Jimi Hendrix's collaboration with Stephen Stills highlights Both Sides of the Sky, billed as the final album of new material from the guitar god's archive.
On a pre-CSNY version of Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock," Hendrix played sideman on an upbeat, keyboard-driven take. Stills recalls the 1969 session for Rolling Stone: "At one point, Hendrix picked up a bass and they started playing the song. I wanted to see what would happen playing that with him. He was just the gentlest guy. Watching him play was like watching the greatest athlete you ever saw, like Julius Irving or Muhammad Ali. It was unbelievable. He taught me to quit thinking and let it happen."
Both Sides of the Sky is due in March.
