I believe Jimi Hendrix was moving in a new direction when he perished.

I think he was becoming firmly rooted in hard blues like the many guitar slingers he inspired. I would have liked that, but I wonder, was he mellowing or growing? Was he losing interest in wild psychedelics and exploring the comforting world of opiates?

His posthumous album "Rainbow Bridge" was sold as a movie soundtrack of the same name, but it was actually a compilation of songs recorded for a potential fourth studio album and it features an entirely new sound for Hendrix. The release includes "Dolly Dagger", "Room Full Of Mirrors", "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)", and this one.
