Band of Gypsys releases its new recording featuring Jimi Hendrix. "Lover Man" became available on the same day that Hendrix's album Both Sides of the Sky was released.
The three-minute clip opens with a written text that reads Jimi Hendrix, as well as the song's title. Montages and clips of Hendrix playing his guitar were also shown throughout the video.
"Lover Man" was recorded by Hendrix in 1969, just a month before the Band of Gypsys recorded its self-titled live album. Both Sides of the Sky also features Hendrix's other recordings, such as "Send My Love to Linda," "Jungle," "Mannish Boy," and "Cherokee Mist," as well as guest performances by Stephen Stills and Johnny Winter.
Eddie Kramer Talks About Jimi Hendrix
Earlier this year, Hendrix's go-to engineer, Eddie Kramer, opened up about what it was like working with the musician.
"Imagine Jimi doing a take and when everything falls apart, he'd start playing the Batman or Peter Gunn theme without missing a beat. He'd do something really silly and s***** and everybody would be cracking up. He wanted to keep it light. He'd also do it to change it up a bit and inevitably those lines would work themselves into songs, and that's Jimi's sly humor," said Kramer.
