A new Jimi Hendrix album entitled People, Hell and Angels is set for a 2013 release, made up of music recorded by Hendrix in 1968 and 1969.

The 'lost' album was recorded when Hendrix was working on music separate to The Jimi Hendrix experience and, according to the Jimi Hendrix website, sees the legendary guitarist going on in a more experimental direction.

He was thinking about whether or not to add the songs to First Rays of the New Rising Sun, which was to be the follow-up to Electric Ladyland, and planned to be a double album.

The website describes the sound as, "Hendrix toys with horns, keyboards, percussion and a second guitar, exploring fresh diversions from his legendary guitar work."

Hendrix died in 1970 but that doesn't seem to have stopped him from releasing music, as at least one Jimi Hendrix album has still been released every year or so for the past ten years - all made up of original live or unreleased material.

People, Hell and Angels is due to be released on 5 March 2013.
