Journey to "Neptune"

In case you missed it yesterday, AOL's Spinner music Web site posted a stream of the lead single and title track of Legacy's new Jimi Hendrix vault compilation, Valleys of Neptune. Me? I dig it quite a bit. It's a solid track, and not a patch on his greatest hits (that can sometimes be the trick with posthumous works, especially when they're released as singles).

Hear it here, plus read a cool interview with Valleys co-producer/Hendrix historian John McDermott here. And check out the full track listing for the record at Amazon if you haven't already.

Mike Duquette

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
