According to Janie, sister of the late Jimi Hendrix, the legendary guitarist was fixing to alter his style late in his career in order to sound more like Earth, Wind & Fire.
Janie is currently prepping the release of People, Hell and Angels, a posthumous Hendrix album, which she says will verify her claim:
"He was bringing all these instruments like he did at Woodstock. The way he was describing it in 1969 was what Earth Wind & Fire became. That's what we would have had: richer, bigger bands with more sounds and more cultures. There would have been a definite evolution."
People, Hell and Angels, the title of which Janie says came from something "Jimi wrote down at the time he was creating the songs," is due out by the end of this year.
