DALTREY WANTS TO RECORD WITH PAGE
Jimmy Page is an amazing guitarist, but The Who’s Roger Daltrey thinks he could use a great singer, which is why he wants to record a blues album with the Led Zeppelin rocker. Daltrey told the BBC that he’d “love to” do a record with Page, adding, “I don’t sing the blues with The Who, but that’s what I used to be before Townshend started writing. I used to be a great blues singer.” In the meantime, Roger and The Who are gearing up for their March 30th concert in London.

HENDRIX’S BLUES COVER
Over 40 years ago, Jimi Hendrix recording a cover of the Elmore James blues track “Bleeding Heart,” and on March 1st, you’ll be able to hear it. The never-before-released song will be available digitally that day and the following week, will come out as a seven-inch vinyl. According to NME.com, Julien Temple, who directed the documentary The Filth and the Fury, has made a video to accompany the track.
The Rolling Stones 1972 classic `Exile On Main Street` will soon be released with songs from the sessions that until now have never been officially released.
The songs we never heard back then that we will hear this year are "Plundered My Soul," "Dancing in the Light," "Following the River" and "Pass The Wine".
The release will also feature alternate versions of ‘Soul Survivor’ and ‘Loving Cup’.
Four other yet-to-be named tracks will feature on the 2010 album.
The Stones website has also announced that “As a complement to the release of Exile on Main Street, a documentary, "Stones in Exile," has just been completed for fans to view on US Network television and through BBC Worldwide internationally. The documentary features rare, never-before-seen archival film, photos and interviews as well as new conversations with the band and the artists they influence. Produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker John Battsek and directed by Stephen Kijak, who is known for award-winning work on Cinemania and Scott Walker: 30 Century Man, "Stones in Exile" offers an uncommon glimpse into the lives of the band as they created one of the greatest albums of all time”.
The reissue of ‘Exile On Main Street’ will be released in May.
More Unreleased Jimi Hendrix To Come
The new Jimi Hendrix album `Valleys of Neptune` will not be the last unreleased music we hear from the legendary guitarist who died 40-years ago this year.
“We probably have about 14 more project to go over the next 10 years,” his sister Janie Hendrix tells Undercover News. “It will be a combination of concert footage, studio, live CDs and DVDs.
Janie now runs the family business Experience Hendrix LLC and manages the Jimi Hendrix catalogue. She says he was forever performing and recording “He performed a lot,” she says. “He was paid well his performances and a lot of it was filmed or recorded. We also mix concert footage with documentary footage and we have a lot of that in the can as well”.
The tracks from new album ‘Valleys of Neptune have a common thread. ’The common thread outside of Mr Bad Luck was about the time period,” she says. “In 1969, Jimi had finished ‘Electric Ladyland’ and he was working on this new sound. He was telling us about this new music, this new sound that he wanted people to hear. He thought he could really change music. It was similar to what we did in 1997 when we put out ‘First Rays of the New Rising Sun’. Once again, that was the same time period that ‘Valleys of Neptune’ was from”.
Jimi Hendrix was only around for four years but left an enormous catalogue. “The vault is full of songs in different versions,” she says. “He was such a perfectionist and he would hear things a different way. He never really played the same song the same way twice. That's what we have. Over 110 songs he wrote and accomplished a lot in four years”.
‘Valleys of Neptune’ will be released through Sony Music.
Sony Music is offering you a chance to win a not-for-sale limited edition collectors item Jimi Hendrix iPod Touch for those who preorder the album here.
The prize includes the collectors edition Valleys of Neptune iPod Touch, a Jimi Hendrix canvas print and a CD pack featuring the newly remastered Jimi Hendrix CD collection.

Grateful Dead exhibit truckin' to New YorkA museum salutes the Dead with an exhibit full of band treasures.
By Josh Getlin / latimes.com
Even if you're a card-carrying Deadhead, your first response to the new exhibit of Grateful Dead history and memorabilia that opens Friday at the New-York Historical Society might be summed up in one word: Why?
Why, in an august building filled with busts and portraits of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Alexander Hamilton -- in New York's oldest museum, to be exact -- is there a room packed with posters from the Fillmore East, rock guitars, videos of kids lining up to buy concert tickets and tie-dyed T-shirts?
Sponsors of the colorful exhibit have no shortage of answers. And they were in a partying mood this week as they unveiled "The Grateful Dead: Now Playing at the New-York Historical Society," a roomful of treasures drawn from the band's archive, which it has donated to UC Santa Cruz.
The exhibition, which runs through July 4, shows that if the Bay Area "was the birthplace and heart of the band, the East Coast was the energizing center," said Christine Bunting, head of special collections and archives at UC Santa Cruz. "The band's links to New York were strong. They played here 155 times."
As she spoke, museum crews were preparing for an opening-night party featuring Santa Cruz wines and a Grateful Dead tribute band. The gift shop, normally top heavy with books about the Founding Fathers and New York history, was selling Summer of Love pillows and umbrellas festooned with peace signs.
"We're very interested in documenting not just the story of the band but the history of counterculture movements," said Debra Schmidt Bach, who along with fellow Historical Society curator Nina Nazionale helped organize the exhibit. "The idea is to bring you back in time but also to show how vital and important that history is for us today."
Or, as an unidentified youth says in a video about the group's fans: "The Dead, got to be the best, man. Wherever the Dead are, you'll see the people."
A visit begins with a grainy, blown-up photo advertising a 1969 Dead show at the Fillmore East. Nearby, Dennis Larkins and Peter Barsotti's iconic poster for the band's 1980 concerts at Radio Music Hall -- featuring two Grateful Dead skeletons, Sam and Samantha -- is one of many original artworks. Another photo memorializes the band's concert at Columbia University in May 1968, when a student strike had shut down the campus.
The group's West Coast roots are, of course, central to any retelling of the Grateful Dead story, and the exhibit is packed with California memorabilia. Glass cases display heartfelt fan letters and bootleg merchandise (a "Boogie til you Barf" bag with the band's logo) plus 1965 photos of the group in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district.
A handwritten notebook by renowned concert taper Dick Latvala states that a Dec. 30, 1978, Dead show at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion "is one of the finest audience recordings I know of." Internal documents show the evolution of the band's farsighted business practices, such as their decision to allow free taping and exchanges of live performances to build long-term fan loyalty.
This bond helped the band grow into a musical and merchandising powerhouse that quickly transcended its '60s trappings. Until leader Jerry Garcia died in 1995 and the group formally disbanded, the Dead was one of the most successful touring bands in history. Three decades after the group began, its following included politicians and celebrities along with millions of other loyal fans.
The Dead archive overflows with materials documenting this odyssey, and UC Santa Cruz officials were eager to get some items out to the public now. But Steele said it will take a long time to catalog the collection, much of which is temporarily stored in a large warehouse.
"Eventually, we'll house the materials in a new room at the main library and -- as we've promised the band -- the collection will be digitized so anyone, academics and fans alike, can have access to it," she added.
Some might have expected a California museum to get first crack at these items. But the New-York Historical Society won the nod and, in a twist that might have brought a smile to Garcia's eye, you can thank Henry Kissinger for it.
The former U.S. secretary of state delivered a talk last year at the museum and made repeated references to the enduring importance of the 1960s, especially as a key to understanding American history.
Officials began exploring ideas for an exhibit about that decade and believed they had found a perfect fit when news broke about the Dead's archive at Santa Cruz. It also helped that a former board member, Emmanuel Stern, had donated personal items to the collection and suggested that a museum show about the Dead and the '60s be assembled.
"We're not just talking about something that happened a long time ago," said Nazionale, pointing to a display of responses from Dead fans, who were surveyed after they viewed simulcasts of the Radio City Music Hall concerts. "Imagine, reaching out and polling your fans in 1980! It's so ahead of its time."

Mick Jagger And Angelina Jolie Got Their Ya Yas Out
A soon to be released book claims that Mick Jagger and Angelina Jolie got their rocks off together back in 1997.
‘Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: The True Story’ by Jenny Paul says that the pair had their affair when Jolie was working on the Rolling Stones ‘Anybody Seen My Baby’ video.
Mick was married to Jerry Hall at the time and Angelina was married to actor Johnny Lee Miller. The pair hooked up again 6 years later in Bangkok when Angelina was in the process of divorcing Billy Bob Thornton.
The book has a list of Angelina’s conquests including Ralph Fiennes and Colin Farrell.
The release date of the book is to-to-be determined.
Paul McCartney will headline the Isle of Wight festival.
The Isle of Wight Festival is extremely proud to announce that the legendary McCartney will be headlining the Main Stage on Sunday 13 June bringing this year’s festival, which takes place from 11-13 June, to a spectacular close.
Renowned the world over, Paul McCartney awoke a generation giving a fresh sound to rock n’ roll, changing the face of music forever, first with The Beatles and then as a critically acclaimed solo artist. Across a career that has spanned over 30 years, he’s penned some of the most famous tracks ever written, including 'Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’, 'Live and Let Die’ and 'I Saw Her Standing There’, meaning this year’s festival-goers will be in for something truly special as this living legend performs a rousing set.
Paul McCartney says: 'I always remember hearing such great things about this festival and it has such a sense of history with the likes of Jimi Hendrix playing there the first time round. This will be my first show on the Isle of Wight and I’m looking forward to a rollicking night of rock n’ roll'.
Festival promoter John Giddings adds: 'Forty years after Jimi Hendrix performed 'Hey Joe’ at Seaclose Park we’ve finally gotten to 'Hey Jude’. I can’t wait!'
Paul’s live shows have reached a new legendary status in recent years garnering unprecedented reviews from fans and critics alike wherever he goes. He’s pushed boundaries, performed to millions and made global news with monumental shows including performances in Red Square, Russia, outside the Coliseum in Rome, performing live to a NASA space station and the largest outdoor show ever in the Ukraine.
The UK got a recent taste for Paul’s live show last Christmas when he bought his 2009 'Good Evening Europe’ tour to a climatic and memorable finale at London’s 02 Arena, his only UK show of 2009. Reviews for the show were phenomenal and prove that Paul McCartney is a live experience that no one should miss.
This special show at the Isle of Wight Festival is part of Paul’s all new 'Up And Coming’ tour which starts in the US in March and comes to the UK and Ireland in June.
In addition to Paul McCartney, other world-class artists performing on Sunday’s Main Stage include Pink, Editors, Spandau Ballet and Friendly Fires. Across the course of the weekend over 45 acts will take to the stage including Jay-Z, Blondie, The Strokes, Florence + The Machine, Biffy Clyro, Crowded House, Paloma Faith, Mr. Hudson, Orbital, La Roux, Marina and the Diamonds and many more.
