I’m very happy with how this turned out and I hope everyone enjoys listening to this music as much as I enjoyed recording it in memory of Jimi Hendrix!” Official release date for “Tribute to Jimi” (Often Imitated but Never Duplicated) is Friday, May 18, 2018 and is available in various configurations.
