First released in February of 1975 and containing a wealth of rare and previously unavailable tracks, Crash Landing is an enduring testament to the genius of Jimi Hendrix. Eight original cuts highlight not only the guitarist's endlessly inventive improvisational artistry but a host of talented backing musicians, including such longtime Hendrix stalwarts as drummer Buddy Miles and bassist Billy Cox.
After reaching an agreement with the artist's estate in early 1975, producers Alan Douglas and Tony Bongiovi began assembling unreleased material for a new Jimi Hendrix album. The original tracks for the LP were subsequently augmented by such top-notch studio artists as Jeff Mironov (guitar), Allan Schwartzberg (drums), Jimmy Maeulen (percussion), Bob Babbit (bass), and a chorus of backing vocalists that included Vivian Cherry, Linda November and Barbara Massey.
The result was Crash Landing, a seamless blend of original and updated material.
