Jimi Hendrix—Crash Landing (1970)

While working on his fourth album, Jimi Hendrix built up a hearty amount of tracks that didn't end up on some of the proposed tracklists for the album. That's really a shame, since a good bunch of these tracks are fan-fucking-tastic. "Drifting", especially, is a favourite of mine, plus there's the rare studio version of "Machine Gun", clocking in at 12 minutes or so, which finds a good home on this album.
I went with the title and album art of the maligned Alan Douglas album, since all things considered, it's a good album cover, and "Crash Landing" is on the album.

 After he died, there was a scramble to overdub the final demos that Buddy Holly made. There were some done in 1959 and 1960, but I don'...
