Album review: Jimi Hendrix – ‘People, Hell and Angels’ [9/10]

There’s been a wealth of unreleased Jimi Hendrix materials – rumour has it in his periods of peak creativity, it didn’t take more than a day or two to create an album. Ironically, more material has been released since his infamous passing than during his lifetime; some have claimed, and with good arguments, that this is stripping Hendrix of his legacy, but for myself, I just have to say that I’m a little more selfish,…
