West Coast Seattle Boy - The Jimi Hendrix Anthology will feature more than 4 hours of rare recordings by the legendary guitarist.  The 4 CD, 1 DVD Legacy collection on sale November 16 spans brief but prolific career of Hendrix from his days as a sideman with the Isley Brothers, Little Richard, King Curtis and lesser known R&B artists through his Experience years and work with Buddy Miles and the Band of Gypsys.  The DVD includes Jimi Hendrix VooDoo Child, a 90 minute documentary by Bob Smeaton, the man behind Fesitval Express, the remarkable documentary about the thoroughly dysfunctional trans-Canada train tour by the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, the Band and several other groups not long after the Woodstock Festival.  In addition to rare performance footage of Hendrix, the movie includes glimpses of materials from the Hendrix family archive of Jimi's sketches, lyrics and correspondence with family members.  Janie Hendrix, the CEO of Experience Hendrix heralds the project as a '...vast exploration of my brother's musical and life experience'.  Get the track list for the CD's here.
