This week on Just Released with Bill Riner & Brandon
Stewart:
“Well, I stand up next to a mountain,
And I chop it down with the edge
of my hand…”:
[“Voodoo
Child (Slight Return)” – The Jimi Hendrix Experience [1968]
Who
would think, that after the multitude of posthumous releases already scattered
in his wake, that there could possibly be anything “new” from the estate of
Jimi Hendrix? In a matter of weeks another ‘new’ Hendrix album will be issued
and in JR this week, we hear the first hint of it by way of (the now 45
year-old recording), “Somewhere”.
Jimi
may have been the greatest but he’s not the only guitarist of note to be
featured in this week's edition. We also welcome the 30th
anniversary Legacy Edition of ‘Texas Flood’, the memorable debut album by
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, as well as the return of English guitar
hero, Johnny Marr. Since making his name with The Smiths back in the ‘80s,
Johnny Marr has played (or collaborated) with a proverbial Who’s Who of Rock
musicians and is now about to release ‘The Messenger’, his first solo album.
Ben
Harper is back and in a collaborative mood, this time teaming up with Chicago
Blues veteran harmonica player, Charlie Musselwhite on what may well prove his
best album in a decade. And on the subject of veterans, Aaron Neville also
makes a return this week with ‘My True Story’, his reverential homage to the
Doo-Wop and early R&B songs that inspired him.
Popping
up fresh on the JR Radar this week was the new single from American Pop trio,
Haim who promise to release their debut album this year and the new album from
the curiously named English band, I Am Kloot.

I’m Gone” (from the album, ‘Get Up!’)
