A very posthumous release, Bleeding Heart is due on digital March 1st, and 7″ a week later.
News has reached Drop-D’s towers of a single upcoming from the next posthumous Hendrix release, Valleys of Neptune.
A rare Jimi Hendrix cover recorded over 40 years ago is set to be released as a digital release on March 1 and a seven-inch vinyl release seven days later.
‘Bleeding Heart’ is the guitarist’s take on ELMORE JAMES‘ classic blues song, originally recorded in April 1969. The studio recording also features bassist Billy Cox and drummer Rocky Isaac.
Julien Temple has also made a video to accompany the track.
The single will feature previously unreleased B-side ‘Peace In Mississippi’ and will be released in conjunction with his forthcoming posthumous studio album Valleys Of Neptune.
The video is viewable at the link below. Drop-D’s take? Honestly, this reeks of a vastly inferior cash-in.
