A lost Stills/Hendrix album: Excuse me while I tape this session

A "lost" Stephen Stills/Jimi Hendrix album? A long lost tape has turned up in Stills' house.

Stephen Stills says he has found the lost tapes for an album he recorded with Jimi Hendrix more than 30 years ago.

The unreleased album was reportedly discovered in a stack of material at Stills' house. It seems Stills used to record every session in those days and simply forgot about the existence of the tapes.

Stills' friend Graham Nash is understood to be cleaning up the tapes and preparing the album for an official release.

John McDermott, one of the archivists and overseers of Jimi Hendrix’s recordings, has also reportedly confirmed that the Hendrix/Stills album is being readied for release. It will feature sessions which Stills recorded with Hendrix in 1969 and 1970, he said.
