ever seen before or since. Born in Seattle in 1942, early life experiences both in the United States Army and as a backing musician for the likes of the Isley Brothers and Little Richard on the Chitlin' Circuit helped serve as formative groundwork for what was to come.

Of particular interest is Jimi Hendrix's use of the studio, of improvisational creation, of jamming, as a foundational aspect to his creative process. Third Man Records, in partnership with Experience Hendrix and in connection with Legacy Recordings (a division of Sony Music Entertainment) is beyond humbled and honored to announce Jimi Hendrix Valley of Jams 1969-1970 is the 67th entry in Third Man Records' long-running archival audio series The Vault.

English guitarist Robin Trower's early music is linked to psychedelia in the same way the public perceived the early work of Jimi Hendrix. Musically, the two created in the 1960s and (in Trower's case, also the early 1970s), what could be termed, an uncanny ability to tap into realms of sounds that jar the senses. Both guitarists shared a penchant for playing passages of guitar music punctuated by ethereal beauty and capable of executing mind-numbing, dissonant solos. Trower still summons that aural muse with enthusiasm and skill. Here, writer Bruce Madden explores this musical realm with a very candid Robin Trower in this classic 1997 interview from the pages of Experience Hendrix: The Official Jimi Hendrix Magazine. …

It was simply the line-up for the first three installments of a new weekly BBC radio show, Top Gear, and a new era in the history of British broadcasting. …
