Epic announcement.

Bring on Are You Experienced and some live tracks & that will make up for releasing Axis first.

Yeah, if you read the full article, it seems we are going to get a full catalog! I am excited and will be buying the full album and the new song.

That article is a great read. Definitely going to get the entire set as well, and look forward to seeing what other Hendrix-related stuff may come of this. Article mentions Hendrix avatar and instrument possiblities for in-game. Maybe that's something that Rock Band 3 will implement.

If this is an early April Fools joke, I will be very sad.

I really hope that includes his Blues Album.
